US Nav CD ROM in Euro NavPlus system...
Dion helped me to transmit about 130 Megabytes of US Nav data (ZIP-ed CD ROM) from US to Switzerland (thanks to a newly established flat rate internet access here...). After having rebuilt a copy of that CD ROM I tried it in my NavPlus system.
The system simply told me "Can not read CD ROM data".
I did some research in the hexadecimal code of that CD ROM and I could verify that there was some german text included in different files. However I could not confirm that the US Nav data is being produced by Teledata (normal source for Europe).
At least we can answer the question if it's possible to replace the US Nav system with the NavPlus from Europe: NO it isn't...

Re: US Nav CD ROM in Euro NavPlus system...
Did you try burning a CD made the same way from a Euro CD?
Reason I ask is that sometimes there are funny file order issues or special track information on CDs that get copied by an image copy but not by a file copy. If Dion just ZIPed his CD then you might not be able to burn a CD which would work in a US system either... Perhaps all hope is not yet lost?<p>Richard

OF COURSE IT HAVE TO BE DONE BY CD Image!!!
this is junker from S4 board.
the only way that this work is by doing CD Image.
Straight FILE COPY never work on this kind of disc.
Please Please send him the iso image.. and then zip it. I have done it successfully with PSXCopy 5.0/6.0 the best iso backup i found.
Let me know dion, if you have problem i can take over and work with ernst on ISO. email me. i dont check this board often. but have been able to know about Ernst great volunteering as i am interested in NAV Plus on S4 also(a friend did it already just using the TV feature only w/o any GPS rigging.)

Re: OF COURSE IT HAVE TO BE DONE BY CD Image!!!
Transfer time is not such a big issue if we can start early on friday evening (European time) and if we can use a server which supports "auto resume" in case the data stream gets interrupted for some reason.
Let me know what you want to do me exactly and what sort of software I need (almost sure that I already have it). BTW I'm an electronics/computer engineer by education (but holding a mangement position since long time...).
