I bought a 2008 Honda with a Factory installed Navigation for US and Canada. Honda and Alpine have not been of any assistance in trying to obtain a way to get the system to work in Europe. The GPS system is Alpine, using Windows CE and Navteq maps. My friend is having the same problem with his USA Merc using Alpine GPS/ Navteq Map.In the Honda with DVD in I get out of Region error. On his Merc the Nav system start up but is black - when he scrolls out and to the left he can view the USA with distance 4,000 miles. I compared the DVDs - MERC Navteq vs Honda Nateq and there are a few Gigantic Map files that are the same on both DVD. These files have the below extensions. *****.AR0 *****.AR1 *****.AR2 *****.BAS I think if I can find the European version of the Map files in the correct format I can create a new DVD replacing eh USA for European map files. Any comments? If the concept is correct do you know where maps of Europe with the correct file extensions can be purchased or downloaded? Any help comments appreciated - thanks

| I have an 09 CR-V with navi. When I searched for Subway on the navigation system, it gave me one in Pennsylvania, but I live in Louisiana. I noticed others have had the same problem. Does anyone know if this is a bug in the system? Is it just not possible to find the nearest location for the restaurant requested? It does fine if I already know the address, but I haven't had any luck finding anything using only the name. | |
| I have found that the Points Of Interests database is not very complete. The POI of a $400 Garmin Nuvi is far superior to the Honda unit. | |

Replying to: fatjack (Nov 12, 2008 8:24 am) I just moved to Europe and have downloaded files which when burned stated that it is an older version of the software than is in my US system. I am awaiting my US DVD and wanted to try exactly what you were thinking, combing the two. Were you able to make the DVD by combining the two or can you provide me with some hints on what either worked or didn't work. Thanks

Replying to: natoshoe (Feb 12, 2009 6:21 am) I now have a correct map disk. I later found out that the Chryslers sold in Europe are supposed to have the same map format. I loaded up the new maps all looked OK, however the next problem is there seems to be a region lock - so I got the same out of region message even though it has the correct maps. If you look into the system file by Cancel, Menu, Map hold for 5 seconds you can see satellites and time date is functioning fine. Ideally a patch is needed to sets the region code to Europe. That is way more then I can do. See: http://www.carhack.org/forum/index.php?action=printpage;topic=18.0 Their patch is to reprogram your REC model Navigation unit to disable the In-Motion limitations. I doubt I will be able to solve this issue. I am thinking about detaching the nav unit looking at the attachments and seeing if by removing it I can at least use the other feature like clock set and door unlock. Perhaps buy another unit and use that? Keep me informed on your progress! Good luck! |
