Page 2: MioPocket 4.0

1.1 DescriptionMioPocket is a frontend for Windows CE-based devices, mainly GPS navigation devices. It is an installable package of programs,scripts, registry files and skins to "unlock" PNA/GPS devices and allow them to be used for far more than just navigation (ex. formusic, movies, appointments, multiple navigation apps, etc.), like PDAs. Nearly all GPS devices use Windows CE as the coreoperating system, just as Pocket PCs do, but they usually try to keep you from accessing the operating system so that you can'tmess anything up. MioPocket gets around that to open up a world of functionality to what is, ordinarily, a very limited device.MioPocket is the most-packed and most-fully-featured unlock for PNAs available and is free and legal to use, as it consists 100%of freely-distributable content. What MioPocket is not is a replacement for MioMap, Mobile Navigator or any other OEM navigationsoftware. It is just a frontend from which you may launch your device's navigation software or other navigation software that you'vepurchased.

1.2 Programs and featuresMioPocket comes with just about everything that you might want: three media players (video and audio, nearly all popular formats,including MP3, WMA, AAC, OGG, MP4, H.264/AVC, WMV, MOV, DivX, XviD and more), four e-book readers, multipledictionaries (including English to 5 languages), dozens of games, two image viewers, two paint programs, MS Office documentviewers, text editors, handwritten note-taking apps, four general GPS plotting/mapping apps (good for geocaching), three differentappointments/tasks apps, internet apps, registry editors, task managers/switchers, file managers, a contacts app, a calculator, aunit converter, an alarm clock and more (all free/shareware). See the section 6 below for a full list. Note: MioPocket does not comewith MioMap, iGo, Garmin, TomTom or any other commercial navigation software. Icons and scripts are included for them, but notthe programs, themselves (since they are not free).

1.3 Device supportTechnically, MioPocket should run on any Windows CE-based device. Due to the great many brands and types of devices outthere, though, some will have better success than others when it comes to the ease of installation and the number of includedfeatures and programs that work. Most major Windows CE-based GPS brands, such as Mio (which MioPocket was originallydesigned for), Magellan, Navigon, Navman, Sanyo and Asus (as well as many other lesser brands, like Becker, Rightway, Insignia,Binatone, Medion, Nextar, Route 66 and Wayteq) have installation instructions in MioPocket's Readme file. For brands thatMioPocket does not include instructions for, you may have to look around online (including the gpspassion.com forums) for unlockinstructions and then adapt MioPocket accordingly... or be a pioneer and figure it out for yourself. Note that TomTom and Garmindevices are Linux-based and, hence, MioPocket (which is Windows CE-based) cannot run on them.

2.0 Installation

2.1 Installation methodsMioPocket can be installed to SD card or to internal flash disk (SD-free installation). Each has its advantages anddisadvantages...

SD advantages: SD cards have ample space, copying to SD card is fastest and returning to factory condition is usually aseasy as popping out the SD card and performing a hard reset.SD disadvantages: Using MioPocket requires having an SD card with MioPocket on it in the device at all times andreturning from a long standby sometimes requires waiting a few seconds for the SD card to initialize.Flash advantages: Always on the device, so it doesn't require having MioPocket on an SD card or waiting for it to initialize.Flash disadvantages: Requires renaming or editing of original device files (which can be dangerous if the wrong files arechanged) and uninstalling MioPocket and returning to factory condition requires changing them back. Also, space is usuallylimited, meaning that some users won't be able to fit MioPocket without removing maps and/or MioPocket components. TheSD-free instructions have more information on things to remove.

Recommendation: Start off with SD installation if your device supports it and, especially, if you're a novice or newbie at this. It's theeasiest to setup, upgrade and remove. It's also safe for most devices. More experienced/savvy/daring users can try SD-free later.

2.2 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSDisclaimer: Unlocking a device always carries some risk. No one who has contributed to the creation or support of MioPocket isliable if anything unwanted happens to your device. Proceed only if you accept all risk and responsibility.

2.2a Method #1: SD Card Installation:

1) If you're running an earlier 4.0 release of MioPocket, ensure that MioPocket is not running (either with a hard reset or closingMioPocket via the power menu) and then copy the MioAutoRun folder to the drive where you installed MioPocket, overwriting files.If you're running a 3.0 or earlier release of MioPocket or a different unlock, you will need to remove it. You can do that via the link onthe Settings page or by hard resetting, then deleting the MioAutoRun folder on the SD card and the smaller one on the flash drive.

2) Unzip the MioPocket zip file (if you haven't already) to your computer. Do NOT unzip it directly to your SD card, as that oftenproduces errors or corrupt files. Note: if you happen to get any warnings about viruses, you can safely ignore them, as no onewrites viruses for Windows CE and any that are "found" are almost certainly false positives.

Page 3: MioPocket 4.0

3) Copy the MioAutoRun and Media folders to the root of your SD card ("root" means top level, not in any other folder).

4) Choose either 4A (Mio Digiwalker models), 4B (Mio Moov & Spirit models), 4C (Asian & Israeli Mios) or 4D (non-Mio brands)below...

4A) Mio Digiwalker (non-Moov) models only:

i. Copy MioAutoRun.exe, MioAutoRun.mscr and Mortscript.exe to the root of your SD card, then rename them according to thefollowing:

* c320, c520, c620, c720, c725 and c728: no renaming necessary †* c310: rename MioAutoRun.exe to c310Auto.exe and MioAutoRun.mscr to c310Auto.mscr* c510: rename MioAutoRun.exe to c510Auto.exe and MioAutoRun.mscr to c510Auto.mscr* c710: rename MioAutoRun.exe to c710Auto.exe and MioAutoRun.mscr to c710Auto.mscr. If that doesn't work, rename themto Oscar200DM.exe and Oscar200DM.mscr* c220 and c250: rename MioAutoRun.exe to oscar91adm.exe and MioAutoRun.mscr to oscar91adm.mscr. If that doesn'twork, try the c230 names below.* c230: rename MioAutoRun.exe to autorun_ABC.exe and MioAutoRun.mscr to autorun_ABC.mscr. If that doesn't work,rename them to goce.exe and goce.mscr* h610: rename MioAutoRun.exe to H610Auto.exe and MioAutoRun.mscr to H610Auto.mscr* 268 and 269: no renaming necessary (usually). Switch off the device from the back of the device, using the stylus. Just as itcomes back on, quickly hold the Volume Up and Flag/Set buttons down for a few seconds. Choose No at the prompt, then tapon the grey taskbar at the bottom, choose Start, then Windows Explorer and browse to and run the MioAutoRun.exe that youcopied to the SD card. Skip to Step 6. If none of that works, try renaming MioAutoRun.exe to Oscar100DM.exe andMioAutoRun.mscr to Oscar100DM.mscr, then using the stylus and buttons as described.* 268+ and 269+: rename MioAutoRun.exe to autorunce.exe and MioAutoRun.mscr to autorunce.mscr. If that does not work, trycreated a MioMap folder on your SD card, copying all three files there and renaming MioAutoRun.exe to MioMap.exe andMioAutoRun.mscr to MioMap.mscr* 136: rename MioAutoRun.exe to autorunmio136na.exe and MioAutoRun.mscr to autorunmio136na.mscr* Other Digiwalker models: try all of the above names to see if any of them work. If none work, look around online for clues as towhat the filename needs to be for your particular device (the posters at http://www.gpspassion.com should be able to help) orsimply install to your flash disk (see below), instead.

Note: If the first file is listed in the folder simply as "MioAutoRun" (no ".exe"), then do not include the ".exe" in the new file name,either, because it means that the ".exe" is already there and being hidden by the operating system.

† If your cx20 (esp. c520 or c320) has MioMap 2008 (not 3.x), either out-of-the-box or due to flashing with Mio's firmware tool,then you may need to follow steps 4Bia, 4Bib and 4Bic below (ignore that they're for Moovs).

ii. Skip to Step 5.

4B) Mio Moov & Spirit models only:

i. Create, in the root of your SD card, a folder with one of the following names, depending on your model (Note: filenames AREcase-sensitive):

Moov 150 - European: Cobia_300L_32, North American: Cobia_300L_32_NA, Australian: Cobia_300L_32_AUMoov 200 - European: Cobia_300_32, North American: Cobia_300_64_NA, Australian: Cobia_300_32_AUMoov 200u - European: Cobia_300_64, North American: Cobia_300_64_NA, Australian: Cobia_300_64_AUMoov 210 - European: Cobia_T300_32, North American: Cobia_T300_64_NA, Australian: Cobia_T300_32_AUMoov 300 - European: Cobia_400_64, North American: Cobia_400_64_NA, Australian: Cobia_400_64_AUMoov 310 - European: Cobia_T400_64, North American: Cobia_T400_64_NA, Australian: Cobia_T400_64_AUMoov 330 - European: Cobia_410_64, North American: Cobia_410_64_NA, Australian: Cobia_410_64_AUMoov 360 - European: Cobia_420_64, North American: Cobia_420_64_NA, Australian: Cobia_420_64_AUMoov 370 - European: Cobia_T420_64, North American: Cobia_T420_64_NA, Australian: Cobia_T420_64_AUMoov 500 - European: Cobia_500_64, North American: Cobia_500_64_NA, Australian: Cobia_500_64_AUMoov 500 R2 - European: Cobia500R2, North American: Cobia500R2_NA, Australian: Cobia500R2_AUMoov 510 - European: Cobia_T500_64, North American: Cobia_T500_64_NA, Australian: Cobia_T500_64_AUMoov 560 - European: Cobia_520_64, North American: Cobia_520_64_NA, Australian: Cobia_520_64_AUMoov 580 - European: Cobia_T550_64, North American: Cobia_T550_64_NA, Australian: Cobia_T550_64_AUKnight Rider: KITT_USASpirit models: DefaultSpirit S400/S410: SEEKER_400 or DefaultSpirit S500/S505: SEEKER_T500 or DefaultSpirit S555: SEEKER_T520 or DefaultExample: \Storage Card\Cobia_400_64_NA

If the above does not help you to find the correct folder to use, connect your Moov to your computer and...

Page 4: MioPocket 4.0

a) If you have a file named "app_startup.txt" in the root of your internal flash drive...Open it, scroll down to the very bottom and look for the line that starts with RunSDCardExecutable. That line will looksomething like this...

RunSDCardExecutable(SmartST_CE - Run()): CreateProcess(\Storage card\\auto.exe) failed, error 2

...with "" being the folder name that your device requires. Create that folder on your SD card and proceed to step 4Biibelow.

b) If you have a file named "version.ini" on the internal flash drive in \Program Files\Navman\SmartST_CE\...Open it, look under the [VersionInfo] section for the "Name" entry. Create that folder on your SD card and proceed to step4Bii below.

c) If you have a file named device.xml in the root of the internal flash drive, open it in a text editor, look for a string that startswith "Mantas" and create a folder with that name on your SD card and proceed to step 4Bii below.

If, for whatever reason, the app_startup.txt, version.ini and device.xml methods do not work for you, read the firmware versionlisted (usually in white on black text) when you boot the device up and use the first code that comes after "Cobia". For example,the Moov360's firmware version starts with "COBIA 420", so the folder should start with "Cobia_420" (note the capitalized firstletter, the following lower-case and the underscore). After that, for most devices, comes the amount of internal RAM, "_32" for32MB devices and "_64" for 64MB devices. Finally, North American models append "_NA" on the end and Australian modelsappend "_AU" on the end.

If nothing works for you, try re-formatting your SD card (using Extras\Win32\SD Formatter from the MioPocket zip, if possible)or using an entirely different card, then look for an answer in the forums at www.gpspassion.com

ii. Next, copy MioAutoRun.exe, MioAutoRun.mscr and MortScript.exe to the folder that you just created and rename the first twoto Auto.exe and Auto.mscr, respectively. If the first file is listed in the folder simply as "MioAutoRun" (no ".exe"), then rename thefile simply as "Auto" (because it means that the ".exe" is already there and being hidden by the operating system).

iii. Skip to Step 5.

4C) Asian & Israeli Mios only

If you have a Moov model...

First try the Moov instructions above. If they don't work, follow them again, but don't create a "Cobia" folder on the SD card.Simply copy MioAutoRun.exe, MioAutoRun.mscr and MortScript.exe to the root of the SD card (not in any folder) andrename MioAutoRun.exe to Auto.exe and MioAutoRun.mscr to Auto.mscr.

If you have an asian Digiwalker model...i. Create, in the root of your SD card, a folder named for your model (ex. "C320" for the Asian c320 and "C230" for theAsian C230).

ii. Next, copy MioAutoRun.exe, MioAutoRun.mscr and MortScript.exe to the folder that you just created and rename thefirst two to Auto.exe and Auto.mscr, respectively.

If you have an Israeli Digiwalker model...i. Navigate to the "MioMap" directory on your SD card and rename MioMap.exe to MioMap_orig.exe and, if it exists,MioMap.exe.id to MioMap_orig.exe.id.

ii. Next, copy MioAutoRun.exe, MioAutoRun.mscr and MortScript.exe to the same folder and rename the first two toMioMap.exe and MioMap.mscr, respectively. Also, copy Extras\Device-Specific Install\MioMap.exe.id to the samefolder.

iii. Skip to Step 5.

4D) Non-Mio devices

Warning: Some obscure GPS devices (especially no-name Chinese GPS devices) do not revert Windows back to anunmodified condition when you perform a hard reset. That means that you may not be able to undo any undesirable changesand you may permanently brick your unit. You've been warned, but, if you proceed, be extra careful about what changes youmake. Most reputable brands, including all of the following, are safe.

Asus: Copy MioAutoRun.exe, MioAutoRun.mscr, MortScript.exe and Extras\Device-Specific Install\ASUS_UserFlashCopy.dllto the root of your SD card. No renaming is needed.

Becker: Copy MioAutoRun.exe, MioAutoRun.mscr and MortScript.exe to the root of your SD card, then renameMioAutoRun.exe to AutoRun.exe and MioAutoRun.mscr to AutoRun.mscr

Medion: Copy MioAutoRun.exe, MioAutoRun.mscr and MortScript.exe to the root of your SD card, then renameMioAutoRun.exe to GOCE.exe and MioAutoRun.mscr to GOCE.mscr

Navigon: Copy MioAutoRun.exe, MioAutoRun.mscr and MortScript.exe to the root of your SD card, then renameMioAutoRun.exe to AutoRunCE.exe and MioAutoRun.mscr to AutoRunCE.mscr. If that does not work, rename them toUpdateMe.exe and UpdateMe.mscr

Navman: Create a folder on your SD card named after your model (ex. "S50" for the S50). If that doesn't work (and it won't fornewer models), find and open source.txt on your flash drive, read the "Software:" line and create a folder on your SD card withthe name listed before the "6.0" or "6.1" (ex. "MERMAID_405" for the S100 or "SEEKER_T525" for the MY55T). Next, copyMioAutoRun.exe, MioAutoRun.mscr and MortScript.exe to that folder and rename MioAutoRun.exe to Auto.exe andMioAutoRun.mscr to Auto.mscr

Nextar: Copy MioAutoRun.exe, MioAutoRun.mscr and MortScript.exe to the root of your SD card, then create in the sameplace a file named shell.ini with nothing but the path to MioAutoRun.exe in it.

If Route 66 is on your flash drive, instead, copy the three files to the root of your SD card, then point theRoute 66 icon on the GPS menu to MioAutoRun.exe.

Sanyo: Copy MioAutoRun.exe, MioAutoRun.mscr, MortScript.exe and Extras\Device-Specific Install\Sanyo_AutoRun.inf to theroot of your SD card and rename Sanyo_AutoRun.inf to AutoRun.inf. If this doesn't work, copy Sanyo_AutoRun.inf to the root ofthe flash disk and rename it to AutoRun_USB.inf

Wayteq (and, perhaps, other devices using Mobile Navigator): Create a "Mobilenavigator" folder in the root of the SD card,copy MioAutoRun.exe, MioAutoRun.mscr and MortScript.exe to that folder, then, rename MioAutoRun.exe toMobilenavigator.exe and MioAutoRun.mscr to Mobilenavigator.mscr

Generic/No-name Chinese devices: If the menu system has a navigation icon that can mapped to any executable, copyMioAutoRun.exe, MioAutoRun.mscr and MortScript.exe to the root of your SD card and map the icon to MioAutoRun.exe. If themenu system does not allow mapping any icons, then you may need to try SD-free installation (2.2b) below. Warning: Most ofthese Chinese devices do not revert Windows back to an unmodified condition when you perform a hard reset. You can still

Page 6: MioPocket 4.0

install MioPocket on these devices, but be aware that doing so carries a slightly higher risk.

Other devices: If your brand/model is not listed here, then you will either have to find out elsewhere if and how your device canbe unlocked or try SD-free installation (2.2b) below.

5) If you have the USB cable attached, disconnect it. While your device is on, insert your SD card into your device. If it's already in,pop it out and back in. Alternately, on some devices (such as Mio Digiwalkers), you may be able to initiate installation by tappingthe power button once and then, once the screen goes off, once again. On some Mio Moov devices, you may need to move theslider switch all the way to the right, then back to the fully left position, and other Moov devices require that you load up MioMap andwait for a GPS lock before exiting out and attempting installation. On Nextar devices, press the Navigator icon on the main menu.

6) After a few seconds, a menu should display. If it does not, perform a soft reset and see if that initiates installation. If your devicesimply freezes when you attempt installation, try re-formatting your SD card (using Extras\Win32\SD Formatter from the MioPocketzip, if possible) or using a different card. If re-formatting the device as FAT32 makes no difference, try re-formatting it as FAT.

7) Once the menu displays, choose "Run MioPocket" to begin installation of MioPocket. In the future, you can, via the same menu,choose to have the "Run MioPocket" option selected automatically after a certain number seconds or you can disable the menuentirely, in which case MioPocket will always install automatically.

8) Once the installation window displays, about 10 seconds will go by and your device will reboot to complete the installation. If noinstallation window appears with any of those suggestions, you may have renamed MioAutoRun.exe incorrectly. That's easy to dobecause some operating systems (especially Windows) hide common file extensions (like ".exe"). If the file was listed simply as"MioAutoRun" (without the ".exe"), then, when you rename the file, don't include the ".exe" either. If you are not sure, try removingthe ".exe" from the file, anyways, and try all of the above suggestions again.

9) MioPocket ought to be installed. Enjoy. If you have problems, check out the forums at GPSPassion (particularly the MioPocketthread in the Mio sub-forum). If you have a Navigon and 1) the device freezes when the microSD card and 2) USB no longer worksafter removing the card, do the following: remove the microSD card, allow the device to put to the Navigon menu, press the menu'spower button, wait for the device to fully shut down (not just dim the display), press and hold the hardware power button until you'reasked for a "factory reset" and accept it.

2.2b Method #2: Flash Disk (SD-Free) Installation:

Warning: SD-free installation involves modifying files on the flash drive. This can very easily render your device inoperable and behard (if not impossible) to undo. It is especially not recommended for newer Mio models, including the Moov and Spirit models.Only advanced users who really know what they're doing and welcome the risk should proceed. For everyone else, it is very highlyrecommended that you stick to SD installation to be safe.

Warning: Mio Moov & Spirit owners are advised to do SD installation, since its proven safe and SD-Free installation can brick yourdevice if you make the wrong changes. If you proceed with SD-Free installation, follow the instructions carefully and realize that,though they work for some people, they may not work for all.

Warning: Some obscure GPS devices (especially no-name Chinese GPS devices) do not revert Windows back to an unmodifiedcondition when you perform a hard reset. You can still install MioPocket on these devices, but be aware that doing so carries aslightly higher risk.

1) If you're running an earlier version of MioPocket or a different unlock, remove it and hard reset (or shutdown and power on) yourdevice. For MioPocket, there should be a link on your Settings page to remove it and the hard reset will be automatic.

2) Unzip the MioPocket zip file (if you haven't already) to your computer. Do NOT unzip it directly to your device or card, since thatoften produces errors or corrupt files. Note: if you happen to get any warnings about viruses, you can safely ignore them, as no onewrites viruses for Windows CE and any that are "found" are almost certainly false positives.

3) Free enough space on your flash drive. Here are some ideas:

a. You may delete either MioAutoRun\System\CE4 or CE5, depending on which OS version your device does not have. Forexample, if it is a CE 5.0 device, you may delete the CE4 folder. Deleting will free up 2-10MB. Note: CE6 devices use the CE5folder, so it should not be deleted on such devices.b. Delete MioAutoRun\Programs\Metro\all (or just the city files that you don't want) if you don't care about public transportrouting (trains, subways, etc.). Deleting all files will free up 11MB.c. Delete the entire MioAutoRun\Programs\Games folder if you have zero interest in any games. That'll free up over 13MB.d. Don't copy the included books or the sample video in the Media folder if you don't have any interest in them. Deleting themall will free up 10MB.e. If your navigation app has maps split across many different files, you can store some on your desktop computer or otherstorage device. Some navigation apps can even access maps on SD card in addition to the flash drive, so you might be able

to move them there and still use them. For example, with MioMap 3.x, create a MioMap folder on your SD card, create a Mapsfolder inside of that (so that the path looks like \Storage Card\MioMap\Maps) and then move maps there (from \My FlashDisk\MioMap\MioMap\Maps).

4) Choose either 4A (Option #1: Copy directly to flash drive) or 4B (Option #2: Copy via SD card) below...

4A) Option #1: Copy directly to flash drive

i) Copy the MioAutoRun and Media folders to the root (top level) of your Flash Disk (so that it looks like \MioAutoRun). If yourdevice is an older Mio and you can't access it over USB, you may need to download the MioTransfer utility from Mio's website(but be advised that getting MioPocket onto your device via MioTransfer is a hassle and you're highly advised to use Option #1above, instead). You do not need the MioAutoRun.* files (those are only for SD installation).

Sanyo devices: Also copy MioAutoRun.exe, MioAutoRun.mscr, MortScript.exe and Extras\Device-SpecificInstall\Sanyo_AutoRun_USB.inf to the root of the flash disk and rename Sanyo_AutoRun_USB.inf to AutoRun_USB.inf. Next,skip to Step 5. If it doesn't work, continue with the instructions immediately below.ii) Navigate to the directory of your device's original navigation application.

Example:* Mio Digiwalker: \My Flash Disk\MioMap\MioMap\* Mio Moov: \My Flash Disk\Program Files\MioMap\ or \My Flash Disk\Program Files\Navman\* Magellan: \HDD\APP\* Sanyo: \MyFlashDisk\MobileNavigator

iii) Perform the following...

* Mio Digiwalker: Rename MioMap.exe to MioMap_orig.exe and, if it exists, MioMap.exe.id to MioMap_orig.exe.id.* Mio Moov/Spirit: If MioMap.exe exists, rename it to MioMap_orig.exe. If SmartST_CE.exe exists, rename it toSmartST_CE_orig.exe. If neither exists, open AppStartupSec.ini, find the ProcessFile= line that points to either file andchange it to point to MioAutoRun.exe (ex. ProcessFile=MioAutoRun.exe). If you can't do any of this, do SD installation.Whatever you do, do NOT rename AppStartupSec.exe or edit paths.xml, as either will brick your device.* Magellan: Rename Navigator.exe to Navigator_orig.exe or Magellan_pna.exe to Magellan_pna_orig.exe (whicheverexists).* Sanyo: Rename MobileNavigator.exe to MobileNavigator_orig.exe* Other brands/models: Identify the main executable of your navigation software (or accompanying software, like a musicplayer, to be even safer), then rename it, appending "_orig" to the base name (ex. "Navigator.exe" to "Navigator_orig.exe").Note the warnings earlier in this section about how this can be dangerous on some devices. Know what you're doing. If indoubt, look online for others who have successfully unlocked the same or similar model to learn what may be safe.

iv) Copy MioAutoRun.exe, MioAutoRun.mscr and MortScript.exe to the above directory (step 4Bii), then renameMioAutoRun.exe to the original name of your navigation app and MioAutoRun.mscr to the same, minus the extension (ex.Navigator.mscr if the other file is now Navigator.exe).

Example:* Mio Digiwalker: Rename MioAutoRun.exe to MioMap.exe and MioAutoRun.mscr to MioMap.mscr. Also, if you renamed aMioMap.exe.id to MioMap_orig.exe.id above, copy Extras\Device-Specifc Install\MioMap.exe.id to the folder.* Mio Moov/Spirit: Rename MioAutoRun.exe and MioAutoRun.mscr to either MioMap.exe and MioMap.mscr orSmartST_CE.exe and SmartST_CE.mscr* Magellan: Rename MioAutoRun.exe to Navigator.exe and MioAutoRun.mscr to Navigator.mscr or, if Magellan_pna.exeoriginally existed instead of Navigator.exe, rename MioAutoRun.exe to Magellan_pna.exe and MioAutoRun.mscr toMagellan_pna.mscr* Sanyo: Rename MioAutoRun.exe to MobileNavigator.exe, and MioAutoRun.mscr to MobileNavigator.mscr

v) Skip to Step 5.

4B) Option #2: Copy via SD card

i) Follow steps 1-6 of SD installation above. If you previously tried SD installation and couldn't get it to work, you will likely not beable to do this step and, therefore, will have to go up to section 4A and do Option #1, instead.

ii) Scroll down to the bottom of the startup menu and choose "SDFree Installation (Copy via SD card)." You may be promptedto select your device's original navigation application. That executable will be renamed with "_orig" on the end (ex. MioMap.exeto MioMap_orig.exe) and a MioPocket file will be copied in its place so that, instead of the nav app running, MioPocket will run.Don't worry; this can be undone in the future. The original nav app is usually somewhere on the internal flash drive. Someexamples of the nav app executable to replace are:

* Mio Digiwalker models: \My Flash Disk\MioMap\MioMap\MioMap.exe* Mio Moov/Spirit models: \My Flash Disk\Program Files\MioMap\MioMap.exe (Warning: if no MioMap.exe exists, please doSD installation to avoid bricking your device)* Magellan models: \HDD\APP\Navigator.exe or \HDD\APP\magellan_pna.exe

converted by Web2PDFConvert.com

Page 8: MioPocket 4.0

* Sanyo: \MyFlashDisk\MobileNavigator\MobileNavigator.exe

iii) The copy operation will take several minutes, so leave it alone for a while. A message will appear once it's done. At thatpoint, you may freely remove the MioPocket files from your SD card.

iv) MioPocket is only copied to the flash drive. It now needs to be installed. Proceed to Step 5.

5) Run your navigation app in the same manner as you usually run it (i.e. usually by pressing an icon on the device's factory menuor, if no menu exists, resetting the device). If you chose the right nav app executable in the previous steps, a menu will pop up,asking you whether you want to run your original navigation app or MioPocket.

6) Choose "Run MioPocket" from the menu. In the future, you can, via the same menu, choose to have the "Run MioPocket" optionselected automatically after a certain number seconds or you can disable the menu entirely, in which case MioPocket will alwaysinstall automatically. It might be a good idea to NOT disable the menu, though, as you might, at some point, want to use youroriginal nav app without MioPocket affecting it in any way. A short timeout of 5 seconds before "Run MioPocket" is chosen mightbe a better option.

7) An installation window should appear. Once installation has started, wait for it to finish and your device will reboot to completethe installation.

8) MioPocket ought to be installed. Enjoy. If you have problems, check out the forums at GPSPassion (particularly the MioPocketthread in the Mio sub-forum).

3.0 Using MioPocket

3.1 Minimizing and task switchingTo minimize or switch between application windows, use the right-hand icon on the MiniBar (in the lower-right corner) to bring upthe MiniMenu. Choose "Hide All Windows" to minimize all applications or "Switch Windows" to cycle between them.

3.2 Remotely controlling the deviceTo control your device from your Windows desktop, connect via USB in ActiveSync mode, then run Extras\Win32\RemoteDisplay\ASRDisp.exe (in the MioPocket zip) from your Windows desktop. The error message is normal; click OK. Tip: it's a littleless sluggish if you copy this executable to your Windows desktop before running it (rather than running it directly over the USBconnection). If you would like a faster, more powerful application for doing the same thing, try the free EveryWAN Remote SupportPersonal Edition at http://www.sparus-software.com.

3.3 Remotely accessing the registryTo access your device's registry from your Windows desktop, connect via USB in ActiveSync mode, then Extras\Win32\MobileRegistry Editor\MobileRegistryEditor.exe (in the MioPocket zip).

3.4 Taking screenshotsYou have two options for taking screenshots:1) Use Remote Display Control (3.2 above) and press Alt+PrintScrn to copy the window to the clipboard. Open up a paintprogram, create a new image and press Ctrl+V to paste the screenshot. This is the simpler method, assuming that you have aWindows PC nearby.2) Run the included screen capture utility, either from the link on the Tools page and in the start menu or by directly running\MioAutoRun\Programs\vSnap.exe.

3.5 Using PocketGPSPocketGPS can use bitmap images calibrated with coordinates to provide visual location finding. For example, you can, with a bitof effort, create a map from aerial photographs of your favorite hiking location. PocketGPS is compatible with TrekBuddy andOSM maps, so look for sites that can save to those formats. One such site, an excellent one, will convert Google Maps for you:http://gm2tb.awokenmind.de. Choose your map, set the name, then click on the "Download map" button. Save the generated .tarfile to MioAutoRun\Programs\PocketGPS-Map\Atlas and you'll be able to load it in PocketGPS. You can create maps from yourown images using the PocketGPS author's own MapCalibrator program: http://www.andree.sk/projects-mapcalibrator-en. Fordetails on how to tile your maps, see the PocketGPS tutorial in MioAutoRun\Programs\PocketGPS-Map\Tutorial or the wiki athttp://pocketgpsmap.wiki.sourceforge.net/. Finally, you can use .gpx/.loc waypoint files bycopying them toMioAutoRun\Programs\PocketGPS-Map\Waypoints.

3.6 Using BeeLineGPSFor information on how to use BeeLineGPS, see the manual located in Media\Books. If you would like to read it from your GPSdevice, use uBook on the Multimedia page and, if you copied the Media folder to your device/card, the BeeLineGPS manualshould be listed in uBook's "Books" section.

Page 9: MioPocket 4.0

3.7 Accessing the device's original menusSome devices (like pre-Moov Mios) come with a simple menu system and, often, it's the only place where you can configurecertain features (like the backlight and Bluetooth, for example)... or you may just want to access any apps and utilities that camewith your device. The "Device Menu" and "Device Settings" icons on the Settings page in MioPocket can be used to access thosemenus and will be automatically setup if a known menu is detected. If your device has a menu and MioPocket did not detect it,then, after you click OK on the error message, browse for and select the executable that displays the menu. Note that many GPSdevices, such as Mio Moovs, do not come with a menu and, thus, these icons may be of little use (unless you set them to runsomething else, instead).

3.8 WiFi SDIO cardsMioPocket includes the DLLs and registry files for the Ambeon WL54C-SD card and the Spectec SDW-820 and SDW-821 WiFicards, but support isn't enabled by default (because the registry settings conflict). To enable one, find the registry file for your cardin the MioAutoRun\Registry\Exclude folder and move it to MioAutoRun\Registry\Custom. If you have a WiFi card from anothermanufacturer or with a different model name, try each of the included registry files to see if they work before resorting to installingthe software that came with your model. According to one report, the Pluscom SDIO-54 card works with the Ambeon registry file.Once you have copied a registry file and if you have already installed MioPocket, either hard reset and re-install it or double-clickthe file from the device and soft reset to activate the change.

3.9 Adding media (books, movies, etc.)With the inclusion of the Media folder (which sits alongside the MioAutoRun folder), you can now put all of your media in one placeand expect most of the MioPocket multimedia apps to open to it by default. For example, place your e-books into Media\Booksand the appropriate book reader(s) in MioPocket will find them; place your movies in Media\Video and music in Media\Music andthey'll be easy to find with Media Player; and place your pictures into Media\Pictures and XnView will open to them upon loading.

Books in .txt or .htm format can be zipped up to dramatically reduce their file size. uBook will extract them on-the-fly when viewing.Many popular, non-copyrighted books from Project Gutenberg have been included with MioPocket in the Media folder. The ProjectGutenberg website (http://www.gutenberg.org/) has over 25,000 free books for download. They're in the public domain and freebecause they were first published before the copyright laws of the early 20th century. Project Gutenberg, therefore, is an excellentresource for classical literature, such as the novels of Charles Dickens, Jules Verne, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Lewis Carroll, aswell as historical and religious texts.

MioPocket's Media Player can play many popular formats (MP4, WMV, DivX, XVid, etc.), but I've found that the MP4 format with abitrate of 500-1000Kb/s works the best in terms of size and quality in Media Player. One small sample video has been included inthe Media folder for your testing. An excellent, free video converter which runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux is Handbrake. Youcan download Handbrake at http://handbrake.fr/?article=download. Another free video converter for Windows is Prism, by NCHSoftware. You can download Prism at http://www.nchsoftware.com/prism/

3.10 Setting the alarm clock appHere are the steps for setting an alarm:1) Click on the "Alarm" icon on the Tools page (or manually run MioAutoRun\Programs\Clock.exe).2) If the time is incorrect, exit and load up MioMap and wait for GPS lock. Your system time should be corrected. Alternately, youcould manually set the time via the Date/Time applet in Control Panel.3) Re-launch the alarm clock app and verify that the time is now correct.4) Click on the little red clock button on the toolbar.5) Put a check into the "Alarm On" checkbox and set the time of day, recurrance and length options that you want. You can click onthe Sound button to test alarm sound and adjust the volume level. Once done, click on the Ok button.6) Leave the app running, either in the foreground or in the background (after using the minimize button on the MiniBar). Do NOTclose the app! It must stay running.7) If you decide to turn the display off, use the "Standby (Display Off)" option in MioPocket's power menu. Do NOT press your unit'shardware button! If you do, the alarm app will not be able to wake up the unit. It WILL wake it up if you use the Standby option inMioPocket's power menu.

Tip: I recommend testing all of this on your device once before setting the alarm for good (so that you don't get yourself in troubleand blame these instructions).

3.11 Playing music with the display offHere are the steps for playing music with the display off:1) Make sure that you have the MiniBar running. If you don't, click on the icon in the lower-right corner to run it. If you are using askin without that icon, click on "MP Settings" on the Settings page, choose "Enable MiniBar on startup", then soft reset yourdevice.2) Load up the media player that you wish to use, then select and play the music that you want.3) Hide/minimize the media player via the MiniBar (see section 3.1 above) or, if using Nitrogen, via the built-in minimize button.Your music continuing to play.4) Press the Close/Power button in MioPocket and choose "Display Off". The screen will go dark with your music continuing to

play.5) When you're ready to return to MioPocket, tap the upper-right corner of the screen.

3.12 Synchronizing contacts and calendars with OutlookIn order to sync contacts and calendars between your GPS device and your PC, you must be using Microsoft Outlook on aWindows PC. Also, you must be using the applications in MioPocket titled "Contacts", "Calendar" and "Tasks"; the other, similarapplications do not support syncing.

First, install Extras\Win32\cePIMS (Outlook Synchronization)\cePIMS_eva021009.exe (from the MioPocket zip) on your PC (noton your GPS device). This will install the controls to allow Outlook to sync with the three applications in MioPocket. Once installed,connect your device to your PC and either Windows Mobile Device Center (in Vista and Windows 7) or ActiveSync (in XP) oughtto load. If it does not load, find and launch it manually. In WMDC/ActiveSync, enable synchronization of "TeAce-Contacts", "TeAce-Calendar" and "TeAce-Tasks" with your device. Once done, initiate a sync and then check "Contacts", "Calendar" and "Tasks" onMioPocket's Productivity/Office page to verify that your Outlook data made it onto your device.

3.13 USB modesMost devices, by default, connect through USB to a computer in "Mass Storage" mode. Usually, this means that you end up with adrive for the internal flash drive and a drive for the SD card, both of which look and act like hard drives. MioPocket can alsoconfigure the device to connect in ActiveSync mode, a Windows-only mode that allows for more than just copying and deletingfiles. For example, with ActiveSync, you can synchronize files/folders/contacts/e-mails between your desktop and your device,remote control the device from your desktop, access the device registry from your desktop and more. In ActiveSync mode, thedevice appears as a single entity (usually with the name or manufacturer of the device) in the drive listing, and double-clicking on itgives you access to the flash drive and SD card.

If you have Windows and don't see your device in the drive listing while in ActiveSync mode, download and install one of thefollowing packages from Microsoft, depending on your version of Windows:

XP: ActiveSync 4.5Vista/7: Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1

If you are not using Windows, then you will most likely have to switch the mode to Mass Storage mode. Use the "USB Mode" iconon the Settings page in MioPocket to do that. You will have to do that only once. Finally, on applicable Mio devices, there may be a"Moov mode" or "Mio Transfer mode" option in the USB Mode menu. If either appear for you, then you may have to use that to getUSB connectivity.

3.14 Using Virtual Earth Mobile and Live SearchVirtual Earth Mobile and Live Search use GPS to determine your position, but need to download their maps from Microsoft overthe internet. If you don't have a WiFi card, you will need to use ActiveSync. Confirm via the "USB Mode" menu on the Settings pagethat the device is in ActiveSync mode. Connect your device to your computer and, if using Vista/7 and the green Windows MobileDevice Center window appears, choose "Connect without setting up your device." Simply closing the window without choosinganything will not provide the device (and any apps on it) with an internet connection.

Next, run Virtual Earth Mobile or Live Search and go to Menu->Options/Settings to configure your GPS COM port and/or baudrate.After that, wait a little bit, then go to Menu->Locate Me->GPS (Virtual Earth Mobile) or Map->Menu->Center on GPS (Live Search).If it gives you an error, wait a little bit longer and try again. Though it may not appear to be doing anything, it is trying to get asatellite lock and, like other GPS apps, that takes time (ex. 30 seconds to several minutes). If it still gives the error after severalminutes of waiting, consider that you may have chosen incorrect COM port and baudrate settings.

Once the app has downloaded a map, as long as there's room in the cache, the map will be available for offline use. From Menu->Options/Settings, you can increase the map cache size in order to keep more of the maps that you download. You can alsochange the cache location to the SD card (which you may want to do if you substantially increase the cache size).

3.15 Jerry's 480x272 MioMap 3.3 skinFor Mio Digiwalkers with 480x272 displays and running MioMap 3.3 (mainly the Mio c320, c520 and c720), Jerry's skin(http://miopassion.com) opens up a lot of functionality to MioMap. One of the features is his "StopWord panel", a floating toolbar oflinks to external applications, made for a pre-MioPocket unlock designed by Stopword. MioPocket comes with an override (a formof patch) to point these links to MioPocket's applications, instead.

To apply the override...1. Make sure that you're using Jerry's MioMap skin and that it's installed as data.zip in your MioMap folder. If you simply copied it toa \Skin folder, then you'll need to move it out and name it as data.zip in the MioMap folder, since you can't have more than one datazip file in the \Skin folder.2. If you used the override from an earlier MioPocket release, remove it.3. Install MioPocket. Installation will change paths in the override files to match your installation directory.4. Go to MioPocket's Navigation page, choose "MioMap Manager", then "Skin Manager", and, finally, "Load new override". If allgoes well, you should see "Override_Jerry_MioPocket" listed. Select it to apply the override to your MioMap. If you do NOT see"Override_Jerry_MioPocket listed, jump down below to Step 4a.

converted by Web2PDFConvert.com

Page 11: MioPocket 4.0

5. Load up MioMap, go into the menu, find "My MioMap" and cycle through the options for "Extra button" (in the lower-left corner)until you get to "StopWord Panel". Return to the map screen and you should see a green orb with the Windows logo on it in thelower left. Pressing that will open the panel that now has icons correctly pointing to MioPocket programs and scripts. You are nowdone.

The following is ONLY for if "Override_Jerry_MioPocket" is NOT listed in Skin Manager.4a. Go to "MioAutoRun\Programs\Device-Specific\Mio\Digiwalker480x272\Override for Jerry's skin" and zip up the two folders(\common and \mio) inside.4b. Copy the zip to a "Skin" folder under your MioMap folder (ex. \My Flash Disk\MioMap\MioMap\Skin). If the "Skin" folder doesnot exist, create it. Proceed to Step 5 above.

For any other issues, please head over to the Mio forum at http://www.gpspassion.com, look for a thread on MioPocket and askthere.

4.0 Modifying MioPocket

4.1 Editing navigation app pathsNavigation app icons (such as those for iGO, MioMap, Magellan, etc.) in MioPocket come pre-set to scripts that close MioPocketcomponents (to free memory) before they launch the nav apps. If a script cannot find the app when you press its icon, it will promptyou to find the correct path. Once you choose a path, if you need to change it again, click on "MP Settings" on the Settings page,enter the "General" sub-menu and choose "Edit navigation paths." If you're not going to use the nav app icon provided and chooseto create or modify a different icon, it's recommended that you point the icon to the correct MioAutoRun\Scripts\*Launcher.mscrscript (if it exists) for the nav app that you're trying to run. For example, if you're going to run iGO, point the icon toMioAutoRun\Scripts\iGOLauncher.mscr. You don't *need* to point your icon to one of those scripts--the app will run regardless--butusing the script frees up a bit more memory, as well as sometimes does a few other things to help the specific nav app run better.

4.2 Editing iconsTo add an icon: Tap and hold on an empty area of the screen and choose "Add Icon" from the menu that appears.To edit an icon: Tap and hold on an icon until the menu appears and choose "Edit Icon" from the menu.To delete an icon: Tap and hold on an icon until the menu appears and choose "Delete Icon" from the menu.To move an icon: Tap and hold on an icon and choose "Move Icon" from the menu. Next, tap and hold on the icon that is in thespace where you want to move the other and choose "Move Here" from the menu.To copy an icon: Tap and hold on an icon and choose "Copy Icon" from the menu. Next, tap and hold on the icon that is in the spacewhere you want to copy the other and choose "Copy Here" from the menu.

For much more guidance with configuring icons and the rest of the shell, please see the FAQ for iPhoneToday at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542727

4.3 Installing applicationsSince MioPocket runs on Windows CE, you will need to download applications that run on Windows CE, as well.

Here are some things to look for when downloading apps:* The app must be compiled for ARM processors. Don't waste your time with Mips or SH3 applications. If the processor isn't listed,then it's most likely for ARM.* Apps supporting "CE" (often listed as "CE 2.x"/"CE 3.x"/"CE 4.x"/"CE 5") or "HPC"/"Handheld PC" have the best chance ofworking.* Apps supporting "Pocket PC 2000/2002/2003" (PPC) or "Windows Mobile 5" ("WM5") have a fairly good chance of working (aslong as they have the required DLLs), but there may be some odd display behavior (like menu bar issues and dialog boxes withoptions off of the screen).* Apps supporting Smartphone will probably not work.* Apps that have anything to do with the "Today" screen will likely not work (since these devices don't have Today screens).

CE/PPC/WM apps typically come packaged in one of two ways: as .cab files and as .exe files. To install an app with a .cabextension, copy the file to your device and then either press the "CAB Install" icon on the Tools page or double-click on the file in afile browser (such as FileMan). Files with .exe extensions are usually ActiveSync installers. To install those, ensure that you are inActiveSync USB mode and that you are able to make an ActiveSync connection (see section 3.14 above), then double-click onthem from your Windows desktop computer (they cannot be run from the device). ActiveSync will present an installer similar tomost Windows apps, but will install the app to your device.

After initiating installation (of either type of install package), you will be prompted, on your device, to choose an installationdirectory. The directory that it will present to you will be "default location" or \Program Files (which are the same thing in this case),but do not install your app there. The internal drive that \Program Files is on does not have much free space at all and, worse, anyfiles written there will be lost upon reset. Instead, go up a directory and select either your SD card or your flash drive, which willappear as a folder (ex. \Storage Card). My recommendation is to create a "Program Files" directory on the SD card (ex. \StorageCard\Program Files) and install there.

Once the app is installed, check to make sure that it works (see section 5.8, below, if it doesn't) and configure it the way that you

converted by Web2PDFConvert.com

Page 12: MioPocket 4.0

want it. Next, go to the Settings page and click on the Backup Registry button. Parts of the registry will be backed up toMioAutoRun\Registry\Custom\RegistryBackup.reg so that your application's registry settings will be automatically imported duringMioPocket installation. Finally, you may want to check \Windows to see if the application put any files there. If it did, copy those toMioAutoRun\Windows\Windows so that they're always copied to \Windows during MioPocket installation.

If a .CAB file will not install for you (and you can't find an alternate version of the app that will), try runningMioAutoRun\System\wceloadext.exe and turning off all checks, then installing the .CAB file again. If even that doesn't help, runExtras\Win32\MSCEInf (CAB Extractor)\MSCEInf.exe from the extracted MioPocket zip and on a Windows computer to extract allof the files contained in the .CAB file. Once extracted, copy them to a folder on your device and run the main .exe file. If, forwhatever reason, MSCEInf isn't usable, you will need to extract and rename the files manually. Use a zip program (like 7zip) toextract the files from the .CAB file. One of the extracted files ought to be a _setup.xml file (or similar). Open that file in a text editorand you'll find information for what the rest of the files should be renamed to. They'll be in pairs. For example, if you see"SetupProgram.exe" and, a few lines below that, "SETUPP~1.001"... then, you'll want to rename the extracted SETUPP~1.001 toSetupProgram.exe. Sometimes, files will need to be moved to sub-folders, in which case one of the nearby lines will specifywhere. Once you've renamed (and moved) as many files as you can, copy the files to your device and run the main .exe file.

4.4 Adding registry filesYou can easily add your own personal registry files to MioPocket. First, make sure that your registry file is saved in ANSI (notUnicode) character encoding (or else you'll get "Syntax error" messages during installation and the files will not import). Registryfiles exported from TRE Regedit (on MioPocket's Settings page) are fine unless they've been opened in a text editor andaccidentally re-saved in Unicode. Windows Notepad's "Save As" dialog is one way to check a file's encoding and re-save it withanother. Next, copy the registy file to the MioAutoRun\Registry\Custom folder. MioPocket will automatically import any registry filesin that folder when it installs. By keeping your personal files in Registry\Custom (instead of just Registry), it's easier to keep track ofthem and port them from one release of MioPocket to another.

4.5 Excluding registry filesYou can exclude registry files from being automatically imported during installation by moving them to the\MioAutoRun\Registry\Exclude folder. MioPocket will not import any registry files in that folder when it installs. Of course, by movingit there instead of deleting it, you leave it available in case you choose to move it back.

4.6 Setting your time zoneTo configure your time zone, click on "MP Settings" on the Settings page and choose "Set time zone" from the menu. MioPocketcomes with some of the more common time zones where Mio devices are sold (NA, EU and AU). Choose a time zone and, fromnow on, MioPocket will install using that time zone. If your time zone is not in the list, select "My time zone is not on the list" and youwill be allowed to set it via the Control Panel applet. Whether you select one from the list or not on the list, the setting will be savedpermanently (i.e. you won't have to re-set it each time you install MioPocket).

4.7 Disabling the MiniBarTo disable the MiniBar temporarily, click on the right-most icon on the MiniBar to bring up a menu. You can hide the MiniBar for 20seconds (just long enough for you to see and use anything that the MiniBar may've hidden) with the "Hide MiniBar 20s" option or,with the "toggle MiniBar" option, hide it until you decide to show it again. To disable it permanently (so that it doesn't display duringstartup), go to "MioPocket Settings" on the Settings page and choose "MiniBar->Disable MiniBar on startup" from the menu.

4.8 Configuring the quick launch buttonThe quick launch button is a circular button in the upper-left corner of most Windows 7, Vista and Stopword skins. It's intended tobe assigned to your navigation app of choice so that it may be accessed from any page with one click, but may be assigned to anyapp. To configure the button, simply click on it and a menu will appear. After it is configured, if you choose to change it, click on"MioPocket Settings" on the Settings page, then choose "Skin->Set quick launch button" from the menu. Note: This option willexist in the menu only if you're using a skin which provides the button.

4.9 Enabling/disabling the startup menuThe startup menu is the menu that, by default, displays when you attempt to start MioPocket when it is not installed. It includes a"Run MioPocket" entry and either "Exit" or "Run " for SD or SDFree installation, respectively. Also on the menu are options to set adefault (the menu entry that will be highlighted when the menu is shown), set a timeout (how many seconds until the default isautomatically chosen) and disable the menu entirely. If you disable it, it will no longer be shown and MioPocket will always beinstalled/run. To reverse your decision, you will need to go into "MP Settings" on the Settings page, then the "General" sub-menuand choose "Enable startup menu." Instead of disabling the startup menu (especially when it comes to SDFree installation), itmight be better to set a timeout of 5 seconds or so.

4.10 Enabling alternate keyboardsMioPocket comes with many different keyboards to choose from. Most rely on the software input panel (SIP) architecture ofWindows CE. You can easily switch between SIP keyboards by pressing the "Select Keyboard" option on the MiniBar's menu.That will display a list of all SIP keyboards available on the system. Select one to switch to it and display it. If SIP keyboards don'twork on your device or you just prefer it, go into MioPocket Settings, into the "MiniBar" submenu, select the "Set MiniBar

Page 13: MioPocket 4.0

keyboard" entry and then select "JOTKBD/Full Keyboard." The MiniBar keyboard icon will now run JOTKBD. If you have your ownnon-SIP keyboard that you have installed and with to use with the MiniBar keyboard icon, choose "Other" from the "Set MiniBarkeyboard" sub-menu.

If you would like to add a keyboard which happens to be SIP-based, put the .dll file for the keyboard in MioAutoRun\System andrename it to Keyboard-.dll, where is the name is whatever you want to call it (usually the language name). Next, go toMioAutoRun\Registry\Exclude and make a copy of one of the Keyboard-*.reg files, renaming it to Keyboard-.reg, where is thesame as you used for the .dll. Then, open that .reg file in a text editor and change the display name (ex. "Hungarian Keyboard") towhatever you want and both .dll references to be the .dll name that you came up with earlier. All of this naming is important for theselection menu to automatically know detect and use the files. Finally, go to MioPocket Settings->System->Install KeyboardLanguage and, if you followed all of these instructions exactly, the keyboard that you want to add will be there.

4.11 Adding fontsTo add your own fonts, simply copy them to \MioAutoRun\Windows\Fonts and soft reset MioPocket.

4.12 Configuring automatic registry backupBy default, MioPocket backs up the registry every 10 minutes. If you wish to disable this feature, go into MioPocket Settings andchoose "System->Manage Registry Backup->Disable Registry Backup." In the "Manage Registry Backup" sub-menu, you canalso delete the backup file (so that the previously-saved registry settings are no longer imported), if you wish to do so.

4.13 Freeing up memory/RAM for appsIf you need to free up memory for running apps (esp. iGO), there are a few thing that you can do. If it's a navigation app that you'reusing, the best thing is to go into MioPocket Settings ("General" sub-menu) and ensure that "Keep MioPocket open during navapps" is displayed (meaning that, the opposite, is currently the case). If "Close MioPocket during nav apps" is displayed, press itto change it. That will close MioPocket's shell before the nav app is run and then re-run the shell when the nav app closes. That willfree up about 3MB of memory. Another thing that you can do is to go into MioPocket Settings and configure "Set CE wallpaper" to"No wallpaper." That will save about 1MB of memory by not loading the grey, Windows logo wallpaper on the CE desktop (behindMioPocket). Normally, you won't see the wallpaper except when the system is booting up, so you're not losing much. Finally, if it's anavigation app (esp. iGO) that you're running, see section 4.1 above to set your icon to use one of the included scripts.

4.14 Changing languages and localesTo set the language that MioPocket uses for MioPocket Settings and some other menus and messages, use the "System->Setlanguage" option in MioPocket Settings (on the Settings page). If the language that you want does not exist, see the top ofMioAutoRun\Scripts\MioPocketLanguage-English.mscr for instructions on translating to another languae. After choosing alanguage from the "Set language" menu, Windows CE's Regional Settings applet will launch so that you can pick a locale, whichwill tell CE what to use for date/time format, currency and so on. If the locale that you need is not listed, seeExtras\Patches\Language Locales in the MioPocket zip to add a locale.

If Windows CE (the start menu, program menus, Control Panel, etc.) is in a language other than English and you wish to convert itto English, see Extras\Patches\English MUI\Readme.txt in the MioPocket zip.

Some languages (Croatian, Czech, Cyrillic, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Serbian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese) have SIPkeyboards available in MioPocket. To install them, see MioPocket Settings->System->Install Keyboard Language. To add adifferent SIP keyboard that you have, see the second paragraph of section 4.10 ("Enabling alternate keyboards") above.

The Total Commander file manager supports and includes many languages. Choose Show->About/Settings to set one.

5.0 Issues with MioPocket

5.1 I get "There is no application associated with ''" when trying to install MioPocketThis error relates to MioAutoRun.exe, MioAutoRun.mscr and MortScript.exe. It indicates that MioAutoRun.exe (or whatever you hadto rename it to) successfully ran, but that one of the other two files is missing in the same folder. You either did not copyMortScript.exe to the folder, did not copy MioAutoRun.mscr or did not rename MioAutoRun.mscr correctly. Regarding the last one,ensure that MioAutoRun.mscr is renamed exactly according to how MioAutoRun.exe was renamed, i.e. the same except for theextension on the end (ex. MioMap.exe/MioMap.mscr, Destinator.exe/Destinator.mscr, etc.).

5.2 My device hangs while installing or running MioPocketFreezes are often the result of corrupt files. First, try re-downloading, re-unzipping and re-copying the MioAutoRun folder to yourdrive/card (make sure to not unzip directly to the drive/card). If that fails to solve it and you're installing from SD card, try re-formating the drive/card with Extras\Win32\SD Formatter (in the MioPocket zip) and put MioPocket back on it.

If the problem is not corrupt files, then check the log files in MioAutoRun\Backup. InstallLog.txt contains the log for the lastinstallation and StartupLog.txt contains the log for the last startup (i.e. everything after installation completes). If the files don't endwith "Installation Complete" or "Startup Complete," then the last line listed indicates roughly where the problem occurred. You canthen look at the filename at the start of the line, open that file from MioAutoRun\Scripts and search for the log message. The

Page 14: MioPocket 4.0

problem will have occurred after that log message and before the next similar log message. You could try either putting # signs infront of some (or all, though that could be overkill) of those lines or duplicate the log message line on new lines to narrow down theproblem further.

5.3 Many icons return "Cannot find .mscr"This means that script files have not been associated with MortScript, the scripting engine. You can solve this quickly by runningMortScript.exe, but the real problem is that MioPocket did not install completely. You will likely come across other issues unless youresolve the real problem. Try re-copying and re-installing MioPocket, following the instructions in this Readme very closely, and payattention to any error messages that appear for clues as to what the problem is.

5.4 I frequently have to re-install MioPocketOn most GPS devices, the Windows "drive" exists only in memory and is re-loaded from read-only memory (ROM) after every hardreset and shutdown. This means that any unlock, not just MioPocket, will lose all of the registry settings that are required for it to beinstalled (essentially, "uninstalling" it). You, therefore, will want to keep the number of hard resets and shutdowns to a minimum sothat the need for re-installation is kept to a minimum, as well. Utilize "Standby (display off)" mode as much as possible instead ofcompletely powering the unit down. I have found that Standby uses roughly about 6% of a typical battery per 24 hours, so it'spractical to use most of the time unless you know that you won't be operating the device for a week or more.

5.5 MioPocket crashes when I click on the screen after returning from a long standbyIf you installed to an SD card, you need to give the device time to initialize the card. This takes 5-8 seconds. Give it such timebefore touching the screen. For times when you forget and it does crash, simply double-click on the "MioPocket" icon on thedesktop to re-launch it.

5.6 I can't use my device while connected to USB or while chargingUsing the device while connected is possible only when using USB ActiveSync mode. If you are using USB Mass Storage mode,click on the USB icon on MioPocket's Settings page to switch, then connect your device again.

5.7 Explorer doesn't workClick on "MioPocket Settings" on the Settings page and choose "Edit Explorer path" from the menu. On the "Edit Explorer path"sub-menu, press OK to select the default action (the highlighted option will automatically be the Explorer that is NOT currently beingused). See if Explorer works now. If it does not, then, unfortunately, neither the explorer.exe on your device (if it exists) nor the onethat comes with MioPocket will work on your device. You will have to try searching online for a different explorer.exe, then use thethird option in the "Edit Explorer path" sub-menu to have your Explorer icons use it.

5.8 The date and time are wrong when I use apps like Alarm and AppointmentsThe date and time need to be synchronized before they'll be correct. Load up MioMap, BeeLineGPS, PocketGPS or other similarGPS software and wait for GPS lock. Exit out and your date and time should be correct. If you want to go further and ensure thatthey won't always be lost when you hard reset your device, go into "MP Settings" on the Settings page and choose "enable timesync during install". It will run a test and ask you to confirm that you want it to sync time during MioPocket installation. If you'rewondering why we have to load up some other GPS app before the time sync utility, it's because the time sync utility does notactually sync with the satellites; it just retrieves the time kept by the GPS chip in your device (and which is updated only when a realGPS app is used).

5.9 I get errors when I try to run an application that I installed/addedFirst, verify that you have downloaded a compatible app by reading the checklist under section "4.3 Installation applications"above. Next, use EXE Check (on MioPocket's Tools page) to check the app's dependencies. EXE Check will return a list of theDLLs that the app needs. Check for the presence of those DLLs in \Windows, MioAutoRun\System and MioAutoRun\System\CE*.Those that you can't find in any of those locations, you will have to look for (probably online). Once you find them, put them intoMioAutoRun\System and try running your app again. If it still complains about missing components, try using EXE Check on eachof the DLLs that the app needs (since DLLs have their own dependencies). Note that, even with all of the required DLLs, you can'tmake every app work. A lot are just hopeless on these devices. In fact, I'd say that there are probably more "Pocket PC" apps outthere that can't be made to work on these devices than can be. If the app has its required DLLs and still doesn't work, then I wouldgive up (and usually do). See, instead, if you can find a differently compiled version of the app to download (it's common for appsto be available for multiple platforms), an older version of the app or a different app with similar features.

5.10 My original nav app won't work after uninstalling MioPocketBrowse to the nav app's folder and check for the existence of the nav app's main executable ending with "_orig.exe". If it exists,rename it, removing the "_orig" (ex. "MioMap_orig.exe" to "MioMap.exe), overwriting if necessary. If a file ending in "_orig.exe.id"exists (particularly for Mio Digiwalker models), do the same thing (ex. "MioMap_orig.exe.id" to "MioMap.exe.id").

5.11 My device is stuck in an endless reboot cycle!This can happen on certain devices if the following three conditions are all met:

converted by Web2PDFConvert.com

Page 15: MioPocket 4.0

1) Your device boots directly into MioMap (instead of to a menu)...2) You installed MioPocket to the flash drive (SD-free), AND...3) You disabled the startup menu that has you choose "Run MioMap" or "Run MioPocket."

Under that combination of conditions, your device may get stuck in an endless reboot cycle that you're unable to interrupt. What youneed to do is let the device sit for awhile and do its rebooting. MioPocket has been configured to re-enable the startup menu after25 straight resets, which will break any such cycle.

5.12 The keyboard button returns an errorThis indicates that your device cannot run the SIP-based CE keyboard. Click on "MP Settings" on the Settings page, choose the"MiniBar" sub-menu and choose "Set MiniBar keyboard." Set it to "JOTKBD\Full Keyboard" to use a non-SIP keyboard that'sincluded in MioPocket. If you have your own keyboard that you would like to use, choose "Other" to assign it.

5.13 My touchscreen has stopped working!This can happen on certain devices when you enable Transcriber or JOTKBD. On most devices, changing[Unlock]\InstallTranscriberDriver to 0 in MioPocket.ini and then performing a a hard reset or shutdown of your device will undoeverything. Try holding down your power button for up to 10 seconds, waiting a few seconds, then holding it down again. IfMioPocket is still installed (or that doesn't work), connect your device to USB. If it successfully connects and you last left it set toActiveSync mode (MioPocket's default), then, from a Windows computer, run Extras\Win32\Remote Display\ASRDisp.exe (in theMioPocket zip). Are you able to use the device that way? If so, run one of MioPocket's file managers and skip the next paragraphbefore continuing reading.

If, for whatever reason, you are not able to use ASRDisp.exe to remote control your device, create a folder named 2577 on an SDcard, copy the contents of MioAutoRun\Programs\FileManCE2 (from the MioPocket zip) to that folder, then renameFileManCE.exe to autorun.exe. Insert the card into your device and the file manager that you just copied to the folder should run.

From the file manager (that you ran through ASRDisp.exe or that autoran for you from the card), navigate toMioAutoRun\Scripts\UninstallKeyboardDriver.mscr and run it. Next, run MioAutoRun\Programs\Reset.exe or Restart.exe. If, afterreset, MioPocket is still installed and the touchscreen still doesn't work, use the file manager to runMioAutoRun\Registry\Exclude\OriginalKeyboardDriver.reg and MioAutoRun\Registry\Exclude\TouchscreenBackup.reg (one ofwhich contains your old keyboard/touchscreen driver settings). Repeat the reset. If even that doesn't work (or the files don't exist oryou can't choose Yes to the prompt), run MioAutoRun\Programs\TroNik\TouchScreenFix.exe and reset.

If none of the above work and you have file access to your MioPocket installation (either through USB or, if installed to SD card, byremoving the card and putting it in a card reader), here are some more things to try:* Find the executable that you originally launched MioPocket from (either MioAutoRun.exe or Miomap.exe before you renamedthem) and copy MioAutoRun\Programs\TroNik\TouchScreenFix.exe in its place, renaming it to the appropriate name.* Open up MioAutoRun\MioPocket.ini, find "InstallTransciberDriver" and set it to 0.* Open up MioAutoRun\Scripts\StartupPrograms.mscr, scroll down to the bottom and move the "Call("TestTouchScreen")" line tobelow the "EndIf" line.* If you can connect in ActiveSync mode (but, obviously, can't use the aforementioned ASRDisp.exe to control your device), then,from a Windows computer, run Mobile Registry Editor from the Extras\Win32\Mobile Registry Editor folder. If that connects, thenmanually edit the registry back to the settings that you find in the OriginalKeyboardDriver.reg file mentioned above.

After each of the suggestions immediately above, try to hard reset your device and re-install MioPocket. Admittedly, this may beeasier said than done without use of the touchscreen. Just keep in mind that, often, you can reset by holding the power buttondown/off for up to 10 seconds and, with SD installations, MioPocket can often be re-installed by inserting the SD card or tappingthe power button off, then on again. If you have done an SDfree installation, try putting MioPocket on an SD card and performing anSD installation via the instructions in this Readme or elsewhere online.

If you are unable to complete any of the above suggestions and your touchscreen still won't work, post a request for help in theofficial support thread at http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=136798

5.14 Some of my hardware buttons don't workNearly all devices have, on their exteriors, a power button, and some have other buttons which control things like the volume, acamera and so on. These can sometimes stop functioning when you install MioPocket. That is because, in most cases, they arehandled by a program that came pre-loaded on your device. Read the instructions written inMioAutoRun\Programs\TroNik\PowerButton.ini and modify that file accordingly. If there is no change, go into "MioPocket Settings"on the Settings page and ensure that the "PowerButton on startup" option is enabled (the option will say "Enable PowerButton" if itis not).

Sometimes, the buttons are handled by a keyboard driver and will stop working when you enable one of the alternate MiniBarkeyboards. If you've done that, go into "MioPocket Settings", choose "MiniBar->Set MiniBar keyboard", select "SIP", hard resetthe device and re-install MioPocket.

5.15 After installation, my device is unusable!This is for if you are not able to use MioPocket and your device is in an unusable state (i.e. "bricked"). On most devices, a hard

converted by Web2PDFConvert.com

Page 16: MioPocket 4.0

reset or shutdown will restore the unit to original condition. Usually, that can be done by holding the power button down (or, on somedevices, like the Mio Moovs, holding the power switch in the "off" position) for up to 10 seconds. After a few seconds, repeat to turnit back on. If you did an SD installation, make sure to try this without the SD card in. If the device is built-into the dash of your car,disconnect and reconnect the car battery.

If the device boots up with the same problem, then try re-copying MioPocket to your card/device, since it's possible that errorsoccurred the first time that you did. If that doesn't do it, try re-downloading MioPocket and re-copying it, since files can becomecorrupt during downloading or while just sitting on your hard drive. If you continue to have problems and you've been copying thefiles to an SD card (for SD installation or SD-to-SD-free installation), it may well be that your SD card's file system has becomecorrupt. Re-format the SD card (using Extras\Win32\SD Formatter from the MioPocket zip, if possible), then re-copy MioPocket.

If you still have problems, try connecting the device to USB. If that works and you performed an SDfree (flash drive) installation,rename the file(s) back that you renamed to install MioPocket (ex. "MioMap_orig.exe" back to "MioMap.exe"). If that doesn't workor you performed an SD installation, try using the Mobile Registry Editor (Extras\Win32\Mobile Registry Editor) from a Windowscomputer. If you can use that, access the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init key and modify the entries to mirror what's in theBackup\init.txt file on the drive/card that you installed MioPocket. If init.txt doesn't exist, try just deleting the Launch9999 value(which launches MioPocket).

If the above doesn't work and you performed an SD installation, copy MioAutoRun\Programs\FileManCE2\FileManCE.exe to theplace where you copied/renamed MioAutoRun.exe and rename it to the same thing. If you performed an SDfree installation, find anSD card and follow the directions in this Readme for SD installation, but substituting MioAutoRun.exe in the instructions withFileManCE.exe. In both cases, pop the SD card in the device and, hopefully, the file manager will run. From there, if you performedan SDfree installation, rename the file back that you renamed to install MioPocket (ex. "MioMap_orig.exe" back to "MioMap.exe").Also, for both types of installation, try double-clicking on the Backup\PreInstallationBackup.reg file on the drive that you installedMioPocket. If that file doesn't exist or doesn't work, try running MioAutoRun\Programs\Regedit.exe and manually editing theHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init key to mirror what's in the Backup\init.txt file. If init.txt doesn't exist, try just deleting the Launch9999value (which launches MioPocket).

If you can't get the file manager to run from the SD card (and you're sure that you put in the right place and named it correctly), trycreating a folder named "2577" (without the quotes) in the root (top level) of the SD card and copying FileManCE.exe there,renaming it to autorun.exe. Pop the card in the device and the file manager may end up running. If so, follow the instructions in thesecond half of the last paragraph.

If none of the above works and you have a Mio Moov or Mio Spirit, try following the instructions in section 5.19 below. If that doesn'twork or you have a different device, try asking for help in the forums at http://www.gpspassion.com.

5.16 Installation completes, resets, then installs all over againOpen up MioAutoRun\MioPocket.ini, look under the [Unlock] section and set ResetAfterInstall to 0. That will prevent installationfrom resetting the device and will launch MioPocket without the reset. Note that the reset is required for some things in MioPocketto work as intended (because some important registry settings don't take effect until the next startup), so you should not disablethis setting unless your device gets stuck in an install-reset-install loop. For those who do disable it, understand that doing so ismore of a workaround than a real fix and do not be surprised if not *everything* in MioPocket works.

5.17 My device's original software interferes with MioPocketGo into MioPocket Settings, then "System->Manage startup apps." The apps listed there are run at startup via the HKLM\initregistry key. Identify an app that you think may be the one that you want to disable, but it's highly recommend that you don't doanything yet. First, exit MioPocket Settings first, load up Task Manager, find the app that you identified in the menu and kill itsprocess. Next, since some apps control USB, test that USB still works by connecting the device to your computer. If USB stillworks, it's likely safe to remove the app from startup. Go back into MioPocket Settings, select the same app and choose "Deletethis app." Exit out and soft reset to test the effect on startup. If you need to disable another app, follow the same steps. If you everneed to undo your changes, you can, at any time, choose "Restore original startup apps" to go back to the list of startup apps thatyou had before you made any changes. If, for some reason, you are unable to use that option, copyMioAutoRun\Registry\Exclude\StartupAppsBackup.reg to MioAutoRun\Registry\Custom and re-install MioPocket.

If you are unable to even use MioPocket because the original software is hiding it, open up MioAutoRun\MioPocket.ini, find the"AppToKill=" line and set it equal to the executable name of the original software (ex. if it is MainShell.exe, doAppToKill=MainShell.exe). If you are not sure what the executable name is, find the "AppToRun=" line and change it toAppToRun=\\MioAutoRun\Programs\TaskMgr.exe (where "" is the name of your installation drive, ex. "Storage Card"), soft resetand, when the task manager runs, click on Processes, kill suspicious processes and exit the task manager to see which one isresponsible, then set the "AppToKill=" line in MioPocket.ini to that process name.

5.18 My device stays on when I turn the engine offGo into MioPocket Settings, then the "System" sub-menu and choose "Enable AutoStandby." With that enabled and when thedevice switches from external power to battery power (such when when you turn the engine off), a menu will be displayed. Leave italone and the device will put itself into Standby 10 seconds later or choose to postpone Standby by 3, 10 or 30 minutes.

5.19 My Mio Moov won't boot or connect to USB!

converted by Web2PDFConvert.com

Page 17: MioPocket 4.0

If this has happened to you (usually because you renamed AppStartupSec.exe or modified paths.xml, both of which you shouldnever do), turn the device off and, while it's off, connect the USB cable (which, on the other end, is connected to your computer),then turn the device on. If a USB connection is not established, repeat this many, many times by turning the device off and back on;eventually, it may connect. If it connects, undo the file & folder changes that you did to the flash drive.

Another thing to try is to get an SD card and create a "Cobia" folder on it that corresponds to section 2.2a4B (SD installationinstructions for Moovs). Next, copy MioAutoRun\Programs\FileManCE2\FileManCE.exe to that folder and rename it to Auto.exe.Finally, put the device's power switch in the reset position, then in the on position, and as soon as the "USB connection" screen isshown (if it's shown), insert the SD card. If it works, the FileMan file browser will launch. At that point, undo the file & folder changesthat you did to the flash drive.

If both of those tricks don't work, there *may* be a way to establish a USB connection by opening up the Moov and shorting twopins. Poster "al13lea" at gpspassion.com came up with this. Here is my interpretation of his instructions:1. Open the Moov's case by removing two little screws.2. Notice 4 pins near the RESET/OFF/ON switch in which pins 1 & 2 form a pair and, slightly further away, pins 3 & 4 form a pair(ex. "|| ||" or "1 2 3 4").3. Connect the Moov through the USB cable to your computer.4. Take a piece of conductive medal (such as a coin) and touch both of (and only) the middle two pins (pins 2 & 3) with it. If nothinghappens after a few seconds, try doing the same with the two left-most pins (pins 1 & 2).5. If successful, you should have the device recognized in Windows. At that point, undo the file & folder changes that you madeearlier and which caused the problem.

To read the actual description of the solution, see the following thread and scroll down to al1elea's post:http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=114520

Note that these instructions apply specifically to the Moov 200, but might work for any Moov. There is no guarantee that this willwork, though, so attempt it only if you have tried everything else and assume all risks.

If that doesn't work, try reading barmaley77's posts here: http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=127723&whichpage=34

5.20 I get a "Syntax error" message during installationThis is caused by a bad registry file, most likely the automatic backup. Browse to the MioAutoRun\Registry\Custom folder anddelete RegistryBackup.reg.
