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. for music, movies, appointments, multiple navigation apps, etc.), like PDAs. Nearly all GPS devices use Windows CE as the core operating system, just as Pocket PCs do, but they usually try to keep you from accessing the operating system so that you can't mess 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 navigation software. It is just a frontend from which you may launch your device's navigation software or other navigation software that you've purchased. 1.2 Programs and features MioPocket 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, multiple dictionaries (including English to 5 languages), dozens of games, two image viewers, two paint programs, MS Office document viewers, text editors, handwritten note-taking apps, four general GPS plotting/mapping apps (good for geocaching), three different appointments/tasks apps, internet apps, registry editors, task managers/switchers, file managers, a contacts app, a calculator, a unit converter, an alarm clock and more (all free/shareware). See section 6 below for a full list. Note: MioPocket does not come with MioMap, iGo, Garmin, TomTom or any other commercial navigation software. Icons and scripts are included for them, but not the programs, themselves (since they are not free). 1.3 Device support Technically, MioPocket should run on any Windows CE-based device. Due to the great many brands and types of devices out there, though, some will have better success than others when it comes to the ease of installation and the number of included features and programs that work. Most major Windows CE-based GPS brands, such as Mio (which MioPocket was originally designed 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 that MioPocket does not include instructions for, you may have to look around online (including the gpspassion.com forums) for unlock instructions and then adapt MioPocket accordingly... or be a pioneer and figure it out for yourself. Note that TomTom and Garmin devices are Linux-based and, hence, MioPocket (which is Windows CE-based) cannot run on them. 2.0 Installation 2.1 Installation methods MioPocket can be installed to SD card or to internal flash disk (SD-free installation). Each has its advantages and disadvantages... SD advantages: SD cards have ample space, copying to SD card is fastest and returning to factory condition is usually as easy 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 and returning 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 are changed) and uninstalling MioPocket and returning to factory condition requires changing them back. Also, space is usually limited, meaning that some users won't be able to fit MioPocket without removing maps and/or MioPocket components. The SD-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 the easiest 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 INSTRUCTIONS Disclaimer: Unlocking a device always carries some risk. No one who has contributed to the creation or support of MioPocket is liable 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 closing MioPocket 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 on the 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 often produces errors or corrupt files. Note: if you happen to get any warnings about viruses, you can safely ignore them, as no one writes viruses for Windows CE and any that are "found" are almost certainly false positives. 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 models only: i. Copy MioAutoRun.exe, MioAutoRun.mscr and Mortscript.exe to the root of your SD card, then rename them according to the following: * 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 them to Oscar200DM.exe and Oscar200DM.mscr * c210: Rename MioAutoRun.exe to goce.exe and MioAutoRun.mscr to goce.mscr * c220 and c250: Rename MioAutoRun.exe to oscar91adm.exe and MioAutoRun.mscr to oscar91adm.mscr. If that doesn't work, rename them to goce.exe and goce.mscr * 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...
