It’s a surprisingly capable media player using TCMP and supports SDHC!

I think the author mentioned that there are fixes in the gpspassion forums.

Real hacking done on a budget device (These were going for $99.00 around town during black friday) to make it do more things.

I just wish he found a hack to remove the stupid legal disclaimer crap they have every time you boot it.

Very cool the updating the POI database to be larger than the tomtom database. glad I snagged a copy before the second file was taken down.

My Mio 310 I picked up last year ran an older version of WinCE, but it was easily opened up to 3rd party apps. My collection of iPaq software got a whole new use.

Though quite a bit of it is only available in French. I used their guide for the ViaMichelin X-930 though it doesn’t make much sense on that unit as its very memory constrained. (The software that ships on it has crashed about 4 times for me.) Adding BananaPC and other apps makes it almost unusable with the ViaMichelin software. If only I could get the SirfStar to respond to other applications I’d use some other gps package on it.
