Hi Shawn.

I didn’t brick mine, if “bricking” means to disable it. I followed the instructions from this website in order to access the OS on the navigator.

And when I fiddled with the startup files and I got stuck on the splash screen, I was still able to log into the GPS using the software that you showed to us in the instructions above. I changed it back to how it was meant to work.

I forget exactly how I did that, but in the end I got TomTom Navigator for WinCE running on it. The instructions from that I got from a site called GPS Underground.

Good luck with it.

I have bricked my device by entering the wrong value into “launch10″ instead of “launch50″. I’m stuck on the go cruise logo. if the user “martin” would please describe how he got his gps to connect with the computer once it was bricked, i’d be thankful, because for me, windows cannot recognize the device properly, so there’s no activesync or ce reg editor access.

Update to my last – I found ‘calibrate’ under Windows>Control Panel>Stylus and recalibrated, but still having trouble operating dialog boxes on the extreme RH side of the screen

this worked well with a go cruise 4300, however in oziexplorer the screen calibration has shifted a bit and i can’t access some dialog boxes with the stylus. I can’t get back to the ‘calibrate’ function either because the shortcut to the nngnavi.exe file is one step past the original startup screen which had mp3, video, jpeg etc. options. i’ve searched for the ‘launch.exe’ file but can’t find it

Does anyone know of any other handy applications for Win CE 5 that can be run on a hacked GPS like this such as a video players, games, pdf viewers, etc? The Win CE smartphone & PDA apps don’t work.

And btw for those with the SDMMC2 issue, save all persistent mods such as desktop shortcuts, wallpaper, sounds, etc to ResidentFlash instead as mentioned by Shawn in post #3. Still use the SD card for any programs such as Ozi.

Absolutely not.
TomTom uses Linux for it’s operating system, so you’d have to come up with a more craftier way of hacking it

Martin, everything on the internal memory is reset after a system shutdown. whatever you put there, including shortcuts, will be removed. you would want to change your startup folder in registry to the sd card to fix your problem.
