Mio Moov M305, Map Installation Tricks And Tips? Options

[AlS]

Hi,

Ive just bought Mio Moov 305 with the MioMap 2009 software. I need to install the map of Turkey but it asks me for an activation key which i have to purchase.

I was wondering if there is a trick to install/cack the map somehow.

I already have the map of Turkey on the DVD provided but simply copying it into the directory with the other maps doesnt work. I also tried to modify the mapshigh.xml by changing the filename of one other available map with the filename of the map of Turkey and changing the size of the file as well as the country name, but it did not work.

A couple of ideas came up and i need some help figuring out how to do them.

1. Is there a way to hack this activation key for at least for one map (for Turkey in this case) or somehow get an already activated software letting me install the map freely?

2. Would it be more convernient to install a more popular software to my device (like of TomTom) in order to be able to use its easily found cracked maps? If yes which software would be more suitable for my device? Could you please provide any direct download links to this software if possible?

Thanks a lot for your reply in advance.

Regards...

Welcome to the forum, AlS.

HOWEVER.... this forum does not allow the discussion of illegal hacking of maps etc.
You might think it's a "victimless crime" (you probably never considered it a crime at all...) but software piracy like this just puts the price up for the rest of us.

You wouldn't think it was OK to shoplift a copy of a paper atlas from W.H. Smiths would you? So why not just buy an activation key...
