Go!Explorer Now Out For Euro

[PDG]

That's nice, does that mean that we can put out own maps for the rest of Europe (not england, ireland) without waiting for the release?

Is it possible to get hold of the maps?

Sounds like that or a step for a licence number generator application

Ok i did some groundbreaking work on this baby today.

The only protection Sony build in to prevent you to load additional maps is

L_0.lic

A licencse file. In that encrypted license file are the maps that can be loaded.

how can we help you to desencript this file. i'm very interested about this to use spain maps.
thanks

Just for everyone's interest and not sure if anyone has done this but if you get a lock on the satellites and then go to explore for me in Australia it actually pinpoints where i live in australia only that the whole of australia is black with no details of streets or anything just black so maybe if there's some way to add the maps to the overlay or something to give us the streets?

Of course this is a speculations but there is potential to hack this software to include our maps

I'm not sure if this is allowed in this forum but if its not approiate please delete this.

Anyway i was thinking in theory i was searching in google and found that there is these licence files that can be downloaded which allows the use of other maps i wonder if you replace a licence file and import the maps to the program and run it will it work?

Hi mscarceller unfortunately i didn't read it anywhere it was a theory that i developed but it didn''t go well because i manage to download the licence file from mio map but the licence file itself extension is a .db file not a .lic so i don't think there is a way but to hack the .lic to make other maps work. Otherwise we just have to wait til the ps store releases out downloadable maps :P

Nice to see the Go!Explore had support for diffrent languages upon installation

Sad to say i havent tested it because i live in Sweden and not in London/ireland but hey, its a start

It can in fact work with the holux, yes.

If you supply the bautrate, etc etc it can work.

You should make a gps setup then.

Maybe Deniska can do this, although i think not, because he likes his own program better dan $ony stuff
(...)

Config files can be edited easily, if you want new themes and new poi's in the "game".

Since i don't have a Holux receiver AND since the program chrashes on any modifications to the file is doesn't seem to be that any mod is coming soon, atleast by me.

Unles you go play with the software yourself offcourse.

It would be great! I know there is easy to ask for that, but hard to made. But may someone try Maybe connecting oryginal usb hollux cable into small usb by some kind of connector and modyfying prx ??

Anyway You'r right! it's better to wait for final release
After that we will be sure than everything is allright - for me will be time for cut out jack

well this lic. file are we sure that the maps and street data (E.g. places, names of buildings, names of streets). cuz the acual map file is only a 1 pic as a background.. the names of streets and there locations are programed into it, not into the map.. so in other words the map has no steet names on it.. maybe its somthign called vector map or somthing.... i hope somone pulls off a custom map/street/data file for stats of the usa.. maybe that geodata.dat file might come in use.. btw this program runs at 222mhz and the maps freaking load mad fast i lvoe it.. i wont get lost if i go to london i guess..

Once again, see rule 1 of the forum rules and also Sony forum rules, which I think apply here. Discussing features of an upcoming product is fine, but no warez, hacking, etc. of Go!Explore.

Further such posts will be deleted or the topic will be closed.
