NZ Map Software Help Please ?

Post by Benckj »

Recently, I purchased a Chinese Head Unit with 7" touchscreen for displaying my gauges off a MSPNP. I'm really impressed with the unit and it seems to function really well. Time will tell if it is reliable enough to use and can expand into other functions (ie TPMS and front camera record).

The HU did not come with a NZ Map card to allow the GPS to function but is advertised as being a free download. I've contacted the seller and they replied to simply download a map using an IGO Android version. I initially tried several but was stopped several times due to virus detection and Scam warnings. The seller then provided me a link into their domain for downloading a zip file but this makes no sense to me on how to use.

Wondering if anyone can help either with supplying a Map or explaining what this domain link means?

116.6.104.5:801/yks/s/ebccbe34

If I have to flag it this won't be a big deal as the unit connects to my phone and can use Google maps. Would be nice to have all the same as it provides time & weather info plus some recording for vehicle tracking, etc.

It may be an ad, I have adblock plus and it let me straight in

EDIT: so didn't see the IP address link, getting the same thing with Chrome. Bypassing the security gives access to the link. Let me download it

So what do you suggest I do?

So far I've only been able to trace the domain but not actually see the zipped file which was placed there for me. I have a screen shot of the page but may take some work if it is worth a look.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Jim, I went past the wall and found a zip file too. I will have a look at it if Clanfever doesn't.

Okay so it's been downloading overnight. Either my internet is shocking or the domain upload rate is rubbish. It doesn't have a total size and right now it's done 322mb and still downloading.

Awfully large virus! :twisted:
I've downloaded some large files from a server that would only upload at 6kbps. That is not fun at all.

That would be helpful as every way I've tried didn't allow access. Not something I'd attempt at my work though as we have very tight firewall's.

If someone could download onto Micro SD card (8gb) and send down to me I'd appreciate it. I'd transfer the $$ into your account. Thanks for all the effort.

Thanks Olaf. I'll flick you my address in a PM.

I'm not really sure how large the file is but most maps come on a 8gb SD card.
