Here is the manufacturer website of my device:
[Please Register or Login to download file] I can't find how much memory it has anywhere, but did figure out that it runs windows CE5. That probably means it doesn't have much memory, but it will handle a 16gig micro SD card which surprised me.
The top level of the sd card is merely a "gogo" directory. Here are levels two and three. Three is the binder directory where the executable is located.

There must be a file that controls my options, but I don't know which one it would be. There are several .txt files, but they mostly control specfic things, for example, in the resource directory there are several txt files labeled day1, night1, 2 & 3, that seem to control the colors of objects.
Here's a quick paste of the top few lines of day1.txt.
//
// Map Layout Definition
// Day1
// DO NOT USE WHITE SPACE BEFORE AND AFTER '=' TO PREVENT AMBIGUOUSNESS
// resource name
[Resources]
SkyBox=Sky_Day1.imz
// bg color
// P_color : land color of level 0, 1, 2
// S_color : water color of world level
[BG]
P_Color=(214 ,209, 215)
S_Color=(153, 179, 204)
My step by step process is as follows:
1. I downloaded your two part program files
2. I downloaded the maps (from here)
3. I replaced the relevant lines in sys.txt that you had instructed another user with my unit to do.
4. I read gsthunders 19 page thread after I had the same error messages as he did and the program wouldn't load.
5. I downloaded the single part program that another member uploaded that was in that thread. This worked, error went away, but you said not to use it in the thread because it was different, so I deleted it.
6. I downloaded the zipped data directory in that thread and replaced your zipped data directory. (My error messages then went away and the program loaded).
7. I set up options and configured the GPS from the other mods help, and then finally selected a non tts voice. When I select other voices, the non tts ones always work, the tts ones work occasionally. Out of 5 or 6 tries, I've heard the Susan voice once, and the Dave voice about three times.
I'm ok with using the non tts voice, but if you think this might help someone else to sort through it, I'm certainly willing. I've learned a lot through this process and I thank both of you for this. A week ago, I thought I was stuck with outdated maps, as gogo maps has not updated them, and at this point probably won't, but I wasn't really willing to pay to have them updated anyhow.
I'm thinking I might try to make tomtom and garmin maps work as well, but fully realize my unit may not have enough memory to do that sucessfully.
If you would like a copy of my original GPS program, I'd be happy to furnish that.
