i had sometime last year installed v5.00.20w on my China made PNA, but was very frustrated when I keep on getting the write access violation errors while using it. thus i had decided to use PPG instead since it is more stable. unfortunately, PPG doesn't allow custom POIs that i can download..
recently i tried this copy of v5.00.30w-ASN, replace the Que.exe as my unit uses SDMMC as the sd card directory, and it works like charm! unfortunately the unit with the default chinese font (although i had changed it to English) can't display some of the street name and my saved "locations" well.. after tons of reading from blogs and other forums, i noticed that it had something to do with Que.exe and QueResources.dll..
using the hex editor, i opened up Que.exe and noticed that this custom Que.exe do have the capability of displaying the original garmin fonts (including Chinese.ttf and Thai.ttf).. i managed to discover the default Garmin fonts to be "GarminDejaVuSans-Bold.ttf" & "GarminDejaVuSans.ttf".. i managed to download it via torrent after googling from the internet, save it into the Font folder and miracles happened... it works on my device! but then again, i don't know why it doesn't work on my friend's PNA, which uses the same copy of v5.00.30W-ASN copied from my PNA.. hope to find some workaround for this..
my gratitude goes to karagiosis and artful for this wonderful mod...
