Alpha 100 (HWID 1562) has 'weak' MSV protection in firmware, so can use maps with Code Page 1252 (Latin) unlocked with latest gmunlock but need fw patching to use CP 65001 (Unicode) unlocked map data although there are workarounds for that too.
The screen messages when you load incompatible maps have a sense however. "Cannot unlock maps" generally means there's at least one map tile in the data which hasn't been unlocked. "Maps are corrupt and cannot be used" message means that the device needs patched fw to use the map, or the map data has to be manipulated for a 'weak' protected device to use a map with unicode data.
Use GMapTool to check the map data. You may simply need to run gimunlock.exe again to fully unlock it if it's exclusively CP1252 data.
Ah Thanks! I checked with GMapTool and the map is indeed 65001. Where can I find the software
that I need to patch? Thanks for the help
I just checked, I have PartNumber 006-B1562-00 Software 780. Which file and program do I need to update to use my 65001 map?
Edit, did as the comment above and used Webupdater. Map works now! :D
What is the easiest way to change the TYP file? Some paths and roads are way too small on this map compared to my old one. All help very appreciated!
