Interesting and MASSIVE update at 1.7Gb for the 310 and 1.8Gb for the 314, the 312 ans 316 can't be too far. Wonder why it can't be done via the Content Manager.

This isn't for all European 314's - mine is FA976AT#BAN which, according to HP Live Support (I dispute the term live!) is not the same. I was advised not to use it by them.
Whether they actually have any idea is in dispute - the same as whether the TMC service for the UK is a free service. They couldn't answer that one!
Perhaps they ought to bring back the support to the UK from other countries, that might help. But that's another subject. |

Good point, actually this is an update for the German version that roeka posted in the main topic. We have now found a link for France too. Not sure what HP is doing here as the OS is in English anyway, oh well...Maybe you can find the UK version with their search engine.
UPDATE - Found two for the UK !
Link I - Link II the second one being for "Western Europe II region" whatever that it... |

The NA version is exactly the same as what is currently available via CM, right down to the POI problems.
I know they said there would be an alternate method to update vs CM, that's all this is. |

There is still a difference between the AA bit and the AT bit. I rang up Live Support about the difference and would you believe it, they didn't have an answer, only not to use it. I had already downloaded about 1Gb at that stage, not impressed.
I do like the 314, just hate the so called support!! They have not a clue, said the machine was too new!! Unbelievable. |

| This might be a stupid question but is it possible to upload the US update onto a 314 to give access to US maps? |

| I have installed the update for Germany (with the wrong SKU number for my device) yesterda)and everything worked fine in the beginning. First I installed the installation program on my PC, and then installed the update on my device using this program (Total duration approx 4 hrs). In the end the program told me that my device was successfully updated.But when I removed the USB cable and the device rebootet, I got a message that the program couldn't start, and whether I would like to reset to factory settings. I could click yes or no, it always returned to that screen, although on the flash of the device everything appeared to be present allright. So I guess it was the incompatibility with the SKU numbers. Unfortunately, for my SKU FA976AT#BAN no update is available. The saving date of the maps on the device is 02/2008, of the other files 03/2008. So probably this could be a real update, but currently not for me. Fortunately restoring my current version through content manager worked fine. |

you can download it and run the exe and it will create a directory: c:\program files\hewlett-packard\iPAQ 31x Map Update (NAENG)
in that directory it will extract all the files for your GPS. It will put all the files in the same directory structure as on your ipaq. You can do it without installing it on your GPS. it has all the US maps and pois too. It will create a shortcut on your desktop to run another program to install it. So if you don't want to install but see what it inside of it, you can just install it on your PC to explore the files.
It took about 2 hours to install on my GPS. The maps are still only 2007.7, not 2007.10 (the newest us maps).
When you install it on your GPS it will erase everything and all the settings. I installed it but havent spent a lot of time on it. Runs fine but I couldn't really see any differences.

| Roeka - I did say, on HP's advice, to make sure the SKU number was exactly the same. At least they got that bit right! |

There are 3 updates released for iPaq 316:
- Hungarian OS for FB078AA#1HL (sp39117.exe)
- Greek OS for FA977AA#B1Q (sp39120.exe)
- English OS for both FB078AA#1HL and FA977AA#B1Q (sp39119.exe)
The english one is not announced on HP web sites, but it exists on ftp.
Initially when I turned on my 316 for the first time, I have had a choice of INTERFACE language among many.
Questions are:
how can I know what is my 316's current OS language?
will I have a choice of INTERFACE languages after upgrade? |

Just made full backup and installed English version successfully - it was exactly the same as originally on the device, with wide choice of interface languages...
More important is the fact that Content Manager is offering fresh update over this... |
