You are not supposed to burn it as a Video DVD. You will need to select the option to burn CD from image file.

video dvd? you should just open the iso & it'll burn as a full disc image

maybe video dvd formatted it and messed it up, just burn it as an image & at a slow speed 2x is what i used

Got this working on the first burn. Big thanks goes out to everyone that helped. However, has anyone noticed that you can't zoom in on the maps as much compared to the 2009.1 disc.

You mean you can't zoom to 100m like the 2009? What's the max zoom scale?

sbux · 04-08-2010, 04:01 PM

brinx38 · 04-08-2010, 04:50 PM

Confirmed that we can still zoom in to 100m and out to 1000 km.

Yay both Region 1 & 2 works great! Strangely enough Region 2 appears to work a lot faster for me compared to 2009.1 and even Region 1. I'm in Central Canada - Ontario. I think it's because the disc image is smaller and because it doesn't have to worry about the neighbouring US states because Region 2 doesn't cover the entire Eastern side of the US.

I'm happy with the recentness of the data. Busting open the ISO it appears that the maps are dated Sept 21, 2009 (the files in "DB" Directory) and the POI database is dated Nov 4, 2009 ("TTCBUSA_NA_20091104" directory). Consequently, any omissions or mistakes from the maps or the POI database are solely the fault of TeleAtlas/TomTom and not from dated data.

Thanks to all who helped out!

Sorry for the silly question, but can the image be loaded on to the iDrive HDD? So there is no need to run maps off the DVD?

I just tried putting in disc #1 into the optical drive but it doesn't do anything. Can anybody please help? Is there a special key combination that I should press so that it would initiate the update sequence? TIA

You have the newer I-drive. This is completely useless to you.

You'll need to go back to the dealer for updates.

Got both of them now, thanks again!!!! They work great, of course, being on the west coast disc 1 doesn't really do much

heh.
