h a t i s M io P o ck e t ?  oPocket (MEE-oh-pok-it) is an "unlock" for GPS devices (aka PNAs) running Windows CE. Such devices almost always boot into the

anufacturer's software with no way to exit it, meaning that you cannot run any other software; i.e. the device is "locked." Unlocking yoevice allows you to use it for far more than the manufacturer intended (ex. for music, movies, appointments, other navigation apps, etc

nd more like a PDA. MioPocket is the most-packed and most-fully-featured unlock for PNAs available and is free and legal to use, as itonsists 100% of freely-distributable content. What MioPocket is not  is a replacement for MioMap, Mobile Navigator or any other OEM

avigation software. It is just a frontend from which you may launch the navigation software that came with your device or that you purceparately.

h a t t y p e s o f p r o g r a m s d o e s M i oP oc k e t c o m e w i t h ?  

oPocket comes with just about everything that you might want: three media players (video and audio, nearly all popular formats, includ

P3, WMA, AAC, OGG, MP4, H.264/AVC, WMV, MOV, DivX, XviD and more), four e-book readers, multiple dictionaries (including English tnguages), dozens of games, two image viewers, two paint programs, MS Office document viewers, text editors, handwritten note-taking

pps, four general GPS plotting/mapping apps (good for geocaching), three different appointments/tasks apps, internet apps, registry editsk managers/switchers, file managers, a contacts app, a calculator, a unit converter, an alarm clock and more (all free/shareware). See

eReadme file for a full list. Note: MioPocket does not come with MioMap, iGo, Garmin, TomTom or any other commercial navigation

oftware. Icons are included for them, but not the programs, themselves (since they are not free).

h a t d e v i c e s d o e s M i o Po c k e t r u n o n ?  

echnically, MioPocket should run on any Windows CE-based device. Despite the name (a nod to the Mio brand), it's evolved to become

exible and not hard-coded to any particular brand or configuration. Every device is slightly different, though, and due to the great manyands and configurations that are out there, the ease of installation and the number of apps and features that actually work will vary. M

ajor Windows CE-based GPS brands, such as Mio, Magellan, Navigon, Navman, Sanyo and Asus (as well as many other lesser brands, lecker, Rightway, Insignia, Binatone, Medion, Nextar, Route 66 and Wayteq) have installation instructions in MioPocket's Readme file. Fo

ands that MioPocket does not include specific instructions for, there are also some general instructions for SD-free installation on just abny device, but it's always a good idea to check around online (especially in the gpspassion.com forums) to see if and how others have d

Note that TomTom and Garmin devices are Linux-based and, hence, MioPocket (which is Windows CE-based) cannot run on them.

oth. You have the option of either. See the Readme file for instructions, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each.

h i c h f e a t u r e s m a k e M i o Po c k e t u n i q u e c o m p a r e d t o o t h e r u n l o c k s ?  Resolution independence. Will work with any resolution, from 320x240 to 800x480 and larger.

Fully customizable shell. Use your own image as wallpaper and change many other elements.

Install to SD card or to internal flash drive (SD-free).Close or minimize any open application, even those without any way to do either.

Bring up the keyboard (and do many other tasks) without closing or minimizing an application.Input text via many different keyboards or handwriting recognition.

Rotate the screen on-the-fly for apps that work better in portrait mode.Remote control your device from your Windows desktop.

Access your device while connected to USB (no connection screen in the way).Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5 pre-installed.

Access the start menu without displaying the taskbar.

njoy! Feedback is most welcome. If you have any problems or questions not answered in the Readme, feel free to ask here. If you need pload a screenshot, use this link and the URL for the image will be http://www.gpspassion.com/upload2/

you'd like some video to test the media player with, see the "Optional" section near the top of this post for a few videos that I encoded

80 pixels wide (on smaller displays, Media Player will scale) and in MP4 and DivX formats. FYI, I used Prism (an excellent, free converteindows) to convert them. Another good, free converter is Handbrake, which works on Windows, MacOS and Linux.

you'd like to create your own icons or add more already-made ones, see the "Optional" section near the top of this post for my iconmplates and the full iReflect 600+ icon set (tweaked to match the rest of MioPocket's icon style).
