Tim,

I can’t find the way to clear destination. I just would like to use only GPS, not navigation. What can I do? Any help?

Really – this is a dead product. unfortunately, though it was spec’d really well and had potential, there is a lesson here – don’t buy gear from companies who arent focussed on the product. HP have a history of doing this kind of thing.

Theres plenty of vendors out there who are focussed on GPS – go for one of them and write this product off as a cute media player for one of the kids …

I did. All I got was that there is no plan at this stage to provide Australian map data. It’s really frustrating! I’m not willing to try to illegally get updated stuff by hacking the device, but it seems like there’s not another option other than to let it age to uselessness like the 2003 map I still have in my glovebox. Any news on any sort of update that might work will be well received!

That’s quite odd. They have safety camera and 3D files for Australia combined with New Zealand but only maps for New Zealand. Did you contact them about it?

Just learned about the discontinued support – I tried to update my maps for the first time since 08, and when it didn’t work I contacted HP. The online support person I spoke to had no idea that the product had been discontinued, and I gave up trying to get some actual help out of her after an hour.

http://www.naviextras.com don’t do Australian maps. This doesn’t make sense if they’re the company that was providing the maps in the first place. Is there any other site that I might be able to use? I don’t mind paying for maps (despite choosing the unit because they were free), I just don’t want a GPS that is years out of date. Thanks a lot, HP. Please let me know if anyone knows anything!

Did you try a factory reset? Can’t really think of a reason, though sometimes it can take awhile to get a fix.

Not sure what you mean that your CD is outdated. Mine never came with much info and I had to download Content Manager from the website. Since it is down and updates are not available, it really doesn’t make much difference. If you want a better tool, go to naviextras.com and download the free toolbox. With it you can make backups and move your old maps to your PC if you want to buy new ones.
