It was not previously known that the Windows operating system also has an application in car navigation, Windows CE.


Help upgrade a "Changan to still XT" car on the Windows CE under the German navigation, notice that this is Baidu acquired, provide free map of the brand.


The download of the upgrade file is in:

http://a.autonavi.com/License/outer/index.jsp

Click to open link

Car Navigation section


Look at the upgrade instructions, actually asked

Upgrade files must be placed in a specific brand of "genuine" USB flash drive, or may cause the upgrade to fail


This means that the person who does the navigation does not understand the difference between the "upgrade success" and "Upgrade failure" of the USB flash drive.

This problem can actually be used with any normal USB flash drive, "low-level" format to FAT32 format (not fast format) to ensure.


In addition, the SD card capacity of the onboard system is limited, and after backing up and deleting the original navigation file in Windows CE,

An issue with insufficient space to upgrade to a new version (with upgrade or copy mode) will cause the upgrade to actually fail. Need

Select Properties in the Pop-up dialog box of the SD card under Windows CE Control Panel >> Storage Management, then "Uninstall" and then "Quick Format"

To ensure enough SD card space to store the extracted upgrade files (a profile, a data and program folder).


(Ask the manufacturer: is the SD card so expensive?) This system is really too key, if the map system continues to upgrade in the next 5 years, capacity requirements 3.8G what to do?

The time will not be able to self-help, only to 4S shop to slaughter--4S most of it is to kill you did not discuss, do not believe you try to


Touch-screen version of the Windows CE Car navigation system is a wonderful piece of rubbish. Not only difficult to operate the touchscreen, but also slow response, a variety of exceptions or errors lack of sufficient information,

Therefore, the owner of the upgrade will always appear a variety of errors. In addition, the copy-paste operation is extremely slow; Trial and error takes a long time


It took two days before and after (although the actual time spent on it was not too long) to complete the upgrade.


Conclusion:

1. Changan to the still XT of the high-level navigation upgrade, in addition to already mentioned, there are two key issues in the upgrade document before the specification is not mentioned or vague, which may be the main reason for the frequent failure of owners to upgrade:

(1) The USB flash drive needs to be formatted as a "low-level" slow format, and then used to transfer the upgrade files and backup old maps, otherwise the operation according to the instructions may not be able to enter the Windows CE interface FAT32;  Preparing the correct USB stick should be plugged in before the key is powered on, otherwise it may not be possible to enter Windows CE; I am in Windows 8.1 right mouse button "format", ensure FAT32 format, cannot tick "quick format" option; Formatting a cheap 16G small USB flash drive incredibly took 4-5 hours to complete!! The USB flash drive is directly used, or quickly formatted and put the upgrade file, you will not be able to enter Windows CE; Therefore, not as indicated in the instructions, must be certain brands of U disk to be available;

(2) Direct upgrade may have insufficient content of SD card, into the Windows CE using Copy/paste to put the upgrade files on the USB flash drive to the SD card upgrade should be more reliable and have time to prompt a better method (because to wait 1 hours, this is really turtle speed hardware!); Before upgrading the file, you should back up the original file and quickly format the SD card; Note the formatting action is not formatted directly in the dialog box when you open the SD in Control Panel (although there is also a "format" button,--will not be prompted to format the database File error dialog box); Instead, open a new Properties dialog box, click the "Uninstall" button, then click "Format" in the new dialog box that pops up and make sure "Quick Format" is selected.


Other precautions are mentioned in the official operating instructions and are not described. Summarize this for reference only.


By the way: Feel the Changan to still XT control aspect is really good.

I originally thought, a domestic brand, 1.6 of the displacement of the car, also dare to refer to foreign brands to such a high price, is not daring too big, the heart is too dark?

After driving, the overall feeling is indeed much better than other joint-venture imported vehicles of similar price level; This is also the direction of domestic vehicles should go. Come on.


and Windows CE for car navigation, or not as good as Android type;

This version of the German map, can provide navigation functions are relatively junior, Baidu is only acquisition? Is there no corresponding effort in research and development and after-sales and documentation? Condemn
