*** NDRIVE 10.1.15 FOR ANDROID | INSTALLATION GUIDE ***++++ PRELIMINARY STEPS ++++YOU MUST READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY! There are two easy ways to get this to work. As it is quite clear, no one on 32 pages is organized enough to write down their prices of installing NDRIVE, without vague and convoluted steps, I have gone to the effort of testing and writing up the steps and instructions all via my Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100! (Would have been easier with a real keyboard and mouse!)
REQUIREMENT: We need maps and voices for our country and language.
I got mine from TWO methods, these were:
METHOD ONE: The other way that also worked for me was to download the free v10.5.1 NDRIVE from Android Market. (just do a search and look for a free NDRIVE. In the description it says only for technical support use!) Heheh....
(I will upload NDRIVE below as file #001.)I installed it, ran setup wizard, downloaded maps, voices.
I then uninstalled NDRIVE and copied the /voices/ and /maps/ folders from SDCard to another folder.
Once you've moved or copied those folders, delete the NDRIVE folder on your SDCard (and also uninstall NDRIVE, if you didn't do that above as instructed!).
(I will upload the voices below to #003.) --OR-- METHOD TWO: Download the file, with your map region, with a file labeled this, with the XXX substituted for your country.
» NDRIVE_XXX_ZZ_MULTIPLATFORM.EXE
(I will upload EXE below as file #002.)This windows application contains everything we need. Just open it, run the install, then it will extract three map file from inside the exe, I clicked cancel on rest of setup.
NOTE: You can also just right click on the exe and click "extract to..." if you have WinRAR... this will extract the whole thing, giving you access to Maps folder, but no custom downloaded voices (if you want more than just English etc).
(I will upload the voices below to #003.)++++ INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ++++Once you have followed the serious above, begin with these easy steps:
1. INSTALL THE ANDROID BOOST VERSION 10.5.1 APK.
(I will upload below as file #004.)2. START THE SETUP WIZARD, IT WILL DOWNLOAD 35+ MB.
3. WHEN IT STARTS THE WIZARD STARTS ASKING TO DOWNLOAD LANGUAGES, KILL THE NDRIVE PROCESS (TASK MANAGER).
4. COPY THE VOICES FILES INTO THE /VOICES/ FOLDER ON YOUR SDCARD.
5. COPY THE MAP(S) AND THE /ExtraFeaturePaks/Voices.zip INTO /MAPS/ FOLDER ON YOUR SDCARD. (EXAMPLE: XXX_NT.MAP)
6. NOW, TURN YOUR GPS ON AND OPEN NDRIVE (AGAIN).
7. IT WILL START LOADING AND THEN SHOW THE "PICK DEFAULT LANGUAGE" SCREEN (AS WE ALREADY INSTALLED VOICES IN STEPS ABOVE!).
8. CHOOSE YOUR DEFAULT LANGUAGE, BY PLACING TICK ON ONE AND CONTINUE.
9. CONFIGURE THE SETTINGS, AND YOU CAN THEN START NAVIGATING.
