you r the mannn...I am on vacation in Florida. I will try it as soon as I am back...thanks a bunch man. do you know what year/version these files are from ?

 

The date in the files is 1998 so..at least that old. They were the original files from the factory on the 99 TL.

Database Version: ADB0413

 

I got hold of Region 5 files with database version 415 but confusing part is that its size on disk is only 253 MB while DB413 is 282 MB ... so which one is the latest? the files timestamps are the same datewise but times are different?

 

Hmm...interesting. Maybe the region lines were redrawn slightly or fewer POIs.

I got the database version from the "information" screen on the nav unit. There's a bunch of codes on the drive, but nothing that smells "data version".

Did you try running a diff on the files?

Are you aware of ANY region files over two time periods? Perhaps we can trend the change in data size from build to build...

Just a thought.

not sure runnig a diff will help as most of the files are raw data files. A diff is helpful only on text files. But I am ok with either database as long as the navigation unit works.
on another note, I finally got my navigation working but I had to try two PNY compact flash. One worked the other did not work. both had FAT16 file system... weired.

 

Could anyone send me all the region files because i want to get my gps back. Please send to Calvintran383@yahoo.com. I really appreciate that.

 

Hey guys,.. I recently sold my '99 TL for a 4runner, so I'm saying goodbye to Acurazine for awhile. But I just wanted to drop by and say that I have a 512mb PNY compact flash card loaded with Region 1 files (CA & NV). You'll still need the PCMCIA adapter to make it work, but otherwise it's plug and play. I'm selling it for $10 with free shipping. Just PM me if you want it.

 

Hey FuzzyNutz - I'll buy that CF card from you. I can't PM yet, so email me at blazen.jones85 at neverbox.com. Thanks!

 

If he doesn't buy the card from you I will. will_coop@hotmail.com

 

selling my navigation hard disk replacement (Compact flash + adapter). dont need it any more. email me arm5262 at yahoo dot com.

 

Does this Compact flash + adapter work for 1999 Acura RL 3.5? please let me know it is very urgent. My nav disk failed and I need to replace it.

 

www.navhelp.com is another option

 

Buying from me is another option!

yes it will work with 1999 RL

 

Does anyone have the region 1 file they could send me?

I'm a newb to this forum so I can't pm, but can post my email if anyone has it.

Looking to put together the compact flash/adapter version of the navigation as my hard drive is on the fritz as well

Thanks!

 

Can you send them to my email please?

 

Welcome to the forums.

I doubt very much that you will get a reply, since the post was made in 2007 and the poster hasn't been in the forums since 2011.

Maybe you'll get lucky and someone else might have the information.
