Mio (Moov) PATHS.XML problem
So, you managed to modify your PATHS.XML file and now you cannot connect to you device via USB?
Don't panic, there is a solution:
Disconnect your device from any power source and leave it powered on... when battery drains out (no image on your screen), plug-in your USB cable and device should recognize it. If not, restart device and try again until you succeed.
Finally, when you manage to connect to device, open you PATHS.XML file and replace you text with original one (text below is for MioMoov 330, I didn't tested other devices):

<name>appstartupsec</name>
<basepath>\Program Files\MioMap</basepath>
<files>
<file>AppStartupSec.exe</file>
</files>
</filegroup>
</paths>
After that, save this file and restart you device to see if everything is OK. If not, repeat whole procedure until succed.
Good luck!
MioMoov simple unlock - Do it yourself
Hello there!
If you would like to unlock you MioMoov device, without any unlock application, this is right place for you! :)
I tried many unlocks and I was not satisfied with any! Why? Mostly these unlocks have lot of functionalities that I don't use, they are often unstable, especially if they are started from SD Card (so called SD Card unlocks), many unlocks need GPS signal to be able to start so if something happens, you need to restart device, wait for GPS signal, install unlock, start your navigation software and then you can continue driving. It often lasts several minutes!
Long story short, I just need reliable navigation and that's it!
Because of all these reasons, I decided to unlock MioMoov 330 by myself. Even if I thought it will be difficult, if fact it's not! You just need to precisely follow procedure:
Note 2: If you want to do "Factory Reset", you just need to:
Good: you can restart your device and application will start immediately. No waiting for unlocks to load.
Bad: you don't have possibility to start some other navigation application (not even MioMap2008 that was built in) or any other application like games, office tools, etc.
So, if you need just navigation software on your device and you want everything to work fast, do it this way and I guarantee that you will be satisfied.

Because of all these reasons, I decided to unlock MioMoov 330 by myself. Even if I thought it will be difficult, if fact it's not! You just need to precisely follow procedure:
- Decide which software you would like to use and download it to your computer. (I use iGO Primo)
- Connect navigation to computer. (I have USB cable)
- Copy desired navi application files to your device. (I copied it to Program Files\Primo folder)
- Go to Program Files\MioMap folder, locate file AppStartupSec.ini and open it (Notepad will do the trick)
- Locate line ProcessFile=\Program Files\MioMap\MioMap.exe
- Change following lines (in that process): RelativePath to FALSE and ProcessFile to \Program Files\Primo\iGO.exe
- Restart your device and wait for magic to happend - your navi application is starting :)
Note 2: If you want to do "Factory Reset", you just need to:
- Delete folder you added for your navigation (in my case it's folder Primo)
- Put back MioMap2008 map to it's original path (if you deleted it)
- Change AppStartupSec.ini file to original state (RelativePath=TRUE, ProcessFile=\Program Files\MioMap\MioMap.exe)
Good: you can restart your device and application will start immediately. No waiting for unlocks to load.
Bad: you don't have possibility to start some other navigation application (not even MioMap2008 that was built in) or any other application like games, office tools, etc.
So, if you need just navigation software on your device and you want everything to work fast, do it this way and I guarantee that you will be satisfied.
My first Mio GPS & Me
Hello everyone!
Some people may know me from Serbian EliteSecurity forum (www.elitesecurity.org, username: knyazs) where I wrote numerous posts about GPS navigations (specifically Mio Mov), how to unlock it, how to install Mio Pocket on it, which navigation to use and so on.
When I bought MioMoov, MioMap 2008 was installed on it. I was not really satisfied with this software and I wanted to change it. Of course, i went to google...
There are many forums and posts and almost every post starts with: "Don't change files in your device!", "Do nothing if you are not sure!", etc. I guess what - they were right! :) Really, if you are not sure what you're doing - don't do it!
After couple hours, I finally found MioPocket (MP)! MP is really great unlock: it can be installed from SD Card (so you devices stays intact!), has many features: office, players, games, etc. Even it has many applications that I've never used, it was my choice for many months. But few months ago, version 4 appeared and I really, really didn't like it! They tried to make interface similar to iPhone's but it just don't work as you would expect. But, I believe that Osprey & CO will improve MP but for now, I just don't want to use it.
From my experience, there are many people out there with difficulties so I decided to help. This blog will contain my experiences with this evil GPS devices :)
