Navicore purchasers?
 
With the new mapping functionality of the 2008 OS, what happens to those who purchased Navicore?

You enter the Navicore serial, and activate wayfinder with nearly same features....

Wayfinder purchased Navicore in July 2007 - existing Navicore licenses are valid in Wayfinder software, including that in the N810. :)

exapnsys offers it for 100 Euros for the 770 with :
- car holder for 770
- Nokia Bluetooth GPS LD-3W with car charger (charger compatible with 770 N800 and I suppose N810 and many new Nokia phones)
- 1 Gb Mobile MMC
- Navicore software
And you can transfer your licence to N800 if you want to ...
Go to Expansys and search for 770 Navigation

Re: Navicore purchasers?
 
I have 2 N800. Can I buy one Nav. Kit and install Navicore on both N800 and use the same LicenseCode?

fredoll 2007-10-23 08:57

Re: Navicore purchasers?
 
I don't think so : The software checks the licence on Navicore's web site ...

This is from navicore personal manual:

"...According to the licensing terms of Navicore Personal, it is allowed to use the program on only one Internet Tablet at a time. To prevent unauthorised copying, the product is linked to your Internet Tablet device during license activation. You can transfer the license to a new Internet Tablet by following the instructions below:
The Navicore Personal licence can be transferred to a new Internet Tablet, but note that you first need to deactivate the license from the Internet Tablet that is currently using the same license
Go to Navicore: About product > Deactivate license. The license key is deactivated using a network connection and released to be activated with a new Internet Tablet.
Transfer your Navicore Personal memory card to the new Internet Tablet, install Navicore Personal and start the application.. Navicore Personal automatically prompts you to re-activate the product with your license key.
Note that the number of times the license may be transferred to another Internet Tablet within a month is limited
The End User License Agreement does not allow the use of the product with two or more Internet Tablets simultaneously. If such use is desired, all devices involved must have a separate licence..."

Re: Navicore purchasers?
 
The licence can be deactivated from one device and activated on the other at choice, I had a N800 that had been stolen with a navicore licence from my old n770 and Navicore support transferred the licence from the stolen device to the old one again immediately. Very nice support.
The limit is that you cannot use Navicore on both devices at same time, as perfectly explained by jaros quoting the manual. The verification of the key is made online, and so for transferring the licence from one device to another you have to be connected. There is some sort of DRM that check licence serial and associate it with your device (perhaps with the mac address of the device)

Re: Navicore purchasers?
 
i'll try this thread.

it seems like wayfinders license will be a 3 year license.
as far as i know the navicore one i bought few months ago was indefinite.
you can punch in navcore lic into wayfinder, to unlock the features but will it expire in 3 years? (not that i think i will be still using it :D )

Does the car holder for the 770 fit the N800?

I thik here is the answer (posted by Gnubbel)
"...the old "770" carholder (CR-81) does not fit to the n800. For the n800 you need the (CR-86) adapter which is not available right now.."

Re: Navicore purchasers?
 
Thanks! it looks like there are plenty of 3rd party options going cheap on ebay though so it isn't really a problem.

I think I'll buy it, but expansys only has Northern Europe and Southern Europe versions available. I'm in the UK and also need it to work in France. I called expansys and they don't seem to know what countries northern/southern covers.

Does anyone have any clues about that? or whether the license will let me use UK/France maps in wayfinder anyway?

Cheers, Evan.

You can convert and edit POI-files (e.g. originally for TOMTOM) in the format for the navicore software. Navicore extension editor

I don't think that they will release an update for OS2007 when we can update in December to OS2008, with a new version of the navicore-software (then from wayfinder) included.
