VisualGPS
VisualGPS is a shell and unlock for Mio devices. Normaly, on MioMoov, you only have your GPS software (MioMap 2008). With unlock, you can benefit from the fact that most nav devices use Windows CE (a version of Windows Mobile that doesn't have all applications, desktop and today screen) and that they can run other software as well. With unlock, you can use almost all other navigational (GPS) programs, such as Garmin, TomTom, iGO or Destinator.
One part of the Shell is on the Flash Disk (internal GPS memory), while the installation scripts and unlocks that are not needed once the system boots, can be either on Flash Disk or on SD card (to save space on Flash Disk). The card can also be used as a trigger to start the boot process so you don't have to modify anything on your GPS' Flash Disk.
VisualGPS should run on all Mio Moov devices, Mio Spirit and on some Mio DigiWalker (C) devices. It might even run on certain non-Mio brands. What is required is that you have device with Windows CE and 480x272 resolution screen. TomTom and Garmin devices are Linux-based and, therefore, can't run VisualGPS. But in reality, VisualGPS was tested only on European Mio Moov 360, European Mio Moov 330 and European Mio DigiWalker C520. If you get it to run on another device (mio or non mio) feedback would be appreciated. You will need approx. 130Mb free space on your device for Visual GPS, plus additional 30Mb (either on SD card or flash disk) if you want to install additional wallpapers.
VisualGPS comes with several freeware programs, not as much as other unlocks, because we are running this on nav device, and most of these programs are hard to use without buttons or stylus. I tried to include only essential software and utilities; i.e. audio and video media players, picture viewers, word, excel, powerpoint and pdf viewers, book reader, etc. Also included are several GPS utilities. You can set paths to nav programs direcly from the shell and you can also set wallpapers and volume. The buttons are big on purpose so you can press them while driving ;-)
Now, the cool thing about Visual Shell is that it is very customizable. As you can see from the screenshots below, you can completely change it's appearance in a couple of seconds! All without the need to know complex skinning. Just select the combination of button design and wallpaper you like the most. But that's not where it ends. You can make it as big or as small as you like. If you are GPS nerd, you can install up to 60 different GPS navigation programs! If you need office apps or multimedia apps, you can have those screens. If you like to play games, you can have games screens. But what if all you want to do is run one GPS program? No problem! Visual Shell can be as big or as small as you wish:

i.e. \Storage Card\Cobia_420_64
Note: filenames are case-sensitive!!!
If, for whatever reason, this does not work, or your device is not listed, read the firmware version listed (usually in white on black text) when you boot the device up (push the on/off/reset knob to the "reset" position and then push it back to "on") and use the first code that comes after "Cobia." I.e., Moov 360 firmware starts with "COBIA 420", so the folder should start with "Cobia_420" (note the capitalized first letter, the following lower-case and the underscore). After that, for most devices, comes the amount of internal RAM, "_32" for 32MB devices and "_64" for 64MB devices. Finally, North American models append "_NA" on the end and Australian models append "_AU" on the end.
* Depending on your device, rename Visual.auto folder on SD card as specified:
