Magellan's RoadMate 1470 dash-mounted GPS navigation device is thin at 0.7-inch wide with a sizable 4.7-inch touch-screen display for easily viewable direction planning. Hacking, or unlocking features, on the device was difficult to perform until the summer of 2010, when the company released a new software upgrade for the 1470. Now, just download a desktop program called Content Manager and the upgraded software to unleash all your new maps and points of interest.
Turn on your Magellan RoadMate 1470 and your Web-ready computer, then connect the two with your USB cable.

Hello all we have been forgotten so i don't think where not going to get too much help. 1st to all the people looking to make there SD card work with new maps. Give up it's never going to happen. Install mio poket and use the maps there. or igo For us Fools (myself inc) that have wiped out the os on the roadmate 1200 I have been able to get the unit up and running to be able to push buttons and file system that's as far as I got. what we need are screen shots. If anyone with a working 1200 can take a screen shot of the file system (tfat) so we can put the right files back this would be a great help words are good but photo's are better. mabey with this info we can get some where . PS this is what worked for me see below. Originally Posted by HarryA View Post Hi, I had a problem with Magellan RoadMate 1200. I had this navigation with empty memory, when its start show me SysView. I try to debug file WINCEIMG.BIN and ........ found solution ! It's very simple. I used a SD-CardReader in my PC. Ok, lets run ... 1). Format or clean SDMMC Card (min 64MB) 2). Make in root folder of SDMMC Card file 'GC333AutoRun.inf'. Contens of this file is: open=APPmgnShell.exe 3). Make in root folder of SDMMC Card folder named 'APP' 4). Copy to this folder all files from the backup file of memory (I have this file) 5). Insert SDMMC Card into RoadMate 6). Turn on RoadMate and reset RoadMate starts with WinCE, then starts file 'mgnShell.exe' from 'APP' folder of SDMMC Card. 'mgnShell.exe' file is a main module of communication subsystem. Now you can connect USB cable to RoadMate and to your PC. RoadMate is working as USB Storage ! In Windows XP 'My Computer' environment RoadMate's memory is shown as two removable discs: - first is TFAT or TFAT32 labeled - second is without label Use Copy/Paste method to copy all necessary files to RoadMate. This is why i can go no farther --WHAT FLIES DO WE COPY??????? What are the necessary files??? Good luck for everyone ! HarryA (Hope never die)
