Anyone knows if its possible to use the ready installed (internal storage) Copilot 7 maps on Compact IV
on another CoPilot version?

The installed CP7 is a demo version you need to register after 7 days. I would like to find a free version somewhere on the net, if possible, maybe older one, and then use the maps already on the phone.

Is that possible?!?

Thanks

Anyone knows how use the already installed maps - with a cheaper/older copilot version? T-Mobile version costs (Uk/ire) £49,-, which is not that bad, but still would like to know if could do it cheaper!

Thanks

Ok... the Copilot 7 trial is over. Started using it last Friday - and the '7' day trial period ended today... more like generous10 day trial!
Gave a real test driving from Manchester to London Heathrow teminal 5. Obviously term 5 is not on the maps as it isnt in most sat nav maps. But all in all worked fine, just once Birmingham it lost connection to the satellites and only started working after soft reboot the Compact IV. Then later driving the Toll road, it suddenly wanted me to exit, the map routing me out from the motorway and to return back next junction... of course I didnt follow that suggestion... can say all in all worked fine, and it led me near the exit at M25.
Still wondering if its worth paying the £49 for the Compact IV version or should I look for some else.... or a way to use the alrady installed maps...
