Is anyone into hacking/modding a GPS?
I was given an old Magellan Maestro 4000 yesterday, and I've been reading up on how to modify it to improve it's functionality. Since it runs WindowsCE, it's pretty simple to modify.
This site got me started. Anyone familiar with administrating Windows OSes would find it easy to do.

So far I've changed the exe that it starts on boot to softbutton.exe, added a media player and a lot of other tools to learn my way around WinCE, but that's about it.
My ultimate goal is to install a better Navigation application than the one that it comes with from the factory. Something like iGo8 maybe, but there I encounter issues. Has anyone else done this?
I also posted more info on this GPS forum: http://www.gpspassion.com/FORUMSEN/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=135779
Cheers,
