My headunit never game with a SD card that had the maps preloaded. From what I understood it was supposed to have the maps on it from Ctobay but I have not heard back from them and I sent out an email a couple weeks ago.
Just wondering if any of you had to download the maps yourself and if so where did you get the maps from and how was it setup? I found some downloadable stuff online but I'm not sure if I should try that or upgrade to a more reputable GPS service like Garmin, if that's possible.

1st of all downloading Garmin into the Hualingan is illegal (in nature) it's like pirated software. So not everyone welcomes this idea. I got my a__ whipped when I entered a map forum asking help on this. My account got blocked
That however didn't stop me from downloading and using Garmin because iGo (the official GPS OS of the Hualingan) does not support the available map in my country hence I have no choice but to install a pirated Garmin Mobile XT application so that I can run the GPS. Garmin does not need to get mad at me because - It's crap! This is due to the low on-board memory of HL. Therefore I don't even bother turning it on becasue it screws up all the other functions of the HL when the memory has been maxed out. Most of the crucial Garmin capabilities cannot run due to HL's low on board memory. I still have to figure out how to increase the HL's RAM. (Help!!!)
My point is, the Hualingan was built for iGo, if iGo has maps for your country then use iGo. From the reviews I've read, it's a fairly good GPS OS.
(BTW, maps are free unlike the Garmin and iGo app. and can be downloaded/ used by anyone)
