Problems with Becker Z 100 Crocodile and solutions
Hey!
These few days I have been playing around with Z 100 Crocodile GPS system. I had few problems with it, so I’m writing this post to help others who could have the same problems!
1) After I unpacked navigator from box and wanted to install Content Manager software from CD – CD just didn’t wanted to load on my PC.
Don’t be scared if this happen to you too, just go to http://mybecker.com and download newest Content Manager software. If on CD I had Content Manager v1.0, then from web site I downloaded Content Manager 2.0. Just fallow the link and search under “SERVICE RELEASE 2″. By the way, I later tested this CD on my Macbook and it worked – strange things going on here… Anyway, it’s better to download newest version from WEB 
2) After I installed software, registered and connected navigator it automatically showed up, that I can update firmware on GPS. I updated and then I wanted to update navigator maps, because there were only 2008 year’s. So if you: registered, signed in, connected your GPS and if it’s new or haven’t been used software will show up that you have one new update. Update is called something like “Free update for 45 days”. At the beginning I thought that these maps will end after 45 days of using, but no – this is free 45 day update where you get map updates for free. So I downloaded 1,7gb and clicked to install – and boom, error, and software closed. ( Runtime Error C + + Library for …./CM2.exe ). Programs written on MS and for MS rox, huh? Ok, I restarted program, and again – as soon as navigator is connected or button to install update clicked error pops out and program closes. Then I started to search online and find answer on one German forum: http://forum.pocketnavigation.de. Unfortunately I don’t know German language, I used Google Translate – but anyway, it was pain in the a**. So that’s why I’m writing this post
