Stone wallpaper

Here is a macro picture which I took during my last mountain hike in “Elena”.

stone-1920x1200

Rarely something catches my eye in such details worth shooting, but this stone surface was unique. The pic was taken with my phone – LG G4 and ‘normalized’ with GIMP (Colors->Auto->Normalize). I made a wallpaper out of it, and it’s currently used on my desktop.

The wallpaper is available in the following sizes:

If you can’t find your size, drop me a comment and  I will see what I can do about it 🙂 Feel free to use the picture for whatever purpose  you see fit, just drop me a note or mention me as an author.

GoClever GC-4366FMBT firmware

After a long time of collecting dust I decided that I should resurrect my broken GPS navigation – GoClever GC-4366FMBT.

goclever_4366_fmbt_tmc_bBy resurrecting I mean removing GeoShell and the cracked Garmin using PortSplitter because of who my original Mireo GPS navigation wasn’t working. It was crashing on the “Attaching GPS…” message while loading.

Trying various methods to fix the problem all unsuccessful I finally decided that I should re-install the firmware of the GPS. After searching “past the first page of Google” (it was hell of a search and the trial and error method ) I finally found a suitable firmware for GoClever-GC4366FMBT, Mireo Black Edition 3.1 and the newest maps for Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Macedonia and Serbia. Now the GPS is working again 🙂

Here is how to re-install the firmware of the device (links for firmware download included) and how to setup the navigation software.

Firmware installation

1.Download GoClever-GC-4366FMBT-Firmware.zip and extract it.
2.Copy the contents of the archive on an SD card and insert the card in the GPS
3.Turn on the device. The device will boot and will start to update the firmware

Don’t forget to delete the firmware files from the SD card or next time you turn on the GPS the process will start again.

Mireo viaGPS v3.1 installation

After firmware installation the device will loose it’s GPS software ( it will do if you like me don’t do a backup of the ‘MobileNavigator’ folder from the ‘Resident Flash’ )

Download Mireo viaGPS Black Edition v3.1 (detailed map of Bulgaria included) extract the archive and rename the extracted folder ‘MobileNavigator’. Copy ‘MobileNavigator’ to your resident flash or SD card. Start the device and select Navigate. That’s it. You have a working GPS navigation with updated stock software and maps.

Here is an archive with detailed maps of Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Macedonia and Serbia as of 2012-06. If you look hard enough you will find complete map of Europe dating 2012-06.
