Bryton Bridge 2 Software
Of slightly limited interest to those that don’t have one – but has anyone had any success tinkering with the Bryton 50? It’s a Windows CE Core 5.0 device (looking at the license on the back of the DVD sleeve).At the moment, you can’t add the old OSM-based maps with Bryton Bridge 2, which is a serious PITA as I bought an older version without the Navteq maps.The directory structure on the DVDs looks pretty straightforward, although there is also an MD5 checksum.
As I don’t have a DVD drive on my (work) PC, I’ve copied across the folders from the DVDs to my HD for the time being.I have the original SD card with maps of Israel, and the file structure looks pretty straightforward, with a tiny XML file at the top that lists the map, country, origin (Open Street Maps and Open Cycle Map) et cetera.Has anyone had any luck either manually building maps folders on the SD card, or importing upgraded versions of OSM? OK, if you’ve the latest firmware and Bryton Bridge 2, there’s no way of getting maps on an SD card.However, if you go onto the Bryton itself, there are a bunch of files onboard that should auto-install the original bridge software when you originally plug in the device.I copied all of these files over to my PC (not necessary, but you can do it in the background and then run the install quicker) and installed the original BrytonBridge alongside BrytonBridge2. I quit BB2 and shut down its taskbar app that monitors for attached Bryton devices so as not to send anything squirrelly.At the moment, I’m using it to grab maps from the DVD and put them on the SD card. Works a treat so far – fingers crossed.One other thing I noticed from digging around – that xml file has a default location for when the map initially starts up:If you’re firing up your Bryton in Israel, the default location appears to be a B&B in Jerusalem. П˜€By changing those two numbers, you can set your default location to your house, the local bike shop / strip joint / pub / nearest smashing trail if you want.
OK, quick update. Maps installed OK – althoguh they have to be with the card in the Bryton, not in any old card reader. So it’s pretty slow, but hopefully you won’t need to do it much. You also need to use the DVD – you can’t point BB1 at the files copied from the DVD onto your hard drive. I’m going to try making a volume out of the files and mounting it with something like Diskimager to see if I can spoof the software at some point.I tried changing the Defloc (as it’s defaulting to somewhere in the Atlantic for me, when there’s no GPS lock) and it doesn’t work.
Back to the drawing board on that one. I recently bought this device – Bryton Rider 50.I’m interested in installing OpenStreetMaps and maps of other countries (that are not on DVD Brytoncorp)Here are instructions for replacing the country maps for more detailed maps –Translate.google not good. Maybe you will be able to understand well translated.To replace the need for programs (Mobile atlas creator 1.8, Tksqlite)I could not fully understand and do on the basis of the card replacement instructions (eg Israel maps on Russia maps)SD Card Maps Israel (Rider 50) –. Looks interesting. I’m going to try and copy across individual sentences and steps from that post to Google Translate when I have time.One thing: I’d be careful of uploading mapping stuff like that – it may well be owned by Bryton or licensed to Bryton, so you might be messing with someone’s copyright.I have checked with Bryton’s importers in the UK about buying the Ordnance Survey maps separately, by the way.

Apparently no plans to do so, but we can always just buy a new device from them instead.

AdvertisementLike, the Bryton Rider 20 uses GPS tracking to give you plug-and-play ANT+ enabled wireless data collection (including heart rate), with no need to calibrate for wheel size – a definite boon for technophobes. The unit sets up in seconds and displays current speed, max speed, average speed, total distance/trip distance, altimeter and calories burned.Customisable data screens mean you can display facts and figures in the way you want them, and in large type that’s easy to see on the move. The battery life says 24 hours, and we’ve had 20 before we fell asleep. Only the weird, dedicated-design non-USB charger is a worry, given the number of things we lose or break.
