A couple of days ago, a good friend of mine called me asking for my help. He said that I was the only one that could help him. He received a GPS device from the UK and he wanted to update it so he could use it in Cyprus. I had no idea what these things were running on and if they could be moded. This seemed like a challenge and a cool project to work on. After some ‘googling’ and some forum searching, I knew what I had to do.
In this post I will show you what I did to hack this device and add maps for your country. Also this post will help users from Cyprus to have a working GPS device with Cyprus’ map.

If you are using multiple computers weekly (or even daily) and you want to have your bookmarks, saved passwords and even your form data always available with you, then Weave is for you! Mozilla Weave is a Firefox 3 extension that is filling up for the discontinued ‘Google Browser Sync‘ extension and expanding the ‘Foxmarks‘ extension. As their website states:
“As the Web continues to evolve and more of our lives move online, we believe that Web browsers like Firefox can and should do more to broker rich experiences while increasing user control over their data and personal information.”
In this post I will show you how to set up Weave on your own server if you don’t want to store these kind of information on mozilla’s servers. Also since Weave is still beta you won’t be able to get an account and sometimes syncing is unavailable.
