Blaupunkt TravelPilot Lucca MP3 Edition GPS navigation system

lucca-blaupunkt-493.jpg
Don’t get your hopes up just yet. This is not offered in North America. If you live in Europe, you can continue reading. The TravelPilot Lucca MP3 Edition from Blaupunkt is supposed to be one of their high end GPS navigation systems. The Edition unit offers European street level mapping of 26 European countries pre-loaded onto the 2GB internal memory. A nice feature is the SmartCradle, an accessory which allows for a hard-wire connection from the device to the vehicle’s audio system for voice guidance avoiding any unsightly wires on the dash which also features speed dependent voice volume output (GALA).

TravelPilot Lucca comes with an anti-glare 3.5″ color touch screen display and can play MP3 or WMA files while navigating. The way to transfer music to your Lucca is to use the MMC/SD slot, and while you’re at it, fell free throw in some family pictures because there’s an JPEG picture viewer on board.

Here are some other features:

  • Integrated loudspeaker and GPS receiver
  • Display of traffic sign information
  • Route planning with multi-stop destinations
  • “Go Home” function
  • Speed limit warning (for fixed speed limits)
  • Maps can be viewed in 2D or 3D
  • Pedestrian mode: Take the unit out of your car and “walk the last mile”

    Hi

    I am from Europe and live in the sates since 1 year. Unfortunatly I was not able to buy a US map for my TravelPilot Lucca MP3 Edition from Blaupunkt. Blaupunkt US told me there is no DVD with US/Canader maps available which is very confusing due to the maps in the US devices are sold with US maps on SD memory card.

    Can anybody help me to find the US maps on a memory card or a DVD. Either buying or data exchange would be my options.

    thanks for the help

    Hi – can anyone tell me the difference between the UK version and the EU version of the Lucca MP3 Edition ?

    This refers to the letters on the original screen protection sticker which of course comes off when you start to use it.

    I would be extremly grateful if somebody could help me with map for the USA for this gadget.

  13. Joe Says:

    Hi !

    Does somebody know, where I get the US version of this travelpilot from Blaupunkt ?

    Germanies Blaupunkt headquarters doesn’t want to sell the US maps in Germany.

    Everyhelp is welcome.

    BEst,

  14. Ronnin Says:

    Help! I have one of these, but I need an update for it, as I am traveling to Germany and in 2 years there have been some changes on their autobahns. As far as I know, there was an update in 2007.


  15. poodles Says:

    Please help, I am looking for the latest european maps (Blaupunkt Travelpilot European Maps M1, M2 2007) for my travelpilot lucca MP3 edition – I have the US/Canada 2006/2007 map which I would trade…


  16. Peter Says:

    Joe,
    Unfortunately Blaupunkt does not sell nor distribute maps for this Global Positioning system and aparently they made them unique. The only chance to get any maps is if somobody can share or exchange with you.
    I tried to get hold a very nasty person Roberto with Blaupunkt but she is extremly unwelcome and not-friendly nor helpful.

    If somebody can share his/her maps of the USA please let me know, as you are the only chance:

  17. Pasquale Says:

    Hello Alessandro,
    create a folder namen NAVI on the card, create an epmty txt file named flash.txt. Put the files “lucca, mapdata, system and installlucca.exe” from the recovery dvd into the NAVI file. Unplug battery, insert card, press and hold INFO, plug the ac/dc adapter and wait – after OS Upgrade starts the SD CARD Upgrade. when not click on the start. Let it work. After all is done, restart and take out the card.

    Oke don’t know about empty flash.txt file, just leave it out…then follow upper instructions, but… not press and hold INFO, but MENU. You enter a factorymenu with an option Sdupgrate. Just press START and there you go…..at least it worked for me

    grtz

  41. sharX Says:

    I tried, but nothing is happening, it enters in updating menu: “OS Updating” only if “lucca, mapdata, system and installlucca.exe” are on the root of the card, and that’s all, it doesn’t start or something.


  42. sharX Says:

    anyone meet with this surprize?

    Please Help!

    My TravelPilot was acting up lately, so I wanted to reinstall the firmware from the DVD. I started the process, but half way through it, I accidentally switched off the unit. I restarted, but the only thing that shows up now is a screen I’ve never seen before that just says “SD Card Upgrade”, Start and Exit option, which neither do anything.

    Ideas how I can force it to reinstall the firmware again? I’ll trade US, Canada, and Europe maps for this info.

    Thanks.

    Hello, did you had any luck with finding a map for your Blaupunkt travel pilot.
    I am on vacation in the US an brought my Blaupunkt lucca travelpilot with me. Now I can not find a US map. That is ubelievable. Did you had any luck getting some files / a map for the US ?


  63. joeletaxi Says:

    Can anyone tell me where on the SD card to place extra maps I got from a torrent called “Blaupunkt Lucca Europe Maps v11 & v12.rar” at Piratebay.
    All there is in the download is 10 .map files for Europe – no instructions.
    Or is this all just a waste of space?


  64. Pieter Says:

    Hello Adrian,
