Blaupunkt TravelPilot Lucca MP3 Edition GPS navigation system
Published on September 29th, 2006 in gps navigation
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”
- Blaupunkt TravelPilot Lucca 3.5 Edition
- blaupunkt TravelPilot Lucca 3.4
- blaupunkt TravelPilot Lucca 5.2

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.

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.

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…
June 9th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
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:
nenechka at gmail dot and than there is com (antispam protection).
June 9th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Anyone have the european maps?
I have the US/Canada maps which we could exchange.
Thanks.

Hi Chaps,
I tried downloading the North American maps for the Blaupunkt Travel Pilot Lucca, but the links don’t seem to work.
Would somebody be able to leave the file at an FTP or other site where it can easily be downloaded?

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.
Bye

Thank you very much!

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

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.
September 9th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
anyone meet with this surprize?
September 22nd, 2008 at 10:24 am
can some one post me the maps for USA to an address in the United states? I am willing to reimburse you the same either by cash or by posting you a copy of the European edition.
I tried downloading the maps from Olivier on Torrent but the download stops after 680MB
