Quick Facts
- Program 6.25 was called “unfinished”; 6.24 + PL map 1808 runs stably on this device. [Elektroda, jajacekpl, post #17501022]
- Keep 6.24 and add map 1808: run 6.25.1 installer, choose Advanced, uncheck Program, update Map only. [Elektroda, ta_tar, post #17505519]
- With a legal license, 6.25 works; cracked builds crash; set maximum memory on first run to improve stability. [Elektroda, wojtek1234321, post #17847106]
- Common 6.25/6.25.1 symptoms: white screen, frozen display with voice, fatal _wceAm.exe error (3 modes). [Elektroda, SKuba64, post #17847048]
- Map 1902 is available; verify the map version you select during updates. [Elektroda, ta_tar, post #17847077]
Why does Automapa 6.25.1 crash on Mio Spirit 7500 LM?
Users report instability in program 6.25. A contributor wrote, “6.25 is unfinished. Return to 6.24 and add the 1808 map.” Rolling back improves reliability on the Mio Spirit 7500 LM. [Elektroda, jajacekpl, post #17501022]
How do I roll back to 6.24 and keep the 1808 map?
Use the Advanced installer to update maps only while keeping 6.24.
- Install 6.24 clean with map 1806. Activate and finish setup.
- Launch the 6.25.1 installer. Choose Advanced. Uncheck Program. Select map 1808.
- Complete installation. You now run 6.24 with map 1808. [Elektroda, ta_tar, post #17505519]
Will downgrading this way risk my Automapa license?
If you have a license and follow the process above, you keep it. The guidance starts with, “If you have a license…” Activate 6.24 first, then perform the map-only update. [Elektroda, ta_tar, post #17505519]
What does the “Application _wceAm.exe encountered a serious error” message mean?
It indicates the Automapa executable crashed and forced a shutdown. The fault appears during driving at irregular intervals, from a few to several hundred kilometers. [Elektroda, 1808, post #17500872]
What symptoms should I expect with the 6.25 issue?
Users describe three failure modes: white screen with a blue road, frozen display while voice guidance continues, and a fatal error with shutdown. Tapping Menu, then returning, may unfreeze it for minutes. [Elektroda, SKuba64, post #17847048]
How do I start navigation after loading a saved route?
After loading the route, tap the white arrow on the main screen. When the small window opens, tap the start arrow to begin navigation. [Elektroda, wojtek1234321, post #17505830]
Why doesn’t navigation start after loading a route?
Check GPS settings. Enable “Run on startup” so GPS initializes automatically. Without a GPS lock, the app shows the route but will not guide. [Elektroda, ta_tar, post #17505740]
How can I reduce freezes on 6.25/6.25.1 without downgrading?
Try a clean install and set maximum memory on first run. Open Settings and push memory sliders to maximum. Some devices stabilize after this change. [Elektroda, wojtek1234321, post #17847106]
Why do I get “map incorrectly registered — register the map” on old program + new maps?
This appears when the new map is not registered for your installation. Users who tried new maps on an old program saw this message and could not continue. [Elektroda, SKuba64, post #17847048]
What’s the latest map version mentioned, and should I use it?
The thread notes map version 1902 is available. If you use 6.25.1, ensure you select the desired map version during installation. [Elektroda, ta_tar, post #17847077]
Do cracked Automapa builds cause these crashes?
Yes. “Legal, with a legal license works perfectly,” while cracked builds exhibit freezes and errors. Use a licensed install to avoid added instability. [Elektroda, wojtek1234321, post #17847106]
Why does routing go “through fields” after a big detour on old maps?
Old maps miss newer roads. During long detours, AM may route across missing segments and then fail. Updating to newer maps reduces this risk. [Elektroda, SKuba64, post #17847048]
Is the crash timing predictable on 6.25.1?
No. Reports show the error appears irregularly. It can occur after a few kilometers or after several hundred. [Elektroda, 1808, post #17500872]
