Here's how to unlock it so you can use the Windows functions and below that instructions on putting POIWarner onto it and getting speed camera data loaded onto that. Thanks to gpspassion for the original starting point as well as Sol Puerto for further help it getting the right files in the right place and the majority of these instructions.

Connect the device to your PC via active synch.

1 Move to the folder called \Mnav
2 Rename the mnavdce.exe to mnavdce_old.exe
3 Copy "regedit.exe" from the .zip file and paste into the \Mnav and rename it "mnavdce.exe
4 Copy "modified.reg" into the "Mnav" folder on the device
5 Soft reset your device
6 When the device reboots it will automatically launch Regedit. Click "File | Import" and then locate the "Mnav" folder in the files and folders selection list and double click to open. You will see the "modified.reg" file copied in step 4, double click to import.
7 Delete the renamed "regedit.exe (e.g. mnavedce.exe) in \mnav (or rename it)
8 Rename the "mnavdce_old.exe" back to "mnavdce.exe
9 Copy "showtaskbar.exe" from the .zip file and paste into \Windows\Startup
10 Locate "explore.exe" in the \windows folder, right click and select "Create Shortcut". Cut the "Shortcut to Explore.Exe" file that is created as a result and paste into \Windows\Desktop. Repeat this process for "MNAVDECE.exe located in the "Mnav" folder and "MP3Player.exe" located in \Windows

Finally reset your device once more with the stylus and it will boot to the WinCE desktop with shortcuts to the three applications you had before
