Unless your friend has blanked the memory card the software should still be on that. Although you will generally need the activation code that comes with whatever software you have.

If you were using a GPS programme with mapping, there MUST have been a SD Card with the mapping, they are TOO BIG to fit on the internal memory of the Mio.

You need to get the SD Card from your friend, find your CD's or buy new mapping.
