Thank You Arnisv.

I totaly missed Mio, it does look nice. I dont care about the 3d buildings, probably the first thing to turn off.

What Im after is a good looking GUI, a fast program, fast calculating routes and fast when updating the screen. Its also a must that it should be possible to enter a streets name befor the city. You cant do that with tomtom and in stockholm thats a real pain. Tomtom wont find an address if you only write Stockholm and the street name. You have to be more specific and enter that areas name intstead of Stockholm. Even if I live in Stockholm and have been around everywhere I still dont know all the area names or exact where their boundarys start and stop, and many times due to that Tomtom couldnt find the street.

Didnt find a downloadable trial version of iGO8. I would be very grateful if you could try if it works on the Xperia.

Thanks,

Miki
[XPERIA X1 General] arnisv:
igo8 has the same search like miomap.
[XPERIA X1 General] NEO130:
@mikiqtek, sorry for my poor english, but I write that you can run IGO8 on a PC to. That means, a lot of skinner are working for IGO8. And I see skins for your Xperia. You never write from a standart skin IGO. You write, can IGO8 run on Experia - And I say YES, because I read the skinnerforums. And my experience from PPC is about 8 years. I hope you find your answer.

[XPERIA X1 General] sonus:
The difference is 3D navigation with turn by turn voice directions, GUI optimised for driving, and full map sets, vs. a 2D map that only beeps at turns, is too complicated to truly read while driving, and has to be downloaded on the fly meaning it will not work if you enter an area with no service.

I am trying to. But I am having problems with the data.zip file. I can´t find the right data.zip with includes the 400_240 (or 240_400) folder running with the version of the iGO8.exe.

I got a small success with a copy of the 320_240 folder (in data.zip) renamed to 400_240 - but a part of the screen shows no program window...

Hi

I still have problems with igo on my x1. i loaded the skin from above and actualized both data.zip and sys.txt.

i see the start up screen for about 20 seconds then it crashes.

does anyone know where the problem is?
[XPERIA X1 General] tictac0566:
no problems occur while using the original and official NavNGo iGo 8 software release of the program which is downloadable through their content manager application - as the s/w was updated to officially support Omnia´s screen resolution, the solution described in this thread will work with an official and legal copy of the program, I assume.
[XPERIA X1 General] Paardekam.nl:
I tried both iGO2006 and iGO8 to run on my XPERIA X1 but unfortunately I did not get either one working, though both apps did work fine on my HTC P3300. I now use TomTom Navigator 7 and that runs just fine. That also uses the complete "screen real estate" resulting in fantastic map views, without stretching whatsoever. Hope this helps.
[XPERIA X1 General] jackleung:
Don't recall how to get everything working. IGO8 runs slowly w/ my Tytn II and ***Perfectly*** w/ X1 (w/ TTS too!)
[XPERIA X1 General] arnisv:
whot skin YOu use and sys config?

I only get landskape.
[XPERIA X1 General] DOMin8or:
just copy the skin as ZIP file to

\Speicherkarte\igo8\content\skin

select it in the menus. (and change sys.txt to vga)

(change 'Speicherkarte' into your language.... look with explorer what the name on your device is.)

if there is NO skin folder, just create one!

[XPERIA X1 General] VampiruX:
HI All,

This data zip doesn't work on my X1.

With last standard official update IGO data..zip and the following sys.txt :

If you use in landscape:

[interface]

resolution_dir="400_240"

vga=1

[rawdisplay]

class="landscape"

highres=1

screen_x=800

screen_y=480

If you use in portrait:

[interface]

resolution_dir="240_400"

vga=1

[rawdisplay]

class="landscape"

highres=1

screen_x=480

screen_y=800

Works very well but you cannot change the orientation of your X1, it is definitely lanscape or portrait.

Warning:

if you set in portrait and you change the orientation in the device menu, the buttons of the last line are out of the screen, so as they cannot be used, you cannot exit from IGO. You have to remove the SD card or soft reset the device but before restarting IGO modifying the system.ini file to reset to "portrait".

I am trying to solve this problem but NavNgo doesn't answer.

BR.
[XPERIA X1 General] romeo0119:
Mine works in either landscape or portrait, but the sys.txt has to be edited for it to work, so basicly you would have to pick either you want it on landscape or portrait and edit the sys.txt acording to what you want. Pm me if you need some help

iGO8 on my Xperia X1

Hi,

I bought iGO8 for my SamsungOmnia and now I bought a Sony Ericsson X1 but the microSD card i got from NavNGo doen't work on the Xperia. I contacted NavNGo but they don't know the Xperia X1 so they said they couldn't help me. Very frustrating since I bought the original iGO8.

Please try to help me!

Hi

After hours and hours of trying out of the blue sky it works for me now.

True, I had to take the data-all file mentioned earlier. but it worked. One thing made my system crash tough, you cant set prog language a and speech laguage b at the first start, that crashed me.

Now it crashed me after switching off....weird stuff.

I read in another forum about the tmc question. Anyone tried that yet?

Thx

I managed to install iGo 8 and everything worked fine. But after few days when I played with other stuff in phone i found out, that iGo starts with strange delay. It shows up loading screen, but it takes about 30+ sec before initialisation texts appear and loading starts for real.

Tried to delete Save folder, no difference (just have to scroll another minute through EULA) :(

EDIT Tried clean install wihout any content, no change. Tried resseting device - iGo loads in 15s with no delay before init text on main screen.

Does 8.0 work, or only 8.3? As I understand it, 8.0 is TeleAtlas and 8.3 is NavTeq. It also sound like there are some bitter clingers to 8.0. Any ideas why?
[XPERIA X1 General] kulla:
leave it for 10-15 min and it will be ok

initializing warning data means that iGo is creating db file for storage of warnings for cameras and it takes some time to complete import of the text file

that happens only first time when you start iGo

Updated data.zip v9a for iGO 8.3.2.64873, this does NOT work for older 8.0 versions or 8.3.2.64029

Includes the following resolutions:

240x240, 240x320, 240x400, 320x240, 320x320, 400x234, 400x240, 480x234, 480x272, 480x640, 480x800, 640x480 and 800x480

WVGA and QWVGA are modified and tested by me on a Xperia X1. Other resolutions I only tested visually and with a quick simulation, so please let me know if there are still bugs in these resolutions. I also made a new branding.zip without the annoying ads from naviextras, see download instructions.

Data.zip v9a

Rename to data.zip

Rename to branding.zip

Do note that this does NOT contain the application or any other map content.

I really missing something..

I just did a hard reset, I replaced the data & branding, I renamed the whole thing, But then it says it won't work because it can't find its application database.

I got version 8.3.2.64873 btw.

Also tried to use an 2577 map with an installer, doesn't work either..

someone has a light on this?

Hi, I have a strange problem with my Xperia and iGO8.3.2 . Startup logo appears and freezes for 90 seconds. And then loading continues normaly. Does anyone has a solution for this long startup? It's strange because iGO8.3.1 starts for seconds. Thanks in advance :)
[XPERIA X1 General] Mr Anderson:
To solve the long startup delay try backing up your device and then doing a hard reset plus restore (Sprite backup restored mine perfectly).

This worked for me and there is no startup delay now. :)
[XPERIA X1 General] EvoGlobe:
Hi,

i am not sure if your problem is fixed but i using also IGO 8 Version 8.3.2.64029

The first problems was the Resolution, if they are not correct it is not even Starting. After reading through all the forums i found a Solution how it is working in portrait and landscape. You can try this steps if it also applies to you.

1. If you have installed IGO on your Xperia, deinstall it first. Download the files Data Zip 9aa and branding.zip from this forum and replace it.

2. on your SD card modify the sys.txt with following.

[folders]

app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"

[interface]

vga=0

skin="ui_igo8"

[device]

type="ALIAS_XPERIA"

[debug]

skip_eula=1

3. Start one time from the SD card /iGo8/iGo8.exe - it should work now.

4. Go to SD card /2577/autostart.exe for installation.

5. Start it normaly from your Application.

Tip: After installation you have under Program files another sys.txt so it will use this one on the Phone and not on the SD card.

Now you can Start up, and swich to Landscape, it will restart in landscape and stay there. If you want to swich back, start up in Landscape and switch and restart IGO.

i Guess that is it. Runs great on my X1a, no problems at all.

Have Fun

I use it at 800x480, landscape mode, no lags and crashes.
[XPERIA X1 General] AlexDem:
What do you mean "pressing anything automatic"?

iGO automatic launches? You have to delete folder '2577' on storage card.
[XPERIA X1 General] darthmelk:
I also sent you a PM, can you please post your sys.txt and a link to your data.zip? What version of iGO 8 are you using?

Hi, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm a new guy here in this forum and also a newbie with Smartphones, PPCs etc. The SE Xperia I bought is a future gift to my wife and now I'm trying to set it up for her correctly.

I installed iGO 8.0 and 8.3.2. Both programs work OK.

What I have a problem with is the Bluetooth in her car. The BT in incorporated in the multimedia center with DVD and radio. When MMC detects XPeria received a call or the dial activated I can here and talk through BT, it's OK.

But iGO still talks though the X1's internal speaker.

How can I configure X1 and/or iGO to talk though the BT stereo in the MMC?

Should I install any specific software for that? Free or commercial...

Thanks for your support.
