TY ! This is the reason cause of my HD doesn't see the TMC ...I'm using 8.3.1.57021 ...:mad:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nikkel:
Kdomo,

DON'T try my version, previously message said my version don't know the TMC hardware ! :mad:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nikkel:
Be true ... But I read a lot about for it, and many peoples said, detect the TMC depend from IGO version and map. And the V8.3.1 57021 version sorry but doesn't know the TMC hardware. More than a week using my HD with this IGO version .....
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Bacardi Man:
There is a skin for the "old" version of iGo8 (8.0.xxx), which support 800x480. It's called "iGO8 Ultra skin (v5.02) with high resolution 800x480!". As I do not know if it's allowed to post links to other sites, just copy the name to google.

Unfortunately I am not able to get it going. Maybe some of you have ideas on how to apply this skin?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ascenca83:
Hy guys

Every time I try to start iGo v8.3.1.57021 only the start screen appears (a message appears in the lower right "INIT API") and then the start screen gos aways again. After this I cant start iGo anymore unless I soft-reset my device.

I installed iGo from the SDcard with autorun.exe and edited the sys.txt like said in post #4.

Hope somebody has soe advice for me! Would be very thankfull!

Ascenca
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nikkel:
Don't run autorun.exe ! Run from igo8 home igo8.exe directly ;) If your sys.txt

correct it can run well ...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ascenca83:
but the igo8.exe will only be created after I run the autorun.exe (installation of the program).

Am I doing an error in reasoning?

Has someone a step by step installation readme or something like that?

Thanks in advance!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MHoefler:
iGO8 exiting after "Init API" is a license issue! Use a different license file (can be found all over the net) and it will work fine. No changes to the sys.txt needed for this issue.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:

"If you have a speedcam.txt file , then it may take a few minutes til igo covert the .txt to .spud. Be patient, or just take a .spud file."

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] vangrieg:
Regarding the TMC issue, I have no way to test this as there's no TMC in my area, but if your navigation program detects a TMC receiver but no signal maybe this is just an antenna issue? Does plugging in a headset help?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gergy:
Indeed, TMC should be tested with the headset plugged (=antenna). On my Eten G500, iGo searches stations, and for each station checks for TMC information. If no TMC data is found, it goes to the next station, until it finds one with TMC. It then (eventually) download any relevant traffic information.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nikkel:
Hmmmmm ... Don't see in it 800x480 skin .....:mad: and old 06/16/08 .....
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] david-v:
Well, the thing is, you cannot even manually search for a station. It stays at 0.0 Mhz, NoTMC signal. If you plug in the earpiece nothing different happens. It could be the version of IGO8 though. I am using the 8.0.x, which is the only one that natively has 240x400 support. The newer version does not have 240x400 yet. there are skins available but they all have bugs and the screen looks awfull with buttons half out of the screen.

I could try to get a version of IGO8 which is know to work well with TMC and try it. Will keep you guys informed about this...

edit: the TMC settings of my IGO8 are:

[tmc]

saved_config_available="1"

saved_config_classname="RDS_GPSTMC_SILICONLAB"

saved_config_portname="COM"

saved_config_port="3"

saved_last_tuning_mode="0"

This is what IGO8 made of it when it searched for a TMC device

Hi!

I cannot start on my touch hd igo8. I have replaced my sys.txt which is on the first page but it doesnt work. What should i do?

Can someone write the steps down?

Thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] david-v:
Which version of IGO8 are you trying to install and what happens when you start it?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Bacardi Man:
I was referring to that file:

http://uploaded.to/?id=zhx4f1

But as mentioned before, whenever I try to apply this skin, I keep getting an error message telling me, that the "voice_sound_delays.ini" can't be found/opened. (Yes, I have the file in the content/audio folder)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] hydrox:
I tried that version: Nav N Go iGO v8.3.1.57021

I click to start but nothing happens, there is no freezing, igo not start.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Tirinoarim:
Just tried it for myself and it doesnt work! The "Set Device Orientation" setting doesnt seem to make a difference. Looks like you have to fix the resolution in SYS.TXT for HD. If you have 8.3.2, get the v8 Fixed DATA.ZIP and use the following SYS.TXT files:-

Landscape

Portrait
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Tirinoarim:
Just a couple of suggestions:-

1. have you tried enabling A-GPS?

2. Is QuickGPS installed/up-to-date

3. Is you Phone time correct?

4. Are your regional settings correct?

All these have a factor in obtaining and maintaining a decent and accurate GPS lock.

Good luck

Hi David

You sound like you know your stuff and can answer most of the questions being posed in this thread.

Considering how long this thread has become and the fact that it seems to be growing only with the same questions being asked again and again, would it be possible for you to write a few sentences and perhaps a few links to relevant files (e.g. data.zip, sys.txt) and getting a mod to put these into the very first post?

The first post can then just be edited every time a new version of data.zip (for example) becomes available.

Just a suggestion, thanks for sparing your time to help us newbies!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Tirinoarim:
do you have a "igo8/content" folder? how big is it?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] phil_rouge:
yes with inside :

building, dem, lang, map, poi, speedcam, voice folders
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] X3Cutor:
Yes, yes, yes and yes.

Time-to-fix isn't really a big deal, I can always wait a few seconds for the fix to stabilize. The Sirf III was a lot quicker to get a fix with A-GPS but since I can get one in 10-15 seconds with the HD that's not much of an issue. The difference between 5 seconds and 15 seconds is still only 10 seconds (yes my old Eten consistently got a fix in around 5s in open conditions with AGPS).

The issue is the consistently weaker signal strength and thus accuracy of the fix (esp. in a city environment where buildings are an issue) and the fact that it lags! I'm still hoping this is an iGO8-issue but I'm not having that much trust in Garmin, Navigon and TomTom making any huge difference. Anyway, iGO8 is the software I prefer so not being able to use that as well as on my old buggy phone is of course a letdown.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] demo1987:
Yes I have. To be exact I have the following folders:

Building, Dem, Lang, Map, Phoneme, POI, Scheme, Skin, Speedcam, Texture, Userdata, Voice

And it's size is 914 MB

And you're data.zip is not working

Hi !

I'm using Igo 2008 (V 8.3) on my HTC HD since a few day.

Everything is working very well exept that i've got a time lapse beetween my actual position and the position shown on the screen (about 50 to 100 meters). I tried several graphics parameters but it's still there...

I'm using the 480x800 landscape standard skin

Any ideas about that ?

thx a lot !
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] david-v:
That is normal. See the lag thread on this forum as well. In a nutshell, all PDA's will show that kind of lag. The software used might apply "smart" tricks to smoothen that out, but it will have some lag nonetheless. If you don't want lag, you will need a GPS receiver much more powerfull and with a figure more in the price tag than the GPS chips used in our devices :)

First of all I would like to say a GREAT THANK to all of you who made it possible to install and use Igo8 3.2.64873 on my brand new HTC HD.

Just one little problem , I've downloaded two skins (ultra5_02kikker and GJ4.5) but when I try to change the skins in the "MENU" the "Thème" button stays "grey" (no reaction or possibility to click on it)???

Just a little heads-up for people upgrading their version of IGO 8.

I started out with a 8.0.0.x version, and wanted to upgrade to the 8.3.2.X version. But for some reason, whenever I tried to run the new version, it crashed after the INIT API flashed on the bottom right of the splash screen.

After a LOT of digging around, I saw that in the registry, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IGO was a registry key referring the software to the

old installation of IGO

. Once I changed the key to the newly installed directory, it worked.

FYI.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ujkadusko:
Bevare of data.zip v8!

Ok.So I had IGO 8.3.2 with datazip.V.5 perfectly working.Then,of course I had to play and changed datazip.V5 to V8.Afterthat,I am constantly getting Error masage"Program application database cannot be found.Please insert original application Sd card".I tried everything.Reversed to old datazip which worked before,erased everything and reinstaled again,cleaned all igo files from Windows,changed sys text Sd card line...You name it,every tip I could find over internet.I even changed licency file and nothing.I am still geting same masage.I thing that igo left some key in Windows when I installed 8.3.2 for the first time(I had before that 8.0 and I eresed it and installed 8.3.2 without any problem).Anybody had same experience?Any thoughts how to solve a problem?:confused:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] JJ57:
Thanks for those precisions boba.

As everything is working perfectly for me for the moment I prefer waiting for a WVGA skin ;) Changing the Sys.txt without knowing what else could also change makes me feel too afraid :(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] apd:
The registry key left from 8.0 can be found about 2 pages back. In the meantime, you can simply run Igo8 from the Storage Card\Igo8 directory - double click on Igo8.exe in that directory. To make it easier, create a shortcut to it in Windows\Start Menu\Programs.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ujkadusko:
I dont have anything in Registry now,I found them and deleted them and your way of running igo8 was my only way of running it since I could not find Igo8 icon in programs(I had that icon with igo 8.0).I still have a issue.What is confusing me is that I only replaced data.zip(I did not reinstaled complete program with new data.zip).When the error started I swiched back to old data.zip problem stayed.Then I erased everything and reinstaled from begining.I suspect that they implemented some cind of copy protection that you can install to phone only once same version of software.You can upgrade,but You can not reinstall(maybe the IGO8 is locking with IMEI number?).:confused:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] X3Cutor:
I'm quoting myself so you'lll know what I'm raving about. I've done a few preliminary testdrives with Tomtom and it's like it's run on a different GPS. Time-to-fix is the same, as is signal strength/numer of sats in view, but the lag is as good (low) as I've experienced it on any PPC including Sirf III-based. This is of course good news for general GPS'ing, now can anybody tell me wth is wrong with my iGO8? :D

This is my sys.txt, I've played around with a good amount of settings to no avail:

A few tips for people.

I was getting the error at the "initialising warning data" but I didn't realise it was an error on my own behalf. Firstly, disable any screen/power off functionality and then run igo. When it says initialising warning data make sure the screen stays active. I did this by touching it every 20 seconds or so... I did this for nearly 10 minutes at which point it then went into the next phase and loaded the program. It now loads much faster. The reason it takes ages is becaue it has to build a database and so you can expect it to take up to 15 minutes to load the first time you use it.

Also, My system.txt file is practically empty. I simply set it to identity as an xperia and it works flawlessly.

In fact, it was easier to get this working than tomtom!!
