wat on earth is Igo8??? :confused::confused::confused:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] unclesomebody:
with the latest roms featuring the new Manila I can't "find" a location. It always inputs the first character as an A with the circle on top (Aland I think?!?). Anyway, I'm sure I've seen the solution on here somewhere but I've tried searching just now and can't find it again. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Many Thanks

Thanks markusmuster.

Does anyone know of a non-GPS TMC receiver that works with the THD? Without one I can't get traffic on iGo8.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] syqe:
Nav N Go iGO 8

imo, the best navigation software around
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] JTHM:
I concur - it's still the best even if you consider:

the initial setup 'can' be a right royal pain and the software can appear a bit nerdy

the lack of a UK distributor

very few UK retailers (none of which stock the latest version - 8.3.x), and not many more international English-language retail websites

no traffic incident reports other than by TMC (seems there are next to no THD compatible TMC receivers)

tiny SD card which it is locked to, and

the relatively poor support of UK postcodes

In order to get the traffic support which I find essential I plumped for Copilot 7 which, though has traffic and full UK postcodes, is a bit poor by comparison and now I regret spending the money.

Imo TomTom Navigator 7 runs iGo8 a close second for the average user but then you have to consider TomTom's (lack of) supported devices and their Customer Persecution Departments (Customer disServices and no-Activations) which ultimately puts them into the category of "For the love of all that is right and good - don't go there! They don't deserve our money."
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] userOO2:
I had the same problem before. The easiest way to overcome is to rename the application.dat to iGO8.exe or mobilenavigator.exe.

But if u still want to install through 2577, then I need to know is there any other iGO folders on your HD. May be the 2577 you have is for 8.3.2.6xxxx or 8.0 and then u r trying to install on 8.3.2.7xxxxx. Or vice versa.

Hope this might help :)

Hello all,

UK postcodes

For people who want full postcode support in the UK, and are running the latest 10th March Igo8, I have found that only two UK maps work.

Navteq: UnitedKIngdom83, dated 2.2.2009, 64.7MB

or

Teleatlas: UnitedKingdom7PPC, dated 9.2.2009, 93.4MB

With the correct 10th March igo8, exe, branding and data, Igo8 works perfectly with the HD. No more stretched icons or menus etc...

iGO8 and wrong GPS positioning

Hello all,

I have iGO8 on my HD (italiam TIM Rom) and I have a problem.

Often, the dot that represents my current position does not coincide with that of the arrow. Many times if this small dot falls on a side street, the system behaves as if I had actually embarked on this cross and the screen changes to the new direction. Of course, then everything is restored but at times the screen seems crazy.

With TomTom 7.915.9196 everything is OK, is fluid, it can determine with great accuracy my position, also lock really fast, no lag.

The photo-gps of my HD have very precise coordinates. So I conclude that GPS is OK.

The same problem was found on an Omnia and was solved by changing the properties of GPS from a "Standalone" to "MS-Based".

Any idea, I love iGO8 and I do not want to abandon it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] looby:
iGO 8..

Have you got the 'Keep position on Road' ticked in Settings/Navigation?

I don't understand why my GPS works very well with camera (geotagging) and with other software like TT7 and doesn't work with iGO8. In my opinion, but it is only a sensation, I have to modify some internal GPS parameters but I don't know how to do this and if it is possible.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] syqe:
In iGO settings you can change that. If the settings are using system rotation, try starting iGO on landscape.

I don't believe it auto-rotates in-app, it starts with the rotation set.

Just wait! the first time are necessary until 10-15 min for the starting. The next starting will be fast.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Shetlander:
"initializing warning data" is the program dealing with speedcam warnings. On the first load it can take upto 15 mins to start. Just wait.

As for your sys file, you are telling the program it is a vga device and yet to start in landscape mode with the dimensions of 800 x 480.

This is my sys file and works perfect -

did I miss anything

trying to get TTS to work on my IGO 8 Blackstone. I am currently running 8.3.2.64029, I have tried some other versions, not sure if they were any newer but. I am also running dutty's 2.0 extreme with quickmenu, manilla and voice command etc. I haven't tried anything with sys.txt being that I figured it dealt with the resolution problem and not the tts thing, please correct me if I am wrong. I have tried disabling the above mentioned items, soft resetting the device and running without any extra feature looking at my task manager, disabling biotouch and everything else I could disable and igo works fine. Except TTS doesn't work. At the regional screen, dave says have a nice trip when I click on him, susan TTS beeps but doesn't say a word! I have tried other voice files in susan's place, I think all the voice files are in place, but all do the same Anyone see anything I missed, didn't try?

thanks for the help, I finally got a version of the 8.3.2.71348 that had the tts voices added already and then put my content on the device. I also am using the sys.txt that niels_90 posted a little earlier on page 105 post number 1049. This has gotten me a reliable igo with tts and great resolution. Excellent. I have always like Garmin Mobile XT and in some ways I still do, maybe the usability is one thing I liked about Garmin, and I havn't had a chance to see if igo stacks up. BUT TTS is a feature I'm very happy to see and the more fluid map, and the topo and building features are good as well. Lets see if it takes me where I need to go. Thanks everybody

Yes, iGo 8 is equipped with internal RDS Radio capable of TMC messages. I got iGo8 to recognize the internal radio as a TMC receiver. However, the autotuning does not work and neither the manual tuning of the radio frequency. It is stuck at 0.0 MHz...

I got iGo8 to recognize the internal radio by adding in the sys.txt file the following:

[tmc]

saved_config_available="1"

saved_config_classname="RDS_GPSTMC_SILICONLAB"

saved_config_portname="COM"

saved_config_port="3"

Help Please - Multiple maps on one sd card.

Hi Everyone,

I have a problem. I tried to find answer in another forum but no success so I thought I would try here. Hope that's ok.

I am a complete newbie I have iGO8 v8.3.2.70321 (Techrific Way) on my HTC Cruise and have downloaded Australia, US and UK maps stored on separate SD cards. I am about to travel to US and UK. My question is 'is it possible to have maps of all the countries on one SD card?' I have put them all together but only Australia shows up.

I even tried with version 8.3.2.83157 (that was suggested by someone) but that didn't work. All the maps work fine on a separate SD cards using the same version of iGO 8.3 but when I place all the maps on one SD card only one of the countries (Australia) shows up for selection??? It's got me stuffed!!!

I would appreciate and will try all suggestions.

Thanks Dave
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Matterhorn:
I have seen USA and Europe running on the same card. I'm not sure, but it could be the type of license that you have on the cards. You could try putting both licenses together (if they are different). You have to copy over all of the files including buildings, maps and POIs.

Hi,

does somebody know how to override the screen-lock of the system? I set the system to lock after 5 minutes...so that also happens when running igo
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] JLowe:
Is there any possibilitiy to blank the screen while routing (Audio)?

If you switch off the screen with power button you are in suspend mode, that means GPS is off.

If you install a display off program, you can't blank the screen in Igo. The screen always goes on.

Igo leeches the battery with screen on. So if there's a way to turn the screen off while using Igo with audio-routing the battery last longer.

Where are the Igo Pros? ;)
