Hi all,

I have a HTC Touch Diamond 2 with WM6.1 with french operator (SFR) and Igo 8.3.2.64873.

has anyone worked out how to add custom poi icons?

has anyone worked out how to add custom poi icons?

just really confused here with compressed bmps and spr files, not sure what do with them.

by the way, installed iGO 8 on my navman satnav which highest resolution is just 400x272 and it gives a hell of a performance compared to HD. low res is the thing for the iGO.

Hello Jipe,

This is all you need in your sys.txt file. I have also a D2 and it works perfect. with this sys.txt file you can also rotate you screen in IGO self and you don't need to play with the sys.txt any more.

I'm having soooo much trouble with iGo.

I had it running fine before. 8.3.2.71348

However I couldn't get TMC working. The driver and app (HyperGPS) were working but not inside IGO.

So I embarked on an upgrade. I put on 8.3.2.83157. No matter what I try however I just can't get this going. It Installs O.K but then trips out. Much like it did in the early days when I was editing the sys.txt trying to get it going. I was under the impression though that the latest version doesn't require any editing of the sys.txt. I tried virgin install. That never worked so I tried a few alternative sys.txt's just to make sure. No joy. Whilst initializing it just bombs.

Please can any U.K user pass on which version is stable and with which branding/data.zip files? Which map for 7 digit postcode and TCM working.

It's a tall order but I know it must be possible on my Touch HD.

Thanks in advance. I have read the Wiki 101 times as well, hoping for some plain English advice.

Much obliged

hung77 and JiPé54,

Could you help, I also have a HTC Diamond 2 and can't get iGo 8 to work. I am trying to get version iGo 8.3.2.64873 to work. I am in the UK and using O2 operator. I have tried hundreds of different sys.txt file formats (including your one hung77)and all have different results. Currently trying this:

[folders]

app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"

[interface]

maxzoom2d=6000000

show_exit=1

[map]

3d_max_tiltlevel=7800

3d_scale_carmodel=1

3dcarsizemin=3000

3dcarsizemax=4500

3dcarsizemul=10000

[rawdisplay]

class="landscape"

highres=0

autoconfig=1

It starts to load and says "INIT API" then goes back to the desktop. If I try and run it again I get a message saying that "previous instance has not finished" in the background.

Then I have to shut the D2 down and put it on again to be able to try again.

Wish there was somewhere I could go to find out what all these commands mean in sys.txt, I figured out quite a few on my own, but I am going nuts trying to get this to work.

UPDATE: Changed the sys.tx file to the following and it now gets further, it reaches "INITIALIZING WARNING DATA" but freezes. I read somewhere that this can take five minutes to pass this screen but I have waited more then 20 min and it doesn't change. Apparently "[device] sdcard_dsk_num=7" is needed for the Diamond 2. Also the screen size of iGo8 is rather small, but once I get app working I am sure I will find a solution for that:

[folders]

app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"

iGO Amigo? Yes, please.

hi, has anyone tried to port Amigo to the HD yet?

i know all the blablabla about this is not for this sort of device and a licence should be bought... but as I mentioned before I have an unlocked Navman S55 satnav which I've been using as my main sat nav when I'm driving and i found heaven when i installed iGO Amigo - which i bought the licence :cool: - yes Amigo has fewer options but the interface is so, wow, so, so so so WOOOOOWWW!!!

three things:

1) someone started a thread about it and it was shut but....

2) apparently they're using it on kaiser and there's another thread about it, not sure it's still going on (didn't bother to read the whole thing)

3) Amigo doesn't use .zip files but .gro and I managed to find a GRO/ZIP converter which could be useful to create skins...

thing is: i have created over 60 logotype icons for most important shops in the UK to use with iGO 8, real nice work... want to see if i can use it on Amigo...

Sending out a big Thank You to MrKaon for the link.

To all the HTC Diamond 2 owners in the UK, I managed to get iGo 8.3.2.64873 to work. Its currently running perfectly in portrait mode.

Go to this link which MrKaon kindly provided:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=501910

Download the data.zip and branding.zip provided in the link and create a new sys.txt file and paste the sys.txt data also provided in the link, you will need to make one change to the sys.txt:

Change

[device]

Type="ALIAS_TOUCH HD"

To

[device]

sdcard_dsk_num=7

save your new sys.txt and copy data.zip, branding.zip and sys.txt file over to the iGo8 folder on your micro SD. Then just run it.

The first time you run iGo 8, it will take a very long to pass "INITIALIZING WARNING DATA" bit on the screen, I am sure it took well over 10 min, so go make yourself a coffee or nice tea and come back to your phone later. Also when iGo is running make sure in the settings you auto detect the GPRS as it doesn't do this automatically.

My mission now is to see if I can get it in Landscape mode.

Happy iGoing everyone and thank you to all those who contributed

If you go into your storage card and open up the Igo8 folder, you should see a list of folders (license, content, save...blah blah blah) Along with the igo8.exe file, there is a sys.txt. Simply open it, add in what you need (copy/paste) then 'OK'. When it prompts you to save as a word document, simply select 'No'.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ronp76:
More than likely you do not have the right resolution required by Gurjon or it may require landscape orientation. Switch the orientation from the Settings panel in iGO8 and see if Gurjon becomes black. If not, then your selected resolution maybe the problem.

Since you seem to be using the more current version with driver alerts activated, you might want to check that you have all the half-patches set up correctly as per the message above yours.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ronp76:
Do you have selected "Use Device Settings" or "Backlight Always On" in the Device Settings of the Settings menu? Depending on how you have your phone set up will influence the first. The BAO should override that but will be a drain on the battery unless you have a car charger going.

I've been running iGO8 on dozens of WM 6.5 Roms for quite a while now with no problems at all. The key is to install it to your SD card, then just copy and paste the .exe to Windows/Start Menu/Programs. This method works every time for me.

Signpost trouble

Folks,

The signposts on my default skin show only the arrows, but not the names of Streets, Freeways, etc. that normally show above the arrows. Quite annoying...

Any hints ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ronp76:
Try this in your sys.txt file:

[debug]

enable_roadshadow=1

show_residentonly=1

enable_roadsign=1

enable_landmark_occlusion=1

show_oneway_3d=1

show_oneway=1

show_gps_pos=1

show_signpost=1

background_navigation=1

traincrossing=1

supress_trivial_left=0

supress_trivial_right=0

skip_eula=1

[3d_config]

disable_roadsign_navigation_mode=1 ;=0 balloon =1 in street

Open your sys.txt file with Notepad and paste these lines inside it. If you already have a header like debug already built, just copy or modify lines as per above. For example, if your sys.txt reads:

show_signpost=0

change the zero to 1 as per the example.

Then, save the new sys.txt file using the Save As a textfile function - you DO NOT want to save as a DOC file.

If you already have installed iGO8, rename your \save directory so that iGO8 will be re-initialized and use this sys.txt to reformat itself. Once iGO8 has been re-initialized you can copy back the appropriate DAT files and route directory back to the new \save directory.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] parliament09:
Thanks for your answer.

Actually it did not work, but I found out an interesting thing. I tried a route simulation in a map from Europe, and the signposts showed just fine. Could it be that my U.S. maps have some kind of compatilbility problem ?

Problem with finding sys.txt file

I've been trying to install Igo 8.3.2.91972 PDA on my HD

When I finish installing it gives me the famous message: "program application database cannot be found. Please insert original SD card".

After reading through the thread I went looking for the sys.txt file in the Program Files/IGO8 map, but it wasnt there. Instead I only have the following files:

Content map(empty)

Custom map(empty)

Save map(empty)

IGO8.exe -> gives same error message as above.

unistall.exe

On my downloaded file I do have more content, but also no sys.txt file.

Can anyone tell me where its located?

Tnx
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ronp76:
Looks like you have one of two problems: either you trying to use a copy of an SD card that had iGO8 on it and/or more likely you do not have map(s) in your \content\map directory. The sys.txt file should be in root iGO8 directory.

Here is what one of directories look like that I keep on my laptop as a backup of my SD iGO8 program files: - whenever I make changes to my card, I first backup my original SD card to the laptop so I can revert back to a good copy. As per the instruction manual, you need to put the right files into the right directories or else iGO8 will not work. Typically, an application database error is a result of not having the correct map (R1 versus R3) and/or license issues.

Original copies of an iGO8 SD card cannot be copied as the program will look for a special file marker on the SD card.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ronp76:
Nice try but no cigar. There are several ways of showing the signposts in iGO8 which are universal to all countries. I listed just one using using iGO8's sys.txt file. There are ways of setting it in Settings menu panel but are complicated due to differences in the way various skins differentiate the submenus. I use Gurjon and it does a real job of breaking this down in one of the 3D settings.
