iGO8 for Windows Mobile, CE, PDA & PNA with Australia Map and Extras

[kukuk]

Ok just made a backup of the old map files from the 2 gig card
and did a fat32 format,
now i have reloaded the 2577 and iGO8 folders on to the card.
and then in the 2577 folder I have changed the 'AUTORUN.EXE' file name to 'iGO8.exe'
Does upper and lower case matter?
and should I move that newly renamed file into the iGO8 root folder? along with its friend from 2577 (autorun_8nng). and then delete the 2577 folder all together?

(my downloads are from david2131)

Ouch.... I guess it did not like that last file change, now the GPS is frozen searching for an invalid file path, Doh. and will not exit or reset.
My week is just getting better by the minute.
I give up for now, will try back here tomorrow when the brain strain clears.
Coop

KING KUKUK,
Thanks for your link, Your are a champion for sure.
I loaded that up and got it crankin. then went back and installed all the Australian content.
and updated the screen X,Y, setting to my 800x480, that all worked out well so far. have a GPS signal but its not bringing up my location on the screen, only green screen.
I guessed it was the port location and in the iGO8 SYS,txt there is no GPS txt.

I remembered connecting to port 2 with the old GPS mapware, so I looked in its sys.txt and found this string.
[GPS_ComPort_Port]
IsTranslator=1
HasValue=1
Format=List
Count=10
Item0=COM1,1
Item1=COM2,2
Item2=COM3,3
Item3=COM4,4
Item4=COM5,5
Item5=COM6,6
Item6=COM7,7
Item7=COM8,8
Item8=COM9,9
Item9=COM10,10

[GPS_ComPort_Baud]
IsTranslator=1
HasValue=1
Format=List
Count=6
Item0=4800 bps,4800
Item1=9600 bps,9600
Item2=14400 bps,14400
Item3=19200 bps,19200
Item4=38400 bps,38400
Item5=57600 bps,57600
Not sure if that will cause an issue So i searched back in this thread And in one of your earlier posts i found this...
[gps]
port=2
baud=9600
Am I moving down the right path to just insert that [GPS] string and just change the port number till it works?
Anyway Heading over to the new thread to see if I can work it out.
Thanks so much for your time KUKUK.

Hey KUKUK, inserted that gps string into the systxt and its off and racing. YYYAAAAHHHOOOO.
So from just one of the fleas on the top dogs back, Thanks buddy.
Your help has made a great end to a crap week.

Hi Hollowman, what does it mean when the system loads up until the point of "Mainscreen Load" and then crashes. Sometimes, after "Mainscreen Load" it goes into the Language option and lets me select which language and voice option, and as soon as i click "ok" it crashes and starts loading again. I have taken out all the "maps", just left the "base maps", taken out the "speedcam" files and deleted the "save" folder which it creates everytime it starts. Just kept the system lean to see if any of them was causing the problem

I am using iGO8 8.3.4.117940 on a Navi Plus ll seperate box which by the way comes from Australia (i am in South Africa) and links up to my D/Din.
The strange thing is that i am using the same software on my Chinese PNA and it works 100%
Hope you can help with this problem!

I found I had this problem when I selected a skin that hadn't been downloaded/installed correctly - then I couldn't get back in to change back - only getting as far as you do. I ended up removing all skins bar default and a Gurjon - Lit it up and it worked OK
Hope this helps

When you untick and tick GPS Enabled you can see there what port and baudrate your unit is using..copy that and change what you have here..
[gps]
port=4
baud=38400

Hi Kukuk, i have the same problem which has just recently started. It was working fine, now i have to go into the settings to untick and re-tick the GPS Enabled button. My system works with [gps] port=2 baud=4800 and i have this in my system text. I am also running Polnav 6, NDrive, Sygic, Primo, on the same SD Card and all is 100%. Only the problem with iGO8

Just found the answer to the problem on Post #456 Now working! Thanks!!!

Just replaced Tomtom 7 on my Ipaq with iGO8 , installed easily so will test it out tomorrow .

Hi Guys,
Brimming with confidence, over my new found expertise with iGO, I decided to get my mate a 7" 'all in one, no name' win 6.0 and have loaded the iGO8 GPS, (thanks to all the help from KUKUK, BAZZLE, and HOLLOWMAN)
But I have a new issue...
How do I remove the small bubbles running along the road? tried changing skins, and settings. got me stumped. is it a POI file delete?
they are not present on my GPS in my BMW (all in one, W 5.0) using the same skin and settings.
I have seen this posted previously, but a search and manual read have not located the solution.
I will keep looking, but if someone has the time to chip in advice, that would be great.
Thanks. Coop
Update...
I went back in to the POI folder and deleted the 2 aust poi files. and left the folder empty.
That has cleared the extra crap off the screen.
SO is the POI stuff not required, if your only using your gps to get around? without worrying about travel and tourist garbage?
Oh by the way, i did try to access the POI settings while in NAV mode and a windows popup saying 'can not access this file' guess i missed a sys.text file insert?

[bazzle01]

POI's not req IMO unless you specifically need some. ie. hospital, airports etc.

I find IGO works better without.
You can go into manage/poi and deselect and go into sub groups and deselect further.

I've just got a Chinese 6" 16:9 touchscreen GPS with iGO 8 installed. I've read your tutorials and tried to view my sys.txt file but all it contains is;
xV4%°(‹Ö÷7¹U%WÈ
The GPS is working. What is wrong with the sys.txt file and how do I determine what version of iGO I have?

[gmau69]

Good day,
Downloaded a v8.3.4.102680 version and copied it on a 8GB sd card but cannot start this application on my Chinese device. My GPS come with Windows CE 6.0 maybe that is the reason?
Thanks for your help.

I have a strike gps, the motorbike kind, and I want to put primo onto it or even a newer igo8. Problem is, I dont have access to the card in the pna's interface so I cant get it to point to it. Its all copied across but once I start the pna it goes to its normal gui and has a gps, photo, music etc buttons. I hit the gps button and nothing happens. If I connect to the computer, I cant even see the rom or anyway to get into the gui to get it to point to MobileNavigator on the SD card. any suggestions?
