    Default Top to be the direction you are travelling in

    On my IGO8.3.4.117940, I can not get the top to be the direction I’m heading, in the 2D mode. It will in 3D but in 2D don’t know how. The manual say that there are 3 settings 2D,3D and 2D top is direction but on mine it only shows two options 3D and 2D

    thank you

    Where are you looking for this option
    using the quick menu or the main menu?
    and are you using a different skin or the standard one?

    Hello Kevaclone, sadly my IGO8 the skin is grayed out so can't select any, in the IGO8 skin folder I have this in it: IGO8>content>skin>iGO8_Ultra.zip

    In the settings, I can select the Animation and background but not the skin, it's gray and un selectable, also I can choose a new scheme, any help will be most welcome,

    It's IGO8.3.4.117940, if its any help

    Hello Mollydog,
    firstly, the three selections for 3D and 2D, you should be able to cycle through are 3D with a pyramid like icon, then 2D with a simple grid icon, followed by 2D north which shows a compass point in the icon. Very little immediate vision change when you first switch from 2D into 2DN. Are you seeing the icons? I'm running 8.3.4.142975 in default skin.
    As for your skin selection being ""greyed out", just means it won't work on your device, maybe a resolution thing, iGO Ultra only works on a couple of res, my 400X272 being one that it won't work on. There are lots of other skins that will work without tweaks, I have kikker 3.2 which I enjoy from time to time.
    One newbie to another, you're in the right place, this forum being the best, just poke around and enjoy getting it right.
