Hi
I have on my mobile phone with ROM "DIAMOND Edition by Akeo_V3.1" IGO8 FINAL installed but I have some problems...
I go to www.poiplaza.com and download speedcams of my country in format .kml but where I paste them? what is correct folder?
one more question is why I cant rotate screen with IGO8? some one have this problem?
Best Regards, Filipe Abrantes
The file .kml must be converted. i don't remember the program's name (see gpsforum.biz).
location for speedcams: \iGo8\CONTENT\SPEEDCAM\
you can't rotate the screen because of the iGO version you have. Yours I presume it's a beta.
but have some version who I can rotate the screen?

if Igo8 the version you are using surporting this, then its OK,
also you can change the config for the file SYS,
example, If igo8 support 240x320 and also 320x240.
if you like to use 320x240
then you go to SYS to amend it
[rawdisplay]
screen_x=320
screen_y=240
or
[rawdisplay]
screen_x=240
screen_y=320

Tomtom8???????
igo8
i challenge anybody in claiming igo8 works well on the trinity! try routing a long trip and you will get "not enough memory"...this is simply a lack of RAM memory.....
problem whith igo8
Hello I also installed igo8, but sometimes goes to shots (especially in the round) and delays the position of gps / - 20mt.
To you it works perfectly?
Ciao anche io ho installato igo8;ma a volte va a scatti(in modo particolare nelle rotonde) e ritarda la posizione del gps di +/- 20mt.
A te funziona perfettamente??
tomtom 8 on a PDA?? can u share that... or be sure...
thanks

iGO8 on Trinity
Running iGO8 on a 64M device is a challange, I agree. Some claim it is impossible, and I was one of thenm until recently, but there are some go around that helps make it work. I currently run a fully loaded ROM, not even a naked one, and able to run TouchFlo Manila most of the time, and have iGO8 run with some tweaks.
First make sure the following lines are on your sys.txt:
[debug]
cache=2048
reserve_memory=1500000
[navigation]
sim_speed_factor=3
That by itself will allow iGO claculate long routs (at least 500 miles long), recalculate when taking the wrong turn, display 3D maps with terrain without delays, and most important - will not crash, while allowing phone to work, emails to be recieved, etc.
If your ROM does not have 20M RAM free before iGO runs, it is most likely because of today plugins. Here is a neat trick. Use mToday (see mobile.htc.com). It's a freeware that allows to have two today screens. Create a secondary today screen that has only iGO on it. I gain more than 20M with this trick, and iGO runs happily...
I have to admit I did not invent this, but I gathered this info into one place for the Trinity folks as somehow iGO8 is a big deal for me (ex TT user, but iGO rulez for me) but not mentioned too often in this forum for Trinity. I even made tynynt mad when I was asking him about his tynynt015 and iGO8..
Oh, and TT8 is not a PDA version as far as I know, not that I care right now. I have abandoned TT for good. I still have a TT paid acount until March 2009 (yes, I am legit) I can not care less...

Hello
installed IGO 8 on my artemis with meschle rom vanilla 4.02 with cube
runs perfect, for the moment no diverence with speed as tomtom
tomorrow i will give it a special test with monumets , speedcams etc
for my onest opinion layout and design better then tomtom
i noticed for the moment just one minor problem;
Igo 8 gets stuck when s2u2 turns on,i just removed s2u2
are there some other user so i can hear there opinion
greetz Hatchy
Ive installed S2U2 yesterday but haven't run IGO8 yet, so will do it now and post my findings in a bit.
Ok had it running for ten minutes now and has been fine?
i have got S2U2 setup so that it only comes on when the device is in standby and with IGO8 keeping the phone on it doesn't even start S2U2.
IGO 8 vs TomTom Navigator
Yeah,
installed IGO8 too, our 200MHZ TIO OMAP Processor is still fast enough
Maybe in future it will be too slow when 3D graphices are real to life, or like TomTom Navcore 8 (not for pda's). Tomtoms graphics are like a 80's computergame
My father in law still prefers tomtom (very user friendly) even with the 'easy mode' in IGO8.
I still have to test it passing monuments to see the better graphics, but runs smoothly, you can see that they worked on this one.
Any other competitive packages with great graphics ? (tested Destinator & Route 66 already in past). Maybe TomTom Navigator 7 will have better 3D graphics, any news ???
Thanks,
Innovator
using IGO8 from begin of may with full details and works perfect.
I'm not using S2U2
I 'm using iGO8 full with 3d elevations, custom pois etc. Works fine on artemis with Vanilla 4.1 (not touch).
Problems (2) that I mention is:
1. it needs at least 16 MB ram free
2. when I press the call button to make a phone call during navigation, dialpad screen is a mess and no call can be made.
Waiting for a better Greek map because building numbers is totally wrong.
Fantastic piece of software.
navigon 6.5
i also used the igo8. but as i made any turn it ran back in 2d modus. so i went looking for other navi software. tomtom i had for a very long time, but when i wanted to go to croatia for vacantion, i had to switch between 2 maps. western eu and eastern eu. now i use navigon, very convinced that this is really good. had no problems what so ever on the way to and back from croatia. fast and very good working for me.
Tested
Hello
i tested igo almost the whole day
NOproblems
it works great
zero times stuck
i got calls in between no problem
i going to keep it on my artemis , much better grafics then tomtom
one thing, didn't see the 3d buildings yet

HTC P3300 with meschle vanilla 4.02 with cube
Hey i've tested it too ... first I had the "not enough memory" error, now I use filesystem cache 125 kb so it starts at least ...
but if I want to plan a long route the error message of iGO appears: "Not enough Memory, use different parameters"
I've got 27,6 mb free program memory (Meschles Artemis Touch 4.02 Vanilla) ... whats the problem, any of you got an idea???
I think in general Artemis isn't really fitting the performance specifications for iGO 8.

How do you achieved this? I played around with the memory options for 4 hours -> no success
I don't know
but i closed all programs ( also pocketcm)
i removed everything from tomtom and i set the splash screen on disabled
with me no problems and i just have 19 mb free
Update
I am using igo now and it works perfect
i've got a 4 gb micro sd with full europe for igo 8 and full europe for tomtom
so i can use both now
works like a charm
no problems for me
Hi.
Any way to get a link where to download IGO and test it, please?
Titek: buy it or try it in the shop and then buy?

That may be a good answer.
Anyway, is there a real difference between Tomtom Navigator and Igo? I got Tomtom on my ARTEMIS and it's quite good but sure, I do not see buildings in 3D.
I have Igo8 on my Artemis (working on Artemis Touch 4.02 Full no cube ROM @ 473 MHz) with full details and some skins and works fine (need at least 16 MB free RAM)
3d buildings
3d maps
realistic textures
full europe maps
Do IGO's maps take a lot of size on Micro SD card's or not? I know that for TOMTOM, maps can be about 100 Mb.
Hi I installed iGO 8 properly. But when it starts I see only blue igo screen and and " INIT API" then the program closes. Does anyone know what should be the problem.
I have Black&Blue 4.1 WWE Rom installed.

what about free RAM before start IGO - more than 16 MB?
Bought version or Downloaded? so much aspect to solve your bug...
Bucci, thanks for your answers so quick
I will give a try with IGO whenever possible
Hi i have igo 8 running smooth on artemis touch 4.02 no problems yet as i can see.
It Don't Work on B&B 4.3
But Work fine on Aje_fr 3.0b3
I have the Artemis Touch Vanilla 4.02 on board and everything is ok.
With 27MB free you can see all 3D-buildings, a.s.o.
greetings
peter
It's a bit bumpy on Artemis Touch 4.02 full with no cube, but it works OK.
Allso TomTom 7 works fine. What's the point of this thread?

Hi
is tomtom 7 available for the PDA?
Tomtom7 is available for ARTEMIS
But this topic is for IGO8
Just a probleme in IGO8, because my time is not the same when I close the program
For example : my Artemis says it is 08:00 am (French hour), +1 GMT
I launch IGO, I close the program, and after, my Artemis indicates 07:00 am
It is configured on "Minsk" and not "Paris, Madrid".
I tried many things but nothing to do.
Anyone has an idea for this, please?
the same problem... but I think it caused downloaded version
thats a general bug in Igo8. It will be fixed with the next release.
Meanwhile just add to your sys.txt on Artemis and SD-Card follwogin entry:
[timezone]
sync_os_timezone=0
reset_os_timezone=0
this will help
regards.
Seems like it's working
Thanks for the tip.
However, same problem with sound which is deactived or high when closing the program.
Before launching Igo, my Artemis is set on "vibrate" and I lose this parameter after closing Igo...
Any other Idea?
hi all,
i tried so many wm6.5 roms, but always have problems to run tomtom 7.915 smoothy. The moovement in navigation is lagging and tomtom reacts very slow. Also with the new wm6.5 rom from tomme45i with more than 27mb when starting tomtom the navigation is still lagging.
Can someone confirm this? Is there an solution for this problem?
thanks alot,
John
I didn't notice any lagging. Using the chanvi 21900 build with TomTom 7.915.
I do have chainfire's GFXBoost installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509704)
Did speed up my trinity
Oh, and also changed some dll that are used to access storage card.
Only problem is that tomtom is killed when minimized no matter if it is excluded in taskmanager or not.
Arjan
No Lag for me on Chanvi, or Tomme45i 23017. TomTom 795.9196 Runs about as quick as my TomTom Rider, except for finding satellites the first time.
It depends on how many POI are displayed during navigation.
Try to disable some and check if it lag.
This already happens to me in the past because all of my POI were selected to display during navigation.
thanks, i will try and report later
i disabled some POIs and now tomtom works good.
But anyway i think that wm6.1 is better for tomtom, because under wm6.1 i can able much more POIs without lagging...
But WM6.5 has it's advantage, especially the Rom from tomme45i. So i stay with wm6.5 and disable some POIs
Advanced Config Tool

Using Advanced Config Tool you can try to change the Glyph Cache parameter.
But as you say the problem may be because of choosing lots of POIs...

Does this tool really works with Trinity? someone else tried this tool?
Whilst we are on the subject, is anyone here in the UK using Tomtom 7.915?

What is the best* GPS Software that I can use on my Blackstone with Xannytech's ROMs... I have a 1.8 ROM now but i will gonna upgrade it soon...so, what do you suggest me ?
I leave in Roumania, and I need a GPS software that doesn't require an Internet Connection (I have Wi-Fi at home, but that's it)
Thank you all
*Spec. By best I mean, the fastest, the most recent one and the most accurate....
NoniGPSPlot
Not sure what you want to do with your GPS, but try this one:
NoniGPSPlot
http://aeguerre.free.fr/Public/PocketPC/NoniGPSPlot/EN/index.php
The program looks a bit out-dated, but it's the best I've seen so far. It is used to draw (plot) your track on a map, which can be exported to kml for use in Google Earth for instance.
For you this might be a good choice, the developer made a program to download the road or satellite-maps to your PC, to use the maps offline on your mobile. Might be what you're looking for.
Don't hesitate to buy the full version, it's totally worth it
Igo8 is the best for Romania,no need wifi or gprs,only gps connection,or try Navigon 7.3.Me: Xannitech's 1.9 and Igo8 Adrianx package.
Igo 8 e cel mai bun pentru Romania si harta cea m-ai completa,nu ai nevoie de internet sau Navigon 7.3.Eu folosesc rom Xannytech's 1.9 si Igo8 pachetu Adrianx
TomTom has been my go-to GPS for all ROMs. It does a great job with out frying your devices memory.
Does anyone have Igo Amigo 8.4.2.109504 running properly on Touch Pro 2 (with EnergyRom Series 21898 + Sense 2.5 )?
My problem is that Igo is responding, opening and starting, but then when it begins with "Autodetecting GPS Receiver..." ...it actually never finds it.
Any help, suggestion and resolution, maybe?
Tnx
Managed to find a solution myself...may help someone getting same problem with Igo 8.4 not managing to "Autodetect GPS Receiver"...:
go to amigo/save folder...then edit system.ini to add (change) gps configuration to:
[gps]
port="4"
baud="57600
In my case problem resolved and Igo is running.
