IGO 8 Help

Hi I've searched the forums for help on installing IGO 8 and haven't come up with anything that can help me. I have installed IGO 8 on my Diamond but when I try to run it I get the error "Program application database cannot be found. Please insert original application SD card". I'm not sure what this means as I am new to using a smartphone. So if someone would be able to help me out that would be great, thank you.

Search about file SYS.TXT file located in your IGO8 directory.
Open it.
Change row:
app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"
with:
app="Internal Storage/iGO8"
Soft reset and try again.
Good look!

If you have installed igo8 through 2577/autorun, make sure you make the above mentioned changes to the sys file located in My Device/Program Files/igo8 folder.
IGo 8 works realy nice with Diamond. Good luck.

In my HTC HD I had the same problem. I checked the SYS.TXT you were talking bout and it was configured correctly (app="Internal Storage/iGO8").
But I still had the same problem.
I found the problem though... I had my iGo8 folder inside another folder (Internal Storage/GPS Utils/iGO8), so in order for this to work you have either to have it as a root foldr on the IS/SC or correct the path...

- Do not use the autorun! (you can delete from start the folder 2577)
- Rename the file application.dat in iGO8.exe
- Edit the SYS.TXT end modify as:
FROM
[folders]
app=”%SDCARD%/iGO8″
IN TO
[folders]
app=”Internal Storage/iGO8″
Save and copy iGO8 from PC in Internal Storage (direct in the root).

How can I make a shortcut like that? I always have to launch the program entering via explorer.

I'm doing it this way: Tap and Hold your IGo8.exe - Copy - "Paste shortcut" in "/Windows/Startmenu/Programs"

Ive done this but now it says Program application cannot be found. Please insert original SD card.
Well I sorted that out and now the application opens and then shows the start up screen then closes and when I try to open it again it goes The application failed to start last time. do you want to factory reset defaults.
Any ideas?

Final warning

IGo8 or OCN8 on TP2 problem to run!

I have and love my OCN (IGO8 in Europe) and have been using it since my HTC 6700, however I am having problems to run it on my Sprint TP2, it apparently installs but doesn't run, flashes the loading screen and disapear!
Does anyone know this GPS software (which BTW I think is light years ahead of any other!) and can help me?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

There are several IGO threads around, you may get a quicker response asking in one of those, the answer may even be there already
Gordon

Have you enabled A-GPS? If so try to disable it. Also does it have a igo config file? would like to see the output of it Think its called sys.txt

Have you been using iGO8 with a different device already?
What you describe here is typical for a wrong video subsystem configuration and can happen when moving from one hardware platform to another with different screen resolutions.
To fix this you should add to your sys.txt the following line(s):
[interface]
skin="ui_igo8"
Please note that during installation iGO8 makes a working copy of "sys.txt" in a "Program Files\iGO8" directory in a main device's memory so you have to copy it there, otherwise you will have no effect !
If this will not help (or you already have it there) then please remove content of "save" folder from your SD card. Please remember to backup you own POI's first ("user.upoi" file within save folder).

Hi Guys,
I decided to post a Support ticket and I was told to use this into the SYS.txt file:
1) please uninstall OCN 8 (if you have already installed it)
2) open sys.txt using Notepad. This file is located under "SD Card\OCN8\" folder. You may use Notepad from your PC (thru a card reader) or editing the file directly from your phone's notepad application.
[project]
name="igo8_pda"
[folders]
app="\Storage Card\OCN8"
sdcardpath="\Storage Card"
[interface]
maxzoom2d=6000000
show_exit=1
[device]
sdcard_dsk_num=7
3) Then save the sys.txt and re-install OCN8.

Thanks anyway to all that helped.

TomTom 7 kills bluetooth?

Yes, I got one! I've gone directly home and install my most essential programs (after syncing all contacts etc). One of these programs is TomTom7. After installing it and restarting it I get the message "BTTrayCE is not a valid application" and my bluetooth doesn't start. Has anyone experienced the same problem? Is there a solution for this?
For my work I use bluetooth and TomTom almost daily so help would be really helpfull!
Caroline

tomtom has released a special version for the tp2 that had the same problem and should have fixed the bluetooth issue. I don;t know where to find it right now, but it definately is on these forums, so do a search and you'll find the cab you are longing for.

I did an installation of TT on my SD a long time ago and since then i only made a shortcut to the startmenu after flashing a new rom and some other tricks when the devicecode changed.

Try to ask xmoo on this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580981&page=8 <- I think he's got tomtom7 on the hd2

[sgsdebruin] How do you make a link to the startmenu? I've installed it also a long time ago on my SD...

[All] thanks for the replies. The hint of sgsddebruin did the job. I created a shortcut with the help of Total Commander. Thanks!!

Hi I have order my HD2 today and just sold my HD, i am looking to put tomtom on it, does anyone know if the HD1 version will work on the HD2?
Thanks Matthew.

It's not just the BT that get's killed.. The FM radio does also...

you have to delete that .dll's out of the tomtom .cab with wince cab manager.
(i believe it also can with winzip/winrar/7-zip)
and then install the cab.
be shure to do this before install

What do these dll's do?

The BtCoreIf.dll file is a custom TomTom Wizard bluetooth file.
I guess that BtSdkCE30.dll is also part of this.

TT & BT fix
Genius!
Thank you.

When I look into the setup.xml of my cab. file (TT7_916_9189.CAB)
I can see the files with install order "No Overwrite".
Does this mean they will only be installed, when there are no system files with this names allready existing in windows folder ?
I don't have deleted anything and bluetooth and radio are working great

i use resco and total commander but i can't delete \Windows\BtCoreIf.dll...help!!!

editing Navipanel

Is it possible to edit Navipanel so it launches TomTom instead of Copilot?

NaviPanel and Igo8
Yes its possible,
this is my way of doing(maybe there is better one
1.Copy all files and folders except CONTENT folder(the bigges one) from IGO8 directory to Program Files\Copilot\ - you will replace Audio folder(if you didn't deleted all from here.
2.Rename iGO8.exe to copilot.exe and just in case make one copy of this file with name splashscreen.exe
3.Edit sys.txt to point to the content folder
[folders]
content="Storage Card/iGO8/content"
4. Enjoy
Regards.

Worked finr for me
Tried it on my UK HTC HD2 according to your instructions - all worked ok
No i have Navipanel running igo8 instead of Copilot
Thanks a lot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

is it possible to point the data+branding folders as well so i can save some space on device

if you have installed igo on your SD card, you just have to copy iGO8.exe, sys.txt, and GPSTMC.dll in ProgramFiles/Copilot/, then rename iGO8.exe to copilot.exe (and do the splashcreen thing, just in case )
your sys.txt must contain
[folders]
app="Storage card/igo_folder_as_you_named_it"
hope it helped

Hi,
is there a way to use Navigon MN7 instead of CoPilot? My MN7 works manually in Landscape mode, no Problem, but i want to start it with the NaviPanel. How to do?
Thanks for any help...

Just found this on another site, tried it and it works a treat.
To make TomTom replace copilot:
-You have to install tomtom to your SD card
-Locate the install dir of tomtom after you have installed it
-Locate the navigator.exe and copy it to another folder
-Rename the navigator.exe in the tomtom folder to copilot.exe
-Rename the navigator.exe you made copy off to splashscreen.exe
-Copy the splashscreen.exe back to same folder as the new copilot.exe is
-Rename the tomtom folder (or what ever the name is) to copilot.
-Copy the new copilot folder, and then locate the original copilot folder on device storage (Program Files/CoPilot) and paste the new folder over the original (DO NOT DELETE THE ORIGINAL FOLDER FIRST)
-Soft reset, and it should work just fine

Hi,
I´m also trying to get MN7 startet that way (But on Rhodium with Navipanel from Leo coocked in). I copied \Windows\StartMN7.exe to the \Program Files\Copilot folder and renamed it to copilot.exe. Than the same again and rename it to splashscreen.exe. But when I start MN7 within Navipanel I get an error: "Turn landscape orientation error !" and MN7 starts in portrait mode.
When closing MN7 : "Turn back orientation error".
When I start MN7 directly with \Windows\StartMN7.exe everything is fine...
EDIT: Now it´s working for me. Either it was the Soft reset i did, or the changes I made to the G-Config APP. Copilot.exe was configured in G-Sensor App.
Now the next question is if it´s possible to link the Buttons "Go Home", "Recent" and "Adress" to the corresponding actions in MN7... That would be cool and would make Navipanel more useful.

Can I just check, when you say it is working great, does tomtom navigate to your home when you press home, and to your footprints? I have followed the procedure, but while tomtom launches instead of copilot, it does not plan a route. Any suggestions for getting this to work?

Use the Full-Specs of Navipanel with different Navisoft than CoPilot
Isn't there a possibility to make make the Navipanel understand, that the Navigation-Software is in a different Folder? I can't copy the Navisoft to the HD2, because there's no free space. I'm also interested in using the Navipanel with his full specs and with MN 7 or a different Navisoft...
Who can help?

I too would also like to know if it is possible. I currently have tomtom on my storage card rather than the phone itself, isn't there a ways to make navipanel run tomtom off the storage card instead of having to copy everything over to the copilot folder on the phone (or other navisoft)? I have tried creating shortcuts to a renamed copilot.exe and splashscreen.exe but it doesn't seem to like that.

My version of copilot wont let me edit the files on the phone as i don't have permission!!!!! is there a way round this as i want to use igo not copilot

Is it possible to start the Navi Panel automatically when connected to the car charger?

Bugger... I had TomTom installed on the device; doesn't work then! *Uninstall & reinstall to SD card...* :-(

What's the problem, they should both install although they probably won't run simultaneously.

The problem is, that both applications have to be in the main folder, but they have 1 file, which has the same name.

Do you mean they have to install from 2577 folder?
If so, just rename one of them to 25771
I can't speak for the other program but I install iGo from SD card in 2577 folder but all files are under \Storage Card\iGo so there should not be a conflict.

i tried but it does not work. i renamed the sygic \Storage Card\2577 to \Storage Card\25771, but the system can not install it. i have the igo8 under \Storage Card\2577. what can i do please?

I used a similar file structure when I used to run Sashimi for auto installing aps after a flash. The 2577 is a flag for autoinstaller to search that folder for exe files to install, but for manual installation it shouldn't matter.
I would put Sashimi in 2577 and iGo in 25771 and it would install, just not automatically.
I'm not sure why your program won't install from there. Sorry.
