As an iGO fan, I've installed iGO Amigo on my Pharos.
After 30-40km, an alert system is poping-up "Not enough memory, please close other running application". But nothing else is running.
TT7 is running very well (Memory needed +- 15mb)
The same iGO Amigo run without problem on a Trinity (Memory needed +- 24mb)
How can I suffer from this memory lack on the Pharos starting with 73mb free
Moreover, Pharos appear in devices list of compatibility for Amigo
Please help

Hi,
I have successfully installed TomTom 5 using BeyondTheTech's instructions, and everything works beautifully on the Great Britain map, which is about 100MB.
Yesterday I tried to switch to other maps, particularly the France map (which is about 200MB) and the Italy Plus map (which is also about 200MB too), and no way, it won't do that. What it does it freezes TomTom.
When this happens I can get to the Memory applet in Control Panel and stop TomTom, but then to restart it I need to patch the CurrentMap file in MyDocuments so that TomTom will ask which map I want to use, and only if I select Great Britain it will work fine. With the other two it just freezes as soon as I click it.
Before anybody asks, my license code is for the whole of Europe!!!!
Also, all three maps worked perfectly on my Treo 650, the device I had before the KJAM.
Anyone else has this problem?
Thanks.
I have the KJAM with TTN5 installed and i use currently the France-map without problem, also the italy-map-plus is working well. I have the navigator installed on miniSD like the maps. It's not very quick to open up, but don't freeze like you tell.
I see it freezing with italian map on my PDA2K with WM5 until i moved the navigator program from main memory to SD card. KJAM is not a PDA2k but you can try to uninstall the navigator from main memory and install it on miniSD (or move it and change the registry according to the new place).
Thanks for your reply.
My installation is indeed on the miniSD card already, not on main memory. So, I am very puzzled.
I will try and re-make the maps via the TomTom CD's and copy again to the card, and see if it makes a difference.
Can you confirm that you are able to switch maps residing on the card without problems?
Grazie (sono italiano anch'io).
Yes, i don't have problems to use the maps and i can change between them. I'm currently in France and i use a lot the france-map, but also changing back to the italian plus map is not a problem.
You put the map folder in the root of miniSD, right? And you tried to kill all the applications in background before starting TTN5? Stupid questions i know
Ciao
I have to GB maps installed and TT5 freezes near the end of any journey
and its loaded onto the mini SD card. Map includes camera data and I also have all voices loaded, rather no lose camera data but i am not sure if TT5 uses ov2, bmp or both files. Also should I trim the voice file to the one i use
Well.. till now i never see it freezing on kjam, but on my PDA2K with WM5 yes. It was freezing when i have it on main memory (then moved to SD) and when the bluetooth is off (or when pocketzenphone change profile to BT off at schedule time and i'm using TTN).
I use TTN5 with Checkpoint for POI and i have some slow down (but not freezing) when i enable a lot of POI, but if i keep only camera radar is fast enough. Ahh... and i use only one voice file, but i don't think that having many voice files it's a problem.
I was using TomTom on my previously owned Treo 650, and thought that the maps on the memory card could be reused.
I have now rebuilt all the maps from scratch using the original TomTom CD's, and now everything works great. I can switch maps with no problems.
I am also using the speed camera database from PocketGPS, and no problem at all with those either. No freezes, everything works perfectly, including Traffic.
Thanks again for the help.
Hi All,
What would you say was a reasonable amount of free RAM to have with a WM5 Wizard, assuming you'd already installed the standard stuff like smartskey, tomtom, reg hacks, palm messaging etc etc?
Mine's on about 9.5MB free which seems very low, and it's causing GPS Tuner to fail to launch.
I'm debating a hard reset and reinstall and wanted to canvas opinions...

Are you taking about program RAM ( I have about 25M Free) or Device RAM ( I have about 19M Free)? If your taking about device RAM (where you install programs) I would uninstall them and any program that does not have a today plug-in associated with it, I would install it on my mini SD Card, if it does have a today plug-in associated with it, I would install that on the device. Also, you can go into your mail attachments stored on your SD Card as well as your temp internet files. If you are speaking about program memory, well, I would suggest Faria’s WM5 3.3 ROM!

I need help. I now like using gps on my vzw-6800 but with rom 3.12 after all is loaded I have only 19mb of program memory. I like using Google Navigator 3.5 it locks on with radio 3.39 and good enough for me. Issue it needs 17mb to run and if I am below that it will not run. Worse if I get it running and start using other normal phone functions or apps it will crash due to lack of needed memory.
Q1
What GPS program you all use is which is not a complete memory hog or require at least 17mb in order to run?
Q2
Do gps apps which supply their own maps use less memory..if so which ones?
Please, please, please reply....I do you kind people use these apps

Use TomTom, it doesn't slow things down too much. I can run Mortplayer while GPS is tracking with no lagging. TomTom runs GPS from the sd card which takes up very little space on the phone. I still use AstroGPSlauncher though I know it may not be needed (I am on Verizon and need to still be superstitious). Garmin is a close second, but a little different to setup.
Thx...any part version of TomTom I need to be looking at...
Others...any input or comments???????
Morning,
Soft reset, 21.1mb of mem free. Open Garmin xt, base map, topo and stock east coast map all loaded= 14.7mb free. Thats on DCD 3.04 with 3.39R. I normally run a media player with garmin tracking away and bluetooth on when i drive any distance. I haven't had any problems with memory but i have a habit of doing a soft reset every morning.
If your going to be using your gps for in city then i'd say tomtom. Garmin maps are very expensive but they are real maps. If you have used GPS devices in the past then you will be familiar with how they work. Think on this. My garmin folder on my SD is 31.4mb, 5.04mb on my device. I think tomtom used something like 900mb on the SD? Can't remember but it was alot.
Hope this helps.
Chris
Getting any of those maps...was it all a download or you have to purchase a software box to get all this...any links?
I have the maps because they came with my gps. Imagin how happy i was to find they worked with my phone!
I have a friend who did get most of it from a tourrent. I don't have the link but he said it was just to search for it. But thats at your own risk.
Good evening!
I am currently using a iGO8 navigation system on my HTC Diamond and often get crashes because of the lack of enough memory. So I thought of the following solution:
Wouldn't it be possible to create a multiboot menu which shows up when booting the Diamond, just before the Explorer.exe loads, which lets me choose between booting the normal Windows Mobile GUI or the iGO application (or whatever application I want to)?
I think iGO won't need Windows Mobile to run as it runs on PNA's which are basically just Windows CE systems, and those don't run any Explorer application unless you force them to do so.
I think this can be made possible by changing the INIT entry for Explorer.exe to any other application (the menu) in the registry.
Would that be possible?
-- twofive
the PNA/ gps menu its an application for Windows CE. it loads after windows ce has been loaded. It goes in full screen, without an exit button. so basicaly when the gps menu is loaded all other necesary wince files are loaded (except maybe explorer.exe, witch can load in 1sec with taskman command.). Also wince loading takes about 5 seconds and win6.1 about 1min. As i know win6.1 does not have explorer.exe. insteed i think is nk.exe witch is the os. so without os igo wont work.
Isn't there any way we can skip the Windows Mobile GUI and directly start iGO?
Also, I don't think all neccessary files are loaded AFTER iGO was started. I think they are loaded before as the last INIT entry is the navigation software.
I don't know if Windows CE has some kind of regsvr32.exe or something similar.

I don't think it's possible. But I do know a solution - you should find a ROM with maximum RAM available to user.
I have one (Gen.Y) but I just install to much stuff onto my diamond and therefore the free memory is smashed

I think that you are confusing ROM (storage memory) & RAM (program memory). Program memory is what you need for flawless iGo performance. Try, for example, latest official HTC ROM, it should be better for RAM than most of the cooked ROMs.
I know the difference
It's just that I am running too much applications in the background (WisBar Advance, TouchResponse, Palringo and what not all) so that the free RAM is just smashed
Well, I guess I have to clean up a bit.
Thanks anyway

In that case, I have a definitive solution - you should by Raphael, like me. I'm able to run at the same time Garmin, iGo, Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, DotFred TaskMgr and much much more, and have absolutely no problems.
Hi when i run Tom Tom together with the standard music player. (for use on car stereo)
I get messages telling the memory is full. After three of those messages it shuts or tom tom or the music player down.
Not what i want
17 meg programm memory free when no app is running.
When i start music player and tom tom it drops to 6.32 meg and decreases slowly.
How can i increase the programm memory? or decrease the programm memory wm6.1 is using( about 30 megs)
Cant i use SD as programm memory (i run tomtom from it)
Well, what ROM are you using?
Default?
Get a light ROM would be good.
any suggestions??
onyx light?? but isnt that too light??
i want to sms/mms/phone/play mp3 and use tomtom
Onyx Light is just nice.

Take a look at this page pool changer, you can change it to 24mb if you use a elfin.
ONYX JR. 4.6 (Lighter)
[Download] [Download]
ELFIN: Free Storage Memory: 171.27MB; Free Program Memory: 79.23MB (Version 4.1.2 with only M2D running)
ELF: Free Storage Memory: 54.22MB; Free Program Memory: 22.91MB (Version 4.1.2 with only M2D running)
free programm mem = 22 thats still not enough i think
or should i go micro??
To be frank with you.
It is totally TOO LIGHT, im using a ELFIN, which is connected to my house stereo system and sometimes I bring it out and use google maps too.
Totally no issues, and furthermore, Sometimes I use the SPB Mobile Shell 3 as well.
