Igo8.3.2 on M8

I'm proud to announce that I finally got the navigation software Igo8.3.2 running on my M8.



For everyone who wants to try it out as well, PM me.

Some things you need to change: there is a sys.txt which has to have following content:

Code:

[RAWDISPLAY]
screen_x = 480
screen_y = 640


[folders] 
app="/Disk/prog/iGO8"

[poi] 
enable_pois_before_090217=1


[interface] 
maxzoom2d=6000000 
show_exit=1 
 
[map] 
2dheadup=1 

Igo runs on my M8 only in 480x640 and even this only with a modified data.zip, you can pull from the gpsunderground-forum as well. I think it would be possible to somehow run in native resolution, but I'm not yet that far. 60 pixels missing at the bottom isn't that bad. You can use hide32.exe to hide the taskbar but you don't really need to, either...


It's not possible to make screenshots from within the application so these are from my digicam (hope they work...):

This is a 3D-view of Berlin which runs relatively smooth (2D is better apparently).



The interface is very fast and intuitive, English language is standard but can be customized...



Well this is the cherry on top: I was able to download a kmz-file from PoiPlaza and am able to search for Fon-Wifi-Spots.



The hotspots even show up on the map.


I don't owe a gps-receiver yet, but I'm pretty confident that it shouldn't be a problem since the software cleary supports it.

I just love my M8

Thanks, hope it works

Great news!
will give it a try with a LD-4W (nokia gps reciever) ASAP.

nope 240x320 runs too i'm running igo8 since january but i don't like the idea to have to buy an external bluetooth receiver.

which maps are already included? And i saw somewhere you can download extra maps, like australia and neew zealnd. havnt found a china one yet...

So I borrowed a gps-receiver from a friend but it doesn't work. The thing is: the receiver doesn't work with MioMap2008 either. I don't know the manufacturer or the model...
I've heard some people got their receiver working with the M8, can you give me some hints? I guess you have to pair up with the device and then it's just supposed to work, right? Does anyone know a cheap working receiver?

I bought this one KLICK and it works just perfect with my M8 an Route66 v8

Just connect via Bluetooth, mark as trusted an start the application...should also work also with any other Software

I have got a "blumax gps-710" pairing with the meizu succeeded but when i want to connect it says "connection failed". does anyone know if pairing is enought to use it for navigation or must it be connected?

pairing should be enough...i got a falcom xt and i cant connect to it neither but it works 100%

I was able to get this up and working, but I can not get Igo to find the Bluetooth GPS receiver. It is paired with the device, but I can not find the com port settings. Does anyone know how to set the bluetooth com ports on the M8, or at least be able to see what they are set to?

I have also a GPS receiver Royaltek RBT-2200, I can't configure it to works with my M8 and Igo8. Which port and bautrate should I choose in Igo8. The paring is done with the m8, but when i try to connect to it with the m8 it doesn't works.
Many thanks for your help

My gps receiver is working with route66, so it seems it's a problem with Igo8 and not with the M8. Any ideas how to solve it?

can i use it without gps too? I tried it but it doesn't work. Now it is the question if i did something wrong or igo works only with gps.

it also works without gps
the program starts


before you ask: no support for cracking the software

thx!
I would never ask that :D
but can you give me the data.zip and brandings.zip files that I need to run the programm on the m8 or is that illegal too?

Where can i download IGO 8.3.2

@Patrick no support for that cause these are cracked files and this ist the international forum so pls post in english

@kyre it's not free -> no support

Did someone manage to run igo in native resolution or in widescreen mode?

It's been awhile since I did some work with IGO8, but I got some news:

first of all it's possible to convert POI data to a format recognizable by IGO8 using a program called "IGO POI Explorer". So you can download the current POIs from fon and convert them to a IGO8 kmz. This is a great improvement since the POIs from POI-Plaza aren't that good.

Now to the GPS-receiver issue: Most GPS receivers work with Route 66 but fail with IGO8. There is a program called BT-com which maps a bluetooth gps-device on a com port, so it should be recognized by IGO8. The tool can be found here. More information on the topic can be found in this thread. I just ordered the Navilock GPS BT-413 which is supposed to work in the described way. I'll keep you posted as soon as I got it...

for widescreen mode change SYS.TXT

Code:

[RAWDISPLAY]
screen_y = 480
screen_x = 640
class=landscape
