2. The differences in size for some APK's ...

Ready to go versions for the 64mb ...

I get many questions from members who want to be able to use single program content for other iGO programs so that they can save space. Here are the sys.txt entries to make to accomplish that. You want to put those entries in the other iGO programs. Notice that the content in this example is situated in the iGO8 program. Igo8 uses Loquendo voices so you would delete that bold entry to use in Primo ...

Here again my installer, this time with the 9.510 NC.
Included in the installer are the following versions:
1. just the patched CAB - for all of you that just want the new Navcore on a compatible device - no emulations offered!
2. for GO models with 64mb of Ram - all GO emulations included

1. The best Navcore is always what Home offers as latest official update!
All other Navcores can work but there are no guarantees!
2. We always provide the latest maps in our red stickies, so instead of asking simply check the dates of the postings ...

I created another installer, this time for the above Navcore.
Even though some might complain about the big download, I say it is easier to have all versions at hand.
If the selected version does not work for you select a different one from the installer.

Special note:
So far there is no evidence that this Navcore will offer new features compared to the 9.4xx versions.
A new kernel is used as this Navcore is ...
