Ummmmmm...I think you are attempting to download TomTom maps. You don't want those. Nor do you need any TomTom utilities like AutoActivate.
You need, for iGo, different maps with the *.fbl extension. If you already have Bazzle's iGo--even though the program did not work for you--you probably already have the maps and can just copy them over to your new {iG0}/Content/Map folder.

I found the maps folders which are, map - map_nt - map_ot - map_us.

So just copy those 4 map folders to {iG0}/Content/Map folder.

What i have at the moment is iGO 8.3.5.193799 27th May 2011.rar & Mio_Moov_Unlock.zip.

I have done the unlock with Mio_Moov. Now i unzip the iGO 8.3.5.193799 folder and copy the folder or just the contents of it ? then copy the maps to the right folder

Yes, sort of. That install is obviously setup to use a MapChanger utility. Which you may or may not want eventually. ..Content/Map is your main map folder--put the maps you want in there. The other folders (map_nt, map_ot, map_us) are for specific maps that you would SWITCH to...which you may not need to do. If the "map_*" folders from the Bazzle install are empty, you can just ignore them and not copy them. Make sure that no MAP folder folder has subfolders. For example:
{iGo Folder}/Content/Map/Map would not be correct...or work.

If I could butt-in for a second. He would use Navteq maps for NA and TA maps for Europe. Both would have TA POIs not Navteq. Yes, TA POIs can be used with either map set.
If it ain't broke don't fix it!

Please do NOT post any thanks. Simply press the hand icon with the "thumb up" which is the thank you button.

To do this right as i`m new to it, i copy the yellow folder Australia_830_2290 and put it into the sd root and put the map folders into {iG0}/Content/Map folder.

And restart my satnav.

Maps go here...

..\{iGO}\Content\Map\***.fbl

Where *** is the country name

Copy the {iGO} folder to the root of the SD card.

Start {iGO}.exe by using FileManCE that's in the start menu on the device...

You can create desktop shortcuts later.

1, Well done, yes

3, Shortcuts are easy, go to the thread I linked to with the unlock and scroll to the bottom and read the bit about shortcuts

4, Not sure what you mean?

OK i`ll check the shortcuts thread, and with the battery monitor i mean this:

BATTERY MONITOR - Standalone part of Universal Shell

Also should i start a new thread for this, i have another sd card 8GB and i also have iGO8 Primo i want to put on it.

The Navman S50 won't read an 8GB SDHC card

Primo runs very well with all enhancements on this device

Battery monitor just pops up a message when the battery is low, I think iGO8 does this anyway, Primo certainly does.
