iGO8 problem   

Postby Fatboyfun » Thu Dec 01, 2011 11:37 am

Move the save folder to your PC, This resets iGO to it's default settings, you'll have to set everything up again.

A new save folder will be created.

Move, ie, the folder is on your PC and not on your device.

The idea is to delete the save folder from your device, but have a copy on your pc just in case.

The save folder is in the iGO8 folder where the content folder is.

Make sure there is no save folder, then start iGO again (A new save folder will be created)

iGO will be reset to default, so set it up again.

If I can butt-in again, navguy, the more content you add to the program the more is demanded upon the memory of your device. It can lead to memory errors and then your program will not finish loading to completion. Hence, you should only put the content into a program that is necessary for your location. MOST content is just eye candy anyway. Also, if you have been reading all the recent posts here, I do NOT recommend going from GPS forum to GPS forum adding pieces to your program. Stay here because you got your program here and this is where you will get the proper support. If you add something from another forum and then things go haywire, you ONLY have yourself to blame and then you have to start all over from scratch again.
If it ain't broke don't fix it!
ALWAYS BACK-UP YOUR FILES/FOLDERS BEFORE MAKING EDITING CHANGES!

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

You can safely delete the voices you don't need and the basemaps. The same for the language files, maps, schemes, skins, DEM file, ....
In short, all that is in in the content folder that is not needed by you. Of course, you need at least one voice, one language, one day scheme and one night scheme. Move all those files to your PC so that they are not in the iGO folder any more, but you can copy them back easily when wanted.
That is the beauty of iGO/Primo, it's a basic (DOS based) structure and does not make changes to the registry. Adding/deleting files is very simple.
