Is it possible to have both iGO8 and iGO Primo on same GPS?

Do specify in sys.txt in iGO and in Primo where to find the contents!

OK, here is my sys file content. Right now I have only Primo on the SD. I understand what I need to do with the folders as UPSS mentioned above. I will appreciate if someone could specify the entry in sys file.

Thanks.

Code:

[interface]
show_exit=1
resolution_dir="480_272"
vga=0

[rawdisplay]
highres=0
screen_x=480
screen_y=272
stretch=1

[gps]
port=2
baud=57600

[interface]
extra_settings=1

[power]
skip_suspend_process=1
skip_resume_process=1
skip_suspend_process_all=1
skip_resume_process_all=1

[warning]
speedcam_warning="1"

[sound]
ding=1
sound_q_length=200
queue_length=200
mute_os_key=1
pause_mp3_sooner=1

[tts]
tts_buffer=131072
announce_exit_directions=1
tts_logics=3
priority="HIGH"
always_say_road_names=1
announce_street_name=1
skip_exit_numbers=0

[navigation]
sim_speed_factor=3.0

[folders]
has_secondary_root=0 

Example of Primo sys.txt lines: (you do not need them all, but the path must be correct of course)

[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/iGO8_PRIMO" ; change this if applicable
data="/Storage Card/iGO8_PRIMO" ;
content="/Storage card/igo8/CONTENT"
kmlpoi="userdata\poi" ;"content\userdata\poi"
kmlroute="userdata\route" ;"content\userdata\route"
;user_car="mycars"
tts_nua_v5="\Storage Card\igo8_primo\tts_nua_v5"
tts_loq="\Storage Card\IGO8\TTS_LOQ" ;needs loqmsx.dll LoqTTS6.dll LoqTTS6_util.dll LoqDutch6.5.dll
has_secondary_root=0 ; do not search for other igo8 distributions



By using these lines (with the correct path !!!!!!!) you can add the content folder where ever you like. The lines for iGO/Amigo are the same (except has_secondary_root does not exist in iGO/Amigo)

@sbi and dannyu

Just to answer you so there is no confusion, yes, you can share content between programs of the same gps manufacturer. UPSS gave you good information as to how that can be accomplished. In post #8, Nabi showed you how to make an entry in the Primo sys.txt in order to have different navs on the same SD card. In post #12, Nabi showed you the actual sys.txt entries that can be made in order to do that sharing.

Thank you all. I will look at it shortly.

It works perfect. I added only one line to the Primo sys file and that is the CONTENT path. I kept the CONTENT folder under the iGO8 and the sys.txt points to /storage card/igo8.

Thank you all again.

For safety, add the "has_secondary_root=0" line.
Primo (at least 1.0) searches for other iGO entries on the card and crashes when found them.

Thanks nabi. It already had that, I just added the CONTENT path.

Code:

[folders]
has_secondary_root=0
content="/Storage card/igo8/CONTENT"
