Chinese GPS headunit help!! "No map card found"

See if you can find someone with the same device and ask for some screenshots or an image of the card.

Some headway has definitely been achieved!! My Caska CA3635 is now loading iGO Primo 2 successfully and everything seems to be functional.

EXCEPT that my headunit keeps switching its "focus" to the function that was previously active. Example: I'm listening to radio, then push "nav" and navigation loads. If I don't interact with the touchscreen for about 3 seconds, the headunit switches back to the radio display. Navigation is still running in the background, but for me to see the navigation display, I have to again select "nav", and then it will only show for 3 seconds and switch back to radio.

If I'm driving around after loading navigation, and I hit a speed limit threshold, the nav display will pop up and display that I'm speeding, but after 3 or so seconds, it switches back to radio.

Anyone have any idea what might fix this?

Thank you so much!!

(backstory>> I thought the headunit had the navigation program installed internally, but it turns out I was completely wrong. The program is housed 100% on the navigation SD card. Having the correct (or should I say "a working") maplaunch.ini was crucial)

Hope someone has some suggestions!

OK, so my headunit is 100% functional now. The headunit itself had a menu option that toggles between navigation audio only or navigation with audio in the background. Now the video focus of the headunit stays on navigation and audio plays in the background. Thanks for all your help with this! By the way, the exact model of Caska headunit is CA3635

Hi,

I have similar head unit from Caska.
All navigation runs from uSD card, it is crucial to have correct mapalauch.ini and corresponding folder structure.
Files and folders listing in root of my uSD:
-----
iGO8 [folder]
ui [folder]
NAVI_MAP.cfg
touch.cfg
maplauch.ini

Contect of my maplaunch.ini :

[Sygic]
path=iGO8\iGO8.exe;
bmpiconpath = ui\Navione.bmp;
showname = igo8;

Contect of my iGO8/sys.txt :

[interface]
maxzoom2d=6000000
show_exit=0
skin="ui_igo8"
resolution_dir="800_480"
vga=0
recalc_voice=0

[map]

3d_scale_carmodel=1
3dcarsizemin=3000
3dcarsizemax=7000
3dcarsizemul=12000

Caska unit is able to run iGo8, iGo Primo 1.... 2.4
Hardware-wise it best suited for iGo8 because iGo Primo versions are more resouce heavy.
You can also put several different navigation programs to uSD (need to add entries to maplaunch.ini) and selectively launch them when Caska unit starts

Good luck!

As I have seen o 2DIN Caska device, the main folder with the navigation Software from the Storage Card is called DESTINTAOR and the exe file is DESTINATOR.exe.
So, my advice is to put a KIT of iGO8 on a Storage Card and to rename the Main folder iGO8 into DESTINATOR and the executable file iGO8.exe into DESTINATOR.exe.
If this solution will work, you could install also Primo 2.4.0 on your device(also depending on the resolution).

Hi all

My brother in law has an iGo sat nav in his Astra VXR and has recently been getting an error when launching the navigation software. The error is:

No file found:
maplaunch.ini

He's no idea why this has happened. The sat nav was working for eighteen months, and then stopped. He'd not removed or written to the file at all. Is there anywhere I can copy the contents that should be on the SD card onto it now? There's absolutely nothing on it when sticking it in the PC.

Thanks.

Tom

see www.navitotal.com/mazda-f109/chinese-gp ... 14023.html about the error

There is a trick to repair. I use "Primo" here as the folder name and Primo.exe as the program name, but it can be "igo" or "igo8" or ...
1. copy the folder "Primo" to sdcard (assuming you have a copy of a working Primo, look for it on this forum when you don't, or use iGO8, if you want even the original one that came with the device can do)
2. create a file in notepad, open the file and write this:
[MAP]
path = Primo\Primo.exe; <-- this indicates how the gps find the path to execute primo.exe, change to your needs (program)
bmpiconpath = Primo\ui_igo9\800_480\loading_1.bmp; <-- this indicates to load loading picture at the beginning of startup of the gps and the resolution is 800*480, if not, change to the proper numbers, note that IGO8 uses "ui_igo8", not "ui_igo9"
3 save tha file as"maplaunch.ini" on the sdcard,
4. populate (copy) map, building, poi, dem, voice, and other file into corresponding folder in folder "Primo/content".
When the sdcard is inserted in the headunit, it should work. (I hope)

Where would I be able to find the Primo file as my brother in law doesn't have a copy of it anywhere?

This is a good place to start : http://www.navitotal.com/
Serious: the forum si divided in sections: TomTom, IGO Miomap, etc, a bit further down fixed navigation systems and Android.
Take a closer look at "IGO, Miomap and others " and see the subsections for maps, software, ... ?
