Becker Z101 and IGO8

I have done as Fatboyfun said and after a quick search the device retrive a message of OK and complete search.
Port: 2
Baud: 57600

I tried to set a street to activate it but almost for sure i cannot have a sinal now because i leave on a building...

My sys.txt is:
[folders]
has_secondary_root=0

[rawdisplay]
screen_x=480
screen_y=272

[debug]
skip_eula=1

[interface]
show_exit=1

[other]
demo_enabled=0

[warning]
speedcam_warning=1
speedcam_enabled=1

[sound]
ding=0

Tomorrow when i leave home i will test it again and hope this had did the trick...

Allways when a new software is installed on a device this GPS autodectection procedure has to be done?

Thks

Add to your sys.txt and make sure you save it:

[gps]
port=2
baud=57600

[debug]
skip_eula=1

[interface]
show_exit=1

[other]

[warning]

speedcam_enabled=1

[sound]

Hi again friends...GPS has finaly got the signal!
Thks for your help again...

Now, has one problem never come alone im facing another issue...after insert some route on GPS i get no sound (TTS) telling the way that i should take...despite i have activate and selected on the device the respective TTS that i have installed on MNAV\content\voice (i have on this folder two .zip files that are the TTS files that i have found for my country (Portugal))

These files must be on .zip right? they are not to be extracted i think...

I have tried another TTS file and it worked OK. Seems that the problem was really from my TTS files...

Gezzz...one more big problem happened...
somethimes when navigation in on suddenly this message appear:
[Please Register or Login to download file]

Do you guys know what is this? Something about resolution of the device?

Its being really dificult get rid of the problems...

Thks

It's possible. I never saw that error message before. What is your device's proper resolution?

I have.
Your data.zip is not compatible with the driver alert icon set. This issue happened with certain iGO8.3.4 (and 5) + skin combinations. Not every skin (or skin version) had the issue.

To solve things you can try
(1) find another data.zip from another Becker build that is compatible (I don't know which one is)
(2) using another mapset (newer/older, Replace Navteq <-> TeleAtlas-TomTom)
(3) disable driver alerts (easiest).
(4) More complicated to explain:
you could take a look in data.zip (and branding.zip) in the section ui_igo8_da>icons>sys>directions.icons.
(BACK UP FIRST !!!) Use Winrar build lower than 4.20 or TotalCommander to do this.

You should find something like
diriconbig800_000.bmp
diriconbig800_001.bmp
diriconbig800_002.bmp
diriconbig800_003.bmp
diriconbig800_005.bmp
diriconbig800_006.bmp
etc...

Now if it looks like
$diriconbig800_000.bmp
$diriconbig800_001.bmp
etc...
(notice the $?) delete all $ in the names.

OR

delete all diriconbig**.bmp files.

IMPORTANT : I can not guarantee which of these solutions, if any, will work as expected on a Becker device. These are typical iGO solutions.
So again: BACK UP before you do anything !!

Hi friends...Becker Z101 has the resolution of 480x272 pixels
The maps that im using are: (in \content\map)
Portugal_83_NQ_2012.Q4_130313_(SP).fsp
Portugal_83_NQ_2012.Q4_130313_(DA).fda
Portugal_83_NQ_2012.Q4_130313_(AP).fpa
Portugal_83_NQ_2012.Q4_130313.fbl

When that "failed to open file: diriconbig800_000.bmp" happened i searched over the internet and found this:
http://www.navitotal.com/archive/index.php/t-6856.html

I have done what the friend nabi explained there and saved then when i turned on the device another error message has happened:
[Please Register or Login to download file]

I were arround the device again for 2 hours trying to solve this and i had even put another new data.zip to replace the one that i have changed but no luck...the problem continue...

The only solution i had was formating the device and put another fresh new iGO8_8.3.5.231128

Im gonna now put all the stuff back (map, voices, POI, etc) that i had and see...then i post here again

Once more...thank you guys for your precious help

Regarding the loading.bmp error message, look here http://www.navitotal.com/showthread.php?9534-Loading.bmp-screen-error-messages

Thanks chas521...if it happens again...i no need anymore to install all again...

Should i erase just the diriconbig800_0xx.bmp 0 files and let the other with the $ as they are?
