Looket G8 TomTom or iGo   

Postby Atasas » Thu Mar 03, 2011 12:01 am

Yup! it did found GPS, but not maps..
ANW copying as I said earlier.. will take 10 more min

also you might not noticed double whammy... \DRIVE\DRIVE (another folder within) as where Drive.exe again.. will just rename that one and place TC in there for experiment sakes.
Thanks again and if anything, hopefully we'll catch up tomorrow!
EDIT:
Sorry, got carried away and there is no double whamy now... dunno- something has been mixed up from yesterday perhaps.

It works!
loaded one error

what remains is to get to use to iGO (so far appears OTT on few things and lacking plain quick functions as for navigate to postcode etc...
Which maps would be compatible for full EU coverage?
Tomorrow will post step by step as how it is all (for future readers) and wander also as how to kill (if worth that) remainder of Sygic (looket) joy.
Thanks and I'll be back in midday tomorrow!

Same as!
despite this error- still works! will try on a road and see if I can live with it.
Still, If I decide to live with it is it iGO Q3 maps, that are compatible?
Thanks!

If it works then leave it as it is.

as ever!- you are the star!
everything works just fine, but complaint about OTT features, not 100% functionality (regarding addresses-post codes)remains...
Now as for guide- not sure as weather "we" are done with it? not sure as weather to kill somehow m8main.exe before saying all is done? also, that minor (dont get it myself as why or what it does error)-- worth fixing? or is there way to completely wipe out Sygic and try TT again.
Not sure again as how to ask, but in simple terms (I am n00b still) would prefer TeleAtlas maps (hopefully) and wander if they would work with Sygic (Looket) as well... maps I had from you they seem to be different formats to ones, in original Looket Update.
as for actual, initial topic title- all is solved by you for iGO Primo to run. But do have minor reservations still as it is what I like or even just map update of original soft will do!

I know it's different to Tomtom but trust me it is an excellent navigation application, The download link i gave you for the maps were Teleatlas maps, They have been updated since i uploaded them though.

Again just type the postcodes into the city box on the address search page (AA11 1AA)

iGO maps are a different format to Sygic so will not work.

In my experience if Tomtom doesn't work straight away, then it's usually not worth the effort as it either constantly goes wrong, or just impossible to get working at all, It didn't see the GPS receiver and the programme that fixes it (portsplitter) didn't run at all. So unless someone else offers a fix, i'd forget about it.

The error can be fixed, You just need to edit a file but for the life of me i can't remember which file :crazy:, I'll get back to you about it.

The beauty of iGO is you can have it exactly as you want it, You can have all the fancy effects and TTS or none at all, or any combination of... There are skins included with the download, (Goto settings->display) colour themes and 3D cars available.

Do we need to kill m8main.exe? Chas always says "If it ain't broke, Don't fix it"

Re the EULA error message...

Add these lines to the sys.txt file in the Primo directory.

[debug]
skip_eula=1

This will disable the EULA check.

Worked!
You are a star!
Getting to use to iGO- not too bad, still few clicks too many as for where to go etc, but not "worse", than TT- different!

There are skins available that add new features and fix problems, Pick the one that matches your resolution.

In the skin section of the iGO sub-forum.

Holy thread resurrection by a Leeching bugger (meh) :pray:
It packed up completely, iGo doesn't start, if it does, maps doesn't load...

(mostly at FatBoyFun) or anyone a bit brainier...
Anyone would guide me again for what packages I need please?
I will require maps for whole EU again.
Many thanks!

Long time no see...

Use this version of iGO here

And then take your pick of these mapsets, Navteq or Teleatlas (Now known as Tomtom maps for iGO)

You only need one mapset!

Installation is exactly the same as before!
