-----eof---
the bitmap gfx in the ui is only 320x240,
but the text is clear 640x480.
the map is 640x480 ultra sharp, too.
i rode that 640x480 bitmap gfx will not released by the manufacturer in the next time.
but a gfx kiddy (theme freak) can skin the grafix located in the data.zip, and save it to
data.zip/ui_igo8/480_640
(i hope. :-) it is the logical result of the infrastructure of the data.zip)
but its a o lot of pixeling :-)))

Yep.. Looks a lot sharper.
Personally, I removed the VGA=1 string. This makes the display buildup a little too slow to my liking.. Otherwise, Nice!

iGO8 runs nicely on my Diamond - but it refuses to find any GPS satellites. Used autodetection to locate phone's internal GPS and that worked fine, but either the GPS is not working or iGO8 doesn't really talk to it, despite claiming otherwise. Spent some 15 minutes on the yard just now, waiting for the phone to find some satellites, but no luck.

Doesn't matter what GPS software you use in Diamond...the problem will be always the same: Lagging!
And I still haven't sorted out if it's because of GPS driver or because of VGA driver...or both...
But navigation with Diamond is becoming a head-ache...:mad:

Unbelievable difference, Igo8 owe you big time!
As for lagging, I do not notice it much, I am using rom 360v2, a cleaned out stock rom.

Are these text files supposed to be adjusted through the phone? Or when the phone is plugged into the computer - then you edit it with notepad?

No its not working:(
according to my sys file it's already in VGA and unter [rawdisplay] it says: landscape.....
do I just have to change that to 'portrait'??
thanxx in advance

yeh u could try that, just restoring PIM Backup then i will give it a go.
for some reason 607 text messages is taking a long time to restore!
UPDATE: Changing [rawdisplay] to portrait does indeed turn the screen around... but all the graphics are landscape, so the edge is cut off everything.
I will look into this a bit more...

On the new iGO 8.3 maps you need to add to the SYS.txt also

sdcard_dsk_num=7

with new original version 8.3.2.64029 there is data.zip with full VGA resolution, if you want to try just add following into your data.zip, so it will look like data.zip/ui_igo8/vga and in the vga folder 240_320, 320_240 etc.: http://rapidshare.com/files/176104232/vga.zip
