one more question is why I cant rotate screen with IGO8? some one have this problem?

Best Regards, Filipe Abrantes

The file .kml must be converted. i don't remember the program's name (see gpsforum.biz).
location for speedcams: \iGo8\CONTENT\SPEEDCAM\

you can't rotate the screen because of the iGO version you have. Yours I presume it's a beta.

if Igo8 the version you are using surporting this, then its OK,
also you can change the config for the file SYS,
example, If igo8 support 240x320 and also 320x240.
if you like to use 320x240
then you go to SYS to amend it
[rawdisplay]
screen_x=320
screen_y=240

or

[rawdisplay]
screen_x=240
screen_y=320

i challenge anybody in claiming igo8 works well on the trinity! try routing a long trip and you will get "not enough memory"...this is simply a lack of RAM memory.....:rolleyes:

Hello I also installed igo8, but sometimes goes to shots (especially in the round) and delays the position of gps / - 20mt.
To you it works perfectly?


Ciao anche io ho installato igo8;ma a volte va a scatti(in modo particolare nelle rotonde) e ritarda la posizione del gps di +/- 20mt.
A te funziona perfettamente??

Running iGO8 on a 64M device is a challange, I agree. Some claim it is impossible, and I was one of thenm until recently, but there are some go around that helps make it work. I currently run a fully loaded ROM, not even a naked one, and able to run TouchFlo Manila most of the time, and have iGO8 run with some tweaks.

First make sure the following lines are on your sys.txt:

[debug]
cache=2048
reserve_memory=1500000

[navigation]
sim_speed_factor=3

That by itself will allow iGO claculate long routs (at least 500 miles long), recalculate when taking the wrong turn, display 3D maps with terrain without delays, and most important - will not crash, while allowing phone to work, emails to be recieved, etc.

If your ROM does not have 20M RAM free before iGO runs, it is most likely because of today plugins. Here is a neat trick. Use mToday (see mobile.htc.com). It's a freeware that allows to have two today screens. Create a secondary today screen that has only iGO on it. I gain more than 20M with this trick, and iGO runs happily...:cool:

I have to admit I did not invent this, but I gathered this info into one place for the Trinity folks as somehow iGO8 is a big deal for me (ex TT user, but iGO rulez for me) but not mentioned too often in this forum for Trinity. I even made tynynt mad when I was asking him about his tynynt015 and iGO8..:p

Oh, and TT8 is not a PDA version as far as I know, not that I care right now. I have abandoned TT for good. I still have a TT paid acount until March 2009 (yes, I am legit) I can not care less...
