WM 6.5 and iGO 8

[edYYZ]

Has anyone had any trouble running iGO 8 with WM6.5? On my vogue, it's always freezing at the "starting" stage of the startup screen. I haven't tested it on WM 6.1 so I'm not sure if it's a problem with 6.5 specifically or the vogue. Anyone have similar experiences?

If I remember correctly IGO8 does not like the internet assisted aspect of the internal gps chip. You must disable the internet feature in the registry and use unassisted gps only. Sucks when your gps locks are unreliable so I always carried a bluetooth gps module when using IGO8.

I have to prime the gps on mine with something like AstroGps Launcher or it will not work. Search for iGo8 launcher here in the forums and you will get up and running in no time.

The search didn't turn anything up but it looks like the priming trick did work. I'm just using GPS viewer but it looks like if i use "open GPS" it launches fine. Thanks so much!

Don't forget about GPSGate! I'm using WM6.1, aGPS, and GPSGate to get my iGo8 running. Gets sat lock faster.

I found a link to the launcher Here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2582856&postcount=9) you go.

Thanks! Maybe I'll give GPSGate or Astra a try.

if you added the speed cams folder, it takes igo 8 a little while longer to boot due to loading the speedcam txt files

I've installed NFSFAN's V12 (WM 6.5) and tried to use iGO8 and encountered similar problem of freezing up at starting page. Any input is appreciated.

Desi Chookrah LOL,

in NFSFAN's rom there is a folder under system tools. In it you will find GPS Viewer. Run that program (com port should be 4) and click open GPS. while this is running, start IG8 up. make sure in IGO8 you scan for ports and it should pick up where your GPS is.

I use astrogpslauncher to avoid this problem.

Me I have igo8 with laugher and is running perfect. My system is NFSFAN's 6.5 ROM V13. :):):)

If you open up GPS viewer and "open GPS" before launching iGo then it starts up with no problems!

pfft. igo works fine with APGS. I've been using it since it was fixed (agps that is) and I have no trouble with igo8. I get a lock in about 4 seconds.

[terrormist]

How do you change the resolution of iGO on vogue, I have it running using the gps viewer before I launch iGO but the resolution needs to be adjusted.:rolleyes:
