Igo 8.3.2.97313 + HD2 + auto-rotation/tilt + HIGH RESOLUTION - how to?...

---

Hi,

Currently trying 9.3.2.97313 on Winmo 6.5 emulator (haven't got my hd2, yet) and I'm having difficulty configuring it to support both high-resolution landscape (800x480) and portrait (480x800) formats. inside the folder "ui_igo8" (located in data.zip) there are two sub-folders - "480_800" and "800_480", as well as some lower resolutions sub-folders, but they are irrelevant for us.

How do I set the "sys.txt" file?... I found out that "sys.txt" has to be configured correctly before installation. further changes to this file after the program is installed, won't apply in any case.

Did someone manage to make igo8 switch between the formats using the device's rotation-sensor (while maintaining the high resolution format), or its somewhat reinforced to support one format?...

Here's what I tried so far (pictures + "sys.txt" settings for each example) :

Boned-stock file - standard low resolution - landscape + portrait :

[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"

[interface]
skin="ui_igo8"
maxzoom2d=6000000
show_exit=1

[debug]
skip_eula=1

landscape (stock, low resolution) - http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/2...klandscape.png

portrait (stock, low resolution) - http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/6...ckportrait.png

Changed file - high resolution (landscape setting inside "sys.txt") - landscape + portrait. look what happens in portrait mode :

[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"

[interface]
skin="ui_igo8"
resolution_dir="800_480"
vga=1
screen_x=800
screen_y=480
maxzoom2d=6000000
show_exit=1

[rawdisplay]
autoconfig=1
highres=0
class="auto"
driver=GDI

[debug]
skip_eula=1

landscape (you can see a clear improvement in quality over the stock landscape) - http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/4323/highlandscape.png

portrait (not being scaled to fit *argh*) - http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/8...hportraite.png

of course, I can switch between 800_480 to 480_800 inside sys.txt each time before I install the application, but it won't make the application do the switch automatically. I tried to set two individual "resolution_dir", won't change anything.
I read that htc HD users tend to add "autoconfig=1" under [rawdisplay], in order to make it switch (I doubt it'll maintain the correct resolution, it will probably use stretch/resize algorithms instead of using original files). as you can see, I tried that also, but it won't change anything.

I'll appreciate any suggestion...

Thanx!

I do not think iGO8 can switch the screen automatically. It need to be restarted each time for screen rotation.

That´s right. Unfortunately you have to restart iGO after manually setting your direction in the settings.

I hope in future it, just like CoPilot, rotates automatically and pinching will be available.

thanks guys. I guess I'll have to live the manual way for some time... probably until the next version of iGo is out...

oki
I have a Mio A501 Phone device, with WM5
I instal the iGO 8.3.xx with 2009.02 europ maps ... but after I walk 1 km the device has blocked

if I instal iGO 8.0.xx with old maps ... the device function very well ... but iGO 8.0.xx dont sport the new maps 2009.02

i think the device Mio A501 dont have inought memory for iGO 8.3.xx ... in this case what can I do, what must to write or change in the sys.txt

On iPhone version, iGO MyWay 2009, it can rotate screen automatically using G-sensor, but not in Windows Mobile version. iGO should be restarted each time But may be in iGO 8.4 amigo (same as iGO myWay 2009 iphone version), but I can try it after 3 days.. (my leo comes)

I hate amigo's GUI, too simplified. I'd rather wait for the next navn'go.

I agree with Fatherboard ,
iGO 8 is the best in Nav N go series

no solution here?

I would really like to enable switching between landscape and portrait without having to change the system file every time. We need to find a way to get that going in the settings...

I need ideas to test a little bit...

Although this thread is a bit "old", try using BSB Tweaks 1.5...
