Information: Only versions 8. Contours of houses in 2D is not on all maps, and either they can be seen at a certain approach, or do not have any use for the map. Since some TeleAtlas maps are very small, I left a card from local producers, too. See the size and name cards. In one of them can be removed, but some - is addressed to you Maps: Basemap Where can I find the correct and secure files do to it?
Thank you! Written in post PM sent to you. Tags for this Thread update , igo8 , nav. Bookmarks Bookmarks Digg del. All rights reserved. No problem. You can safely explore more than countries with our offline maps and navigation. The iGO Navigation app requires less storage space than other offline navigation apps, so you can save your storage for more important things like photos, videos, and music.
The saved storage space means that you can take as many selfies and time lapse videos as your heart desires! Offering only the features that help you the most, we do away with distractions — leaving just you and the world around you. Because we believe that travel should be experienced between the traveler and the world, not the traveler and their phone.
This full-service app now has improved visualization, accelerated route calculation, reduced storage space requirements, and advanced offline features, making it the best copilot to help you experience the world around you.
Unlock your inner explorer and hit the road like a pro. No more getting lost, no more wasting time, no more clogging your phone, no more searching for WiFi, and no more distractions.
Make it your own map! Customize the map colors, languages, set your preferences, and select what you want to see on your map. Explore like a pro! This works well and has prompted me to actually start saving addresses to my contacts! There are a lot of settings and options but the most obvious one you will need is the GPS setting. You can also set up a compatible TMC receiver in the same way.
Show elevation on the 2D map and show the street names. Select where the Lane Guide information is shown bottom, top or off. Route Planning Select vehicle type from car, taxi, bus, emergency, pedestrian or bicycle. Select the types of road used for navigation from: unpaved roads, motorways, ferries, cross-border planning, permit needed, toll roads eg M6 and charge roads eg London Congestion zone. Note that this is only a preference — if the route needs it then the software will use a road type that you have said 'no' to.
You have 4 choices for route calculation method: short, fast, easy less turns and economical. Navigation When turned off, 'Keep position on road' allows you to view your actual position on the map — handy if you are following your progress on, for example, a train. If turned on you get a small 'dot' on the map screen showing your actual position compared to the 'corrected' position.
Automatic route recalculation can also be adjusted. Should you knock the screen and change your view then iGO 8 will automatically restore your actual position after a set time of inactivity defined by the 'Restore lock-to-position' option.
Finally, 'Automatic Overview' will show a 2D overhead view of your route at a user-defined scale which will display when there are no manoeuvres for a user-defined distance. For example you could set it so that if there are no turns for 5 miles then it will display a 2D map at a 3mile zoom level. This is customisable with respect to the speed at which the volume starts to rise and the speed at which maximum volume is achieved. A nice touch in iGO 8 is that any changes made to the master device volume are automatically restored when you close or minimise the application.
There are 30 program languages to choose from and 50 voice languages. The UK voices are 'Kate' or 'James'; the majority have a choice of male or female voices. It is the regional settings that cause the first major problem with iGO 8 — see the inset box for more information.
The visual warning shows the speed limit in a red circle on the bottom left of the screen and is shown constantly while you are over the limit. The audible warning simply states 'You are over the speed limit' and only sounds once until you drop below and then back over the limit. The speed camera warnings have options for audible warning 'off', 'while approaching' or 'only when speeding' and visible warning.
Like most navigation software, iGO 8 has a safety mode whereby if this is activated you cannot operate the touch screen while driving. The final option is 'warn if too fast for a pedestrian'. If you have had it set as 'Pedestrian' then start to drive 'fast' it will ask if you want to change to 'Car' mode so that you will not be routed the wrong way down one-way streets or down unpaved roads etc.
I like this touch, as I fell foul of this after using pedestrian mode in CoPilot Live 7 then wondering why I was being taken on silly routes with ridiculously long journey times!
A major problem with iGO 8 out of the box is the automatic time-zone option. I found that after running iGO 8 my time would change by an hour as well as my timezone being changed.
Initially I just corrected these and carried on as normal — but this is where the problems began. You see, Windows Mobile has this 'thing' where if an alarm is turned off after the timezone is changed it still remembers it. You end up with phantom alarms going off even when they are turned off in the alarms setting — and because of the change of timezone they are an hour earlier… I had 12 alarms going off at 5.
Calendar alarms are also messed up in this process — I had reminders for appointments an hour after they should have been. The alarm problem was such an issue that I actually did 2 hard resets within a week just to stop them, but as soon as iGO 8 ran again the problem returned. After a considerable number of missed appointments and early mornings I found a way to fix the alarms issue, around the time that Nav N Go announced a 'fix' for the problem. The problem is caused by entries in the Notification Queue in Windows Mobile not being deleted after they have run.
To stop iGO 8 from changing the timezone like it does then you need to follow the instructions here. GPS This was covered earlier in the section and is only mentioned again as one of the options in the settings menu. Menu Here you can turn on animated menus where each option 'pops' into view; while this looks pretty it is of no practical benefit and means it takes longer until you can select anything in the menu — needless to say I disabled this rather quickly!
You can also change the background image and skins from a handful of preset ones. Track Logs You can set the update interval from 1 to 30 seconds and specify how much space the logs should take up. About This contains all the legal information, version numbers, map data sources and license codes. It's very dull but there's a lot of it there if you like that sort of thing! Simple mode The final settings option is for 'simple mode' which vastly cuts down the amount of options you have.
I like to fiddle, so I keep it on Advanced Mode! A good feature to point out is that every settings page has '? This is a nice touch, especially when, like me, you don't 'do' manuals! Managing POIs and User Data Selecting 'Manage' from the main screen takes you to an area where you can manage your saved routes, track logs, POIs, history, favourites, saved search criteria and your user data.
It is also where you go to view any problems that were encountered when importing your contacts from Outlook. You can delete items from your history and delete or rename items in your saved routes, favourites and saved search criteria.
