iGO 2006/2008, MioMap and wm6.1

There seems to be a problem with iGO and Mio. When you launch it, nothing happens.
I found a way to make it work - sometimes it requires to do a soft reset for it to work:
Security Warning - turn it to disable and it should work.

Well for me it does not work following your recommandations
Software: iGO 2006 Myway Plus
ROM: XTRM 1.0-6.1x WWE TILT X-version
Which ROM are you using?

both worked for me on Duttys, Alex's, and Sleuth's roms...be sure to have the security disabled as well as assisted GPS disabled.

Something else
I have seen posts about a conflict between one of the HTC today plugins causing a problem with IGO & MIO, I had used both on the WM 6.0 ATT factory rom but no joy on the 6.1 roms (I am sorry that I have not tested to see the exact item causing the problem) I started to use Tom Tom and that is working well for me (you can get the demo version with one free local map Download) or the full version is only about $150.00
Cheers

I just tested both iGO 2006/2008 making sure both the security alerts and the assisted GPS were disabled and even disabling the HTC Home plugin.
Result: still a no go I am afraid (the programs don't even launch)
EDIT: actually I did a hard reset on the rom I was on and now strangely it works

where can i find igo2008 ? I would test it.

With both disabled on 3.03 stock WM6.1 rom, iGo 06 still doesn't work.

I can honestly say that I have no idea what its not working for some of you...I just pulled mine up last night to map a route (igo06). I havent really done anything special to the settings other than what I mentioned earlier. Sorry I could not be of more help.

It may have to do with the <ahem> legality of the various versions of iGo/Miomap that people are using.

What ROM do you have?... Some roms have modded the XIP protocol allowing iGO and MIOMAP to function.
For those that have iGO, the problem is not in running the program. It is in the installation. some ROMs would halt the installation at about 80%, the installation meter disappears however your screen will display the iGO logo and program. When clicked .. nothing happens .. since the installation, due to a conflict, did not finish.
Weighing all the nice features of WM6.1 against the less troubles WM6.0, I would choose the WM6.0 any time. I can deal with not having a feature of two, but it is frustrating to have your phone crap out on you because of A NICE FEATURE as in 6.1.
my 3 1/2 cents....

I had the same problem, turned off the HTC Today.. and then iGO 2006 would work.
..I don't know about iGO 8 ?!?

I gave up on WM6.1
I have now all my programs installed and functioning great on Sleuth 1.2. with WM6.0
iGO never functioned as good with any other ROM. I installed Opera full and TCPMOP core player and I can watch U-Tube and can stream video and music from any source.
The Sleuth 1.2 is the best ROM out there so far. If you flash Sleuth's ROM please donate accordingly.

I had an issue with IGO, where it wouldn't start or would take ages to load if my network connection was established.
However, if I clicked disconnect from media net or isp, or whatever, it would loads right up...
Everytime.

iGo doesn't start after installing.
I'm using Dutty's 6.1 final.
I made it work! Just remove HTC Home from Today screen, keep Mio on Today screen. Then do soft reset, then click on Mio on Today screen and it starts!
btw, I don't need fancy HTC Home after 5 minutes trying it...

I too can get it to run by disabling the HTC Home plugin but would like it to work with the plugin enabled because its a pain to have to keep doing that...anyone have any ideas....I got a six pack for anyone who can solve this issue....

My rom varies day to day. But I just worked with miomap alot this weekend while on a retreat. Worked fine with Sleuths 6.1.

MIO Stopped working for me as well.
I was able to get it to work with disabling the HTC HOME screen.
I have CE OS 5.2.19199 Build 19199.1.0.0
ROM Version: DCSv1.5-WM6.1 WWE
ROm Date: 01/29/08
Radio: 1.64.08.21
Protocol: 25.74.40.02H
Where is the option to modify the SECURITY SETTINGS?

I want to bump this thread up..
There's gotta be a fix for this. I want to have HTC Home and be able to run iGo.
Anybody know what can be done about this? Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?

confirmation
i can confirm that disabling the home plugin and assisted gps allows iGo 2006 to be installed.
you can then just turn them back on.
<edit> No ... I'm wrong ... if you turn the home plugin and assisted gps back on ... iGo stops working.
Now it was working when i was using a different 6.1 rom, but I cant remember which now.
A

if you turn off the today plugin and soft reset your device
both igo2006 and igo8 works...
if some chefs could make a solution to work it without soft reset we could have a script to turn it on and off...
do you know mortscript?

igo and a-gps

I have activated Assisted GPS with a Tweak Program, and after that, Igo starts, but freezes before main screen.
Doesn't Igo work with AGPS?
Any ideas or solutions?

Yes it does... with some roms.
do a search and you find that a few others already head this issue.
which rom do you use?

I personally do not use AGps...to me its seems to make the actual on screen tracking kinda of buggy.....YMMV....

now i use the dutty's wwe 6.1 rom

Now hold on there... As far as I understand by reading about aGPS, ROMs cannot decide on aGPS VS regular GPS, it's more or less hardware or firmware dependant. aGPS will require lots more things, like server to contain tracking info, lots of config files and perhaps even drivers to make it work.
Or am I wrong?

Ahh yes. Thanks so much. I've been trying to get iGo working for a week. I had enabled Assisted GPS via Kaiser Tweak. Once I disabeled it, now iGo found the internal GPS.
Thanks again...

GPS help on Kaiser

Hi all,
I recently instaled WM 6.1 on my Kaiser. Except from some good things there are some bad ones. The worst one is a problem with GPS.
Software I use (IGo and Google Maps) can not detect GPS device.
Any solutions to this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Mike

Need more details......

What ROM did you install? Does it or do you have QuickGPS or SeaSGEE installed? What device do you have?

Some ROMs and Radios have compatibility issues.
Quite possibly, it could be GpsGate if you have it output GPS data on the wrong port.
If you have GpsGate, uninstall it, soft reset the phone, and try again.
If you GpsGate isn't the issue, go to Settings -> Connections -> External GPS
and make sure you have "GPS program port" set to COM4.
Come to think of it, my GPS isn't working either Looks like I'm having the same problem as you.
I just solved it right now by doing a hard reset.

Sorry it took mie so long to asnwer but I was out on a trip with no access to info you guys asked for to help me solve my problem,
My device is HTC TyTN II Kaiser, bought not through some GSM company but with oryginal HTC setup (prior to this unlucky upgrade I made).
From Settings -> device information i can read the following info:
ROM version 3.03.405.0 WWE
ROM date 01/08/08
radio version 1.64.06.04
protocol version 25.70.40.02W
I did try to set the external GPS port in
Settings -> sytem -> external GPS (i have it here not in system -> connections)
i used the following settings
I used GPS program port: com4
GPS hardware port: none (when i try to set it to com0 or com1 it just gets changed to none once i close and reopen then window. baud rate 4800
access - anabled manage GPS automaticaly.
I do hope info you guys now have will make it possible for you to sugest some easy way to overcome this problem.
BTW - problem is that tom tom or i-go just do not detect GPS device.
as a supporting software I have Quick GPS which works ok - it downloads latest satelite data with out major problems.
Thanks for help in advance,
Mike

than there has to be something wrong w/ settings somewhere. if u had a faulty gps reciever than quickgps wouldn't work either.
try a hard reset and reinstall the nav programs.

Hi, I had the same problem but with TomTom Navigator on a Kaiser. I tried all setting possibilities but nothing helped. After a hard reset, it was OK with automatic settings, nothing to change. Hope it helps.

hmm i've used both tomtom and igo and havent had any problems...try disabling agps

Thx guys,
Not sure why I did not try it before but after your sugestions I just set all the settings to factory and it started working for both software.
I feel a bit stupid, sorry to waste your time and thx for help,

Help...GPS software problem

I have a HTC P4550 Kaiser.
I tried to install iGo 2006 plus, but is not working. After the progam is installed and I try to start the application nothing is happening. The windows mobile 6.1, is preinstalled, everything seems to work fine, except the GPS software. I bought the device from US, with the windows allready installed.
If someone knows how to fix this...
Thanks!

You could try turning off AGPS with Advanced Config, this has seemed to help a few people!

Did you choose the correct COM port? [email protected]?

For iGO if you use the search function you will find out that it does not work when htc home is enabled on WM6.1 AFAIK i had to turn it off.
Works on WM6.0

TomTom Navigator

Anyone has tried TomTom Navigator with the raphael?
How did u success?
I've installed it once, but had some problems that made it kinda useless, very bad gps lag and the signal level indicator was missing (IE. saying no signal).
EDIT: First post in this area, yay

TomTom installed just fine and worked fine yesterday, but now it can't find any satelite signals. I had the same problem on the Tilt. Guess I am giving up on TomTom.

HTC TP TomTom works just fine
Hi
Yes I'm using TomTom almost every day to/from work and it works just fine. TomTom had a major update a few weeks ago and after the update it works perfect. I bought the map-version on their website and had some struggle to install it on my phone, but after activate my SD-micro card like TomTom explained on their support site, it works just fine. It has fix on at least 5 satellites in less than 30 sec every time. But it's important to have a radio that gives you that the possibilities to have just that. There is good information to find the best radio in Raphael WiKi forum. TomTom has included traffic information as well, so I use any suggestion in order to avoid blocked streets.
Sincerely
Morten from Oslo, Norway

What version is it? I'm still using one the binary I found here in the forums as I thought there wasn't an official one working yet. (i.e. you have to use application binaries from phones with it preinstalled.)
Mine works fine as well though, but it's always nice to go "official" when you have bought the maps anyway....

After I added the tweaks for TT (mentioned on XDA) TT works much better. Better responce and accuracy. (on MDA Compact IV original T-mobile NL rom)

Mind to show us the way to that tweak? Mine TT7 on my CDMA TP works just fine (it finds satellite quite quickly) but there is some noticible lags.

Thanks GVR! Seems like that solved the lagging problem on my CDMA TP! Now TT7 is much faster in terms of updating my location.
And that was my only issue with the GPS here, I was able to get a fix with 9 satellites INSIDE a highrise in downtown in less then 5 seconds.
Awesome! I'm going to save that and hope someone can create a cab for those edits.

Hi guys
I have recently purchased HTC Touch PRO (Raphael) and tried to install TomTom Navigator 7.450 (9028) for Windows Mobile with Tomtom Western_and_Central_Europe_2GB_810_1940 but can not do it.
I mean I have installed TOMTOM all fine but it shows me that maps are not supported by this device
Can some one help me and point me in the right direction on how to install these maps ?
Cheers and many thanks

You took a map version 8.10. That will not work
The right ones have the version 7.xx

After a major update true TomTom Home 2.4 I've got version 7.910 (9185). That is the official version and I'm using maps for western and central Europe bought from TomTom. I started with the TomTom CAB application found here in the forum, since there wasn't any to download. But last week the program (CAB) in my HTC TP was updated automatically using Home 2.4. Even my maps are now automatically update once TomTom relizes updates.
I have a signed CAB version in my PC and HTC TP from TomTom now, that came with the update, but I do not know if it can be used by others. Maybe it is signed to be used only with my TomTom maps?
The CAB file is named navcore_7.910.9185_TT_SIGNED.htc_raphael.CAB
I will not upload anything until someone tells me wheter I am aloud to do so and that it will not be a violation in this forum.

Im afraid to say you will not get much help because these are maps that werent purchased or obtained legally, hence it falls under the Warez category. I kindly advice you to stop asking instead before you get banned. Have a nice day

I installed TT7 and ran a test 2 days ago. The result was GPS show me 500 ft ahead

Can I please get a link to this program?

Link to TT7
you can find it in this forum

I think it's Xtreme XL post.

FYI ... TT7 is backward compatible with the 6.75 maps.

Hi, I wasted an entire weekend trying to get TT VERSION 7 to work. I have downloaded TT_Nav_7.450.9028_repack3-vga-black and I have a Southern_Africa_v7.20.1862 map.
After installation, TT goes through the process of choosing lang, speaker etc.It then asks me to download a free map, Southern Africa is not located in the list.
Can somebody please please assist and tell me what I am doing wrong and How can I activate the Southern_Africa_v7.20.1862 map.
Is there a way where I can just use the Southern_Africa_v7.20.1862 map and not download any others? Another issue, How do I activate my GPS unit?
Thanks in advance

you have to place your Southern Afrika map in the folder My Documents @ your memory card, otherwise Tomtom will not see the the map
