Cheap GPS device @ Canadian Tire, may be great for warm weather rides.

if you want to use iGO8:

1. delete the contents of the speedvale directory in the iGO8 directory (or whatever it is called... speed something)
2. unzip any voice files that you want (Kate, Susan, whoever), and copy them into the iGO directory.
3. Copy any additional maps, dems, buildings, and pois that you want into the appropriate files (if you want usa maps)
4. copy the iGO8 directory to the flash drive
5. modify shell.ini to read: \SDMMC\iGO8\Mobilenavigator.exe

Damn... I should go buy about 2 dozen SD cards, program them, and sell them with a slight markup for all the people that have bought this unit :P

After you copy those files into the iGO directory and say yes to over-writing the files, then you will need to go into the settings to select the voice that you want...

Once iGO is loaded up, go to settings, regional settings, then voice options... select one of the tts options.

BTW, I tried it again, if I drop the TTS files into root iGO8, it will replace the content folder, which btw in stock form is over 100 MBs (compared to the much smaller replaced one ...), put the card in and start iGO8 by clicking on Navigation, iGO8 will scream "No language files" and forces me to end it. If I put iGO8 back to stock form, all is fine (but of course no TTS voicing ...). So on my GPs iGO8 definitely doesn't like replacing the content folder ....

I am surely misreading something, since many people got it working without any problems.
 
It didn't work for me the first time either mxs... the first time I just tried extracting it straight from winrar into iGO8...

The time that it worked for me I extracted the 'kate' files first, then cut and pasted them into the iGO8 directory saying yes to over-write... it worked for me the 2nd time.

I would upload what I have, but I don't have anywhere to upload it to.

Yep, delete the speedcam folder content. It doesn't really hang, it's creating a .spud file in your memory and can take kind of long ...

Anyone having problems with these files? When I went to extract them, the computer said that 13 of the files/directories were corrupt.

Down the three files, unzip them and copy them to a SD Card, plug in and run, you might have to delete the files inside the speedcam folder first, but try it without first.

The files worked for me on Thursday.

Thanks for the additional NA files masalma & Vlad.

I've got to admit, this mod is ridiculously easy and definitely worth it. The stock nav program on this Curtis is complete rubbish. Definitely only for use in the cage but that's fine by me.
I am curious to see how the Curtis unit will operate as the build quality is not worth much more than the $47 clearance price

I'm currently looking for a decent copy of Garmin XT for some further options. I'm currently using it on my Nokia N95-8gb and compared to that hack, this was clean and easy.

i have done all the required steps and modified the shell.ini file to look at sd location.. Now when i press on navigation, the igo8 software initiates and went through the English language selection.. it began doing its setup and now for some odd reason its stuck at 'Initializing warning Data" for about 5 minutes.. why isn't it going furthur.

Thank you,
 
i'm so stupid.. the answer to my question was in the last page. And yes peanut butter i have deleted that file now.. thanks again guys for you help
 
I don't know what i'm doing wrong: i've tired downloading the iGO8 RAR files 3 times now, and each time I try to extract them, WinRAR reports a slew of corruption errors.

Help!

2 things, make sure you extract it to a local hard drive, not directly to the SD card, and if you are still having problems re-download them from Vlad's FTP site, he has all the files mirrored there.

I downloaded without issue. let me know i can email to you if you want
 
figured out what was wrong: was using an outdated version of WinRAR, so I've extracted all files now, and it's running beatifully.

HOWEVER, if I want to use the original Curtis Menu screen and have iGO8 launch when I select Navigate, I need to modify the Shell.ini file, right? Where is the file, and will this work if I've taken the easy crack route and downloaded Masalma's crack file?

Masalma?

and for the Mio Shell, which files do I have to copy over to the SD and do I have to rename them?

Anyone?

Anyone?
