iGo GPS

No, you don't have to (I'm not sure why everyone says so, i haven't found an gps app yet, that requires gpsgate). I'm on 6.5 now, but I don't remember having to use GPSGate with 6.1 either.

There are two ways You can either:

Set the virtual port in "settings - system - external gps - programs" to com4. This enables the gps for programs that do not support the virtual gps port. That's what I do to get for example TomTom to work.

Or for iGo: adding the following to the sys.txt


should be enough for autodetect to work
(or you can manual set to com4 if the gps port was set in the previous step)

Well, heres a short trip result and some advice. First don't start Gps gate and hit the online button located at the top of the menu . If you do This will set a link for gps gates server.
 And your phone will be driving you crazy trying to dial out every minute. 

If you happen to do this....DOH!
You need to open gps gate hit the Setting then go to the output tab at the top then you will see in active output the online link. You can Delete that


 iGO 8.3.1 NORTH AMERICA CONTENT would be a good Google search for POI's , Maps, and Buildings. There is also .dem files (Digital Elevation Model)

My driving results for this...short trip...first trip.
 The voices sound like office workers. Very Clear, and easily heard.
 Some of the roads were outdated. Lots of views with different perspectives.
I like the fact that I can switch map files easily. Quick, and Painless.

I have Garmin, Still, when I started Garmin...Gps gate automaticly change the setting for me.
 Think I'll leave the Gate it keeps my Gps Active alway's unless I reset.
Havn't notice a huge battery drain.

So far it seems static... It does begin with "I"



 

Great thanks! i tried the COM4 setting and it works, now i can free up some more memory.

Don't blame the phone, the program wasn't made for it. It's been modified. ;]

I'll try to include the autostarter/installer soon, but since I have Garmin XT set to autoinstall (you can't have both), I didn't include it.

It's the same as the one for Garmin, put the 2577 (or whatever the number is) folder in the root of your SD card and it'll install. I'll snag the folder soon.

Oh no, I don't blame the phone,  I'm just amaze at all the stuff it could do.  I have a Garmin iQUE M5 which is a GPS and Pocket PC.  Driving the same route, the iGo software recalculates a lot faster than the Garmin.

Also if I'm using the Incite as a GPS, I just go in the Wireless Manager and turn the phone off.

Again   Thank you  :-)

Got it.  I've been trying a couple of days to figure out how to get a shortcut.
