Hello everyone,
I bought unit few months ago. Everything works except GPS. I tried SD card received with Igo software (US. and Canada) but it didn't work. I contacted the seller on ebay who suggested the same solutions already posted but without result. the screen is frozen on the main page NAVI (although I did all settings: time, path, GPS antenna connection, etc.).. I still get the same message: NOT FIND NAVIGATION SOFTWARE!
could anyone help me to find a solution?
Thanks!

- How do I get other software and maps if I don't like a certain one?
- Where have you guys mounted your GPS antenna?
- that depends on the seller. you can ask them if it will ship with the GPS SD card and if so, ask them which app they provide (* pref iGO).
- unfortunately that's the hard part. you have to dig the nets or find good 'underground' sites or maybe rapidshare, etc.
- I have my gps antenna on my dash, see post #37, #40 for my quick reviews and other tidbids about this unit.

The only time I encounter that error is if iGO.exe is either missing or incorrectly specified under the folder path, or if the microSD card is not physically inserted on the GPS SD card slot (check to make sure you're using the left slot, not the right).

I used the left slot. I entered the path: \storageCard\Igo8\igo8.exe but GPS fail to start and returns to main menu (for over 15 minutes)
When I turn off and restart the unit I get message telling me that GPS didn’t start properly and asking me to return the original configuration
-When I press no: I get same message for 2 more times then the screen returns to GPS main menu
-When I press yes : unit returns to factory configuration (reinitialising clock and path changes to \storageCard\NWDSoftware.Exe
Do you think that the problem provides from unit or sys.txt...?
Thanks for your help.

^ It looks like you're doing everything correctly. I'm guessing you may have a corrupted SD card there mate, sorry.

I'd suggest you contact the seller again to get this sorted out.

I tried to contact my ebay seller several times to confirm version he sent me in my SD card but I got no answer
Wich vesion of Igo are you using?
I'm thinking that version or syst.txt in my SD card can be the cause of initialization crash.
I really need your help. I can not count on my seller anymore... Apparently he sold me the unit without worrying about the after sales service!
Thanks.

I don't know if we have any resident iGO GPS Nav experts here on YW (and unfortunately I'm not one of them).
