Has anyone found a way to launch iGO 8 PC on a com port larger than 9?
I have the CN-BTU4 BT adapter from Canyon, it comes with Toshiba stack, and it installs the com ports up to 40 and 41.
Another scenario is when I install Bluesoleil one version, then the other one, then another one... and the com ports just keep adding, eventually reaching COM 15 for example.
Modifying the number of the COM 40 to COM 3, isn't an option, iGO refuses to communicate with this so-called "COM 3".
Also, the older COM ports, com 1-> com 15 are reported as being in use. That is not true. Only the newest two ports are in fact used. The rest is microsoft bullsh... How can those be reclaimed? System restore doesn't work, as installing Centrafuse seems to clear all, thoughtfully created restore points!
To use ports greater than 9, input them as "\\.\COM10" instead of "COM10". If you cannot type in the COM port, but only select it from a drop down, then email the person who wrote the application and yell at them for doing it wrong.
As for reclaiming the ports, goto:
Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> Ports (COM & LPT)
Pick a com port, any com port. Right click and go to properties.
Click Port settings, then advanced.
At the bottom, choose one of the "IN USE" com ports, click ok and then ok again. Then go back in to port settings, advanced, and change it back to it's origional COM port number. The other com port should no longer be in use.
It will warn you about using an in use com port, ignore that and click "yes" or "ok" whichever it says.
Edit: for what it's worth, it was badly written anyway if it docent use that syntax behind the scenes anyway...
RevFE - Super fast, modular frontend. Most powerful skinning engine in existence. Strong enough for an i7 made for a fitpc.
Just a shame I can't justify a carpc to use it on anymore.
Yeah... in the past few weeks I yelled something about their mothers. In fact about the stack coders' mothers, and the BT manufacturers' mothers too.
Thanks for the advice, it sort of works... the only problem is, the BT Serial port service keeps dying. I can connect once to the GPS receiver, with Igo8 PC, but at the second attempt, the serial port just disappears. I tried 3 BT adapters, 5 OS-es, on 3 PC-s, and with again 5 different stacks. A few weeks worth of struggle. And with no success.
My nokia ld-3w receiver works like a charm connected to the phone. But with the PC.... it just doesn't want to work right.
I'm on the edge of giving up.... and go hang myself, as it seems I must be extremely stupid for not being able to set it up properly.
Bye bye cruel world
So I had a chance to test out Igo last nite for the first time.
I setup the route from my home to a destination about 35 miles away. I did not follow the first few turning as I know my way around better, it recalculate just fine.
Well after a mile it refuses to reroute, it doesnt seems to know my current position. I re did the planning again, me deliberately not following its route, it once again failed. It did this about 3 or 4 times.
After about 10 miles I hit the same road that it wanted me to be on, the rerouting worked again until Im near my destination. I cant follow Igo that wanted me to do a U-turn on a highway
The GPS hardware setting doesnt seems to save either.
Im using the virgin version + zoomer. Maybe I just dont know how to set it up but at this stage IMO it is unusable piece of
I've been driving around with it for a couple of months now.
No, they don't. If you want permanent settings you'll have to write them in the sys_pc.txt
By now iGO8 has taken me across the half of Europe.Im using the virgin version + zoomer. Maybe I just dont know how to set it up but at this stage IMO it is unusable piece of
Considering the fact it still is a demo version never intended to be released to the public, I'm very impressed with this SatNav software.
Yes I was suprised to find that my Igo version/setup is not reliable when it comes to rerouting.
Im using virgin Igo dated 2008-01 and UK map 2008-01 + zoomer 1.09. I didnt modify anything at all. I guess most are using the same version but as to why mine refuse to reroute I dont know.
Did you deliberately confuse the software by taking different route or did you follow it most of the time? Like I said I can go different route but after a while Igo cant seems to rereroute from my current location until I hit the road where it wanted me to be on at the first place
I think it gives up when it realised Im not following instructions
Virgin + Spawn skin and all my maps are 2008.10
I've got it set for fastest route, but when I drive to work I tend to confuse it all the time by taking shortcuts. It reroutes fine.Did you deliberately confuse the software by taking different route or did you follow it most of the time?

When I switch to shortest way, it takes the roads I normally take, so that routing is OK for me too.
When I'm off for a 700 km drive, I don't really want to play games with the satnav, so I tend to follow that fastest route it's giving me.
When TMC intervenes it reroutes fine too.
Thats good to know, I think it must be the map Im using. Ill find the 2008-10 UK map and see how it goes. Im fairly sure its about
