Igo8 Software Windows Ce Devices
A complex question and I can only provide advice but not answers. It seems that the current PC WMP won't connect with some Windows mobile devices anymore as another user has complained about this. Your Windows CE OS is a little different than Windows Mobile but Windows Mobile was based off of it so there is some, limited cross-compatibility. The media player, if indeed your CE OS has one, is incorporated into the OS in ROM so you would need an update to your OS from the manufacturer. Sounds like the manufacturer is not very responsive. Thank you for the advice. It appears that most of these all in one GPS units are made in China and to try and get any support is impossible.
I have another unit running CE 6.0 and have found that the GPS software on it is a pirate copy and illegal (from power ebay seller. High 99% plus, complaint going in). I contacted the manufacturer of the GPS software and they sell it to device manufactures and they will not sell you a copy unless you buy the unit from them. Anyhow so now I have been looking at how to get GPS software to install on this one, and have not yet been able to find anything. Appears all GPS software manufactures only sell to the device manufactures.

I was told that you can install any GPS software on these devices running windows embedded ce 6.0. The problem is where to get it from and then be able to update it.
This is why there is a problem with illegal copies as the manufactures will not sell the software to you and only device manufacturers. No wonder pirate software etc.
Is going through the roof. You should be able to buy any GPS software for your device. There must be some way to do this as devices like mine do run different software. I tried the Nomad software of this other GPS and set path and it came up with 'This software is for YF, 82A1' and the window was the wrong size (Nomad is 4.3 and other is 7') Anyhow I have sent emails to some manufactures et.c to see what can be done and awaiting their replies. Igomyway who have igo8 will not help with there software, and waiting for reply from horizannav and whereis.
I also found the the Nomad is made in Poland? At least I have now learnt a lot about GPS units and the software running them etc. Learn from your mistakes. Thanks Laurie.
These types of devices are a whole different ballgame in terms of how software installs, software availability, resolution/screen size, and software licensing compared to desktop Windows. I am actually surprised you are finding that many apps for CE 6.0.
I know iGO8 has a Windows Mobile version (I am running it) but didn't think they supported CE 6.0. CE 6.0 and Windows Mobile are really not marketed as a 'consumer' OS, e.g. You can't go out and buy a copy yourself. The OS is only sold to manufacturers which tweak it to fit their hardware and software.
So it is just not that flexible. This is the only CE 6.0 forum I know about, and it is not too active, but you might get some support on the OS there.
******** Before we start, I have 3 important advises. BACKUP WHAT YOU HAVE NOW!! It's sometimes better to go back anyhow. And not unimportant, you might need some of the old data (like port, baud.) to help setup from scratch. Read this simple guide trough before doing anything at all. Read it twice, three times if you need.
Ask when you don't understand it completely. This is a guide to install the program and nothing else. When you are done, Primo should work in its basic form. Additional features, other languages. Whatever, are not part of this guide. ******** System Requirements for IGO PRIMO Obviously you need a device with an WinCE Operating System (OS).
It does not matter if the OS is CE5 or CE6 Even CE4.2 will do but we can not guarantee Primo will be fully functional, mostly hardware restrictions are the culprit. (CE4.2 will do for IGO8.3) iGO Primo CE supports devices that have 320x240, 480x 234 (very rare), 480x272 and 800x480 screen resolutions. Make sure that the Primo you download supports YOUR resolution. Not all downloads have a multires data.zip, often only a 480_272 or 800_480. If your resolution is not supported, Primo won't start.
How do you know? This information could be in the post with the upload or you could ask the uploader. Or when already downloaded, you could open (!! ) the data.zip ui_igo9 folder and see in an instant the resolution folders. Finally, your device should have at least 64MB of RAM, we recommend 128MB or more. The available memory will decide the goodies and eye candy. ******** Installation Download a version of iGO Primo.

I personally recommend 9.6.13.405512 as my experience with it is the very best. There is a fully English Primo 2. 100 Pipers Music Free Download. 4 provided by Chas521 on this forum somewhere.
Important: - Newer builds are released from time to time. In those newer Primo builds the changes to the previous versions are minimal, it are just adaptations to a specific newer device. Newer is not always better!
- Primo NextGen(eration) is a completely new development. You may try it, but be aware NextGen is not fully developed (yet) while for everything a specific license is required.
That license is limited in time, location and feature, possibly device dependent as well. All at the same time.
You probably have downloaded a rarred file, unrar it on your PC and you get an IGO folder. That folder you place on a preferably blank SD or in internal memory of your device. Now - and this is device dependable - set up the path to the Primo program. That is all!! Start up Primo and you should see the loading screen, then you do the initial set up. When that is done, tap on the picture of the map to the left of the screen. When the map is black, you only have the basemap (which is the globe, no roads) 'on board'.
Go to the map section (You are not allowed to view links. And download the map(s) and other files you want. Also read this: You are not allowed to view links. About GPS problems 'Autodetecting GPS' means you need to enter the GPS settings in sys.txt. You may find them in your backed up old program;) 'Looking for GPS signal' means Primo has found the GPS receiver., be a little patient, finding satellites needs also time. When your device locks on to the satellites and displays your current location, you are done. Now backup the Primo folder!!
