Re: How to get iGo8 run on TP2 with TTS enable and 2009 NA Maps (step by step guide)

I have just had occasion to test iGO8 in a situation where I needed a GPS. As a test I used it along side my stand alone Garmin 265w. I was very impressed. The Garmin lagged by a second or two behind the iGO8. iGO's routing, directions, etc. were all as good or better than the Garmin's.

If 2 things could be fixed iGO8 would be perfect:
1) I need to shut down Manilla and reboot to get TTS to work (6.5 custom Rom with Sense 2.1 creating from Calkulin's Kitchen -- very basic, lots of free memory). When I used Sprint's stock Rom I had iGO8 TTS working even with Manilla running, but haven't with any 6.5 Rom I've tried.
2) If it would read and import the contacts; I've never found a way for this to work on the TP2.
