Re: Anyone using iGO 8

Then, while using iGO8 it would drop satellites and says "gps lost" and normally it would reconnect in a couple secs but not always.

The program is really nice but after dropping satellites (tomtom *never* had) and the extra time to find a signal to begin with plus resetting my clock... I had to restore a backup before the installation. Everything seems back to normal now for me.

Thats too bad because it seemed much nicer than tomtom.
There is a fix for the tiemzone change on the igo site, you have to do something to the sys.txt.

Try the link that dumb4ever has in his post, it's much better than the way I was doing it as it seemed to solve my incoming call problems. This will prime your gps and also allow you to lock on satellites faster. I use it with tomtom and now with garmin.
