For those having trouble with US maps or TTS

When I first started playing with iGo8, I also could not get maps to show up or TTS to work.

I found that the key to this is all about using the correct versions.

Now we can't post warez links here, but what you're looking for is "iGo 8 Final with EnglishUS TTS for PDA". It can be found in post #5 in the thread "iGO8 v8.0.0.31442 + v8.0.0.35389 (Final) for PDA". This is version v8.0.0.31442 and tts works without having to add anything to it.

As for the maps, after you install the above referenced version of iGo, the same site has a thread named "iGo8 - maps" and the files contained therein are compatible with this version and show up without having to do anything special.

I had been a TomTom user for several years. Having paid for the last several versions, I was frustrated with how outdated the maps were, and their lack of support. Not that I've tried iGo, I am sold! The maps are much newer (although the POIs are still short), and the interface is much nicer. I will definitely be buying a copy once it is released for the US...
