OK... I got igo8 to work. (see very bottom for the short story)

Long Story:
1) I removed my sd card from the phone (SD Card has igo8 folders on it).
2) I then did a hard reset as to erase any trace of igo8 from the phone (not a big deal since I just upgraded to new Bell ROM anyhow and haven't fully customized yet)
3) I installed the AstroGPS primer and then placed the accompaning igo8 launcher file in: Device/Windows/Startup Menu/Programs
4) I then reinserted the SD card and let igo8 install itself automatically on the phone. Once installed, igo8 will attempt to boot up... it will either boot up successfully or it will stall when it shows the word "Starting".
5) Close igo8 any way you can. (I pressed the power button off and on repeatedly to get a different window to show until eventually i got igo8 closed. You could also soft restart the phone)
5) From now on, launch igo8 by clicking on the "igo8 launcher" icon and not the igo8 application icon
This should work.

Short Story:
I have experimented several times with different methods and have since come to realize that all you really need to do is to launch igo8 from the igo8Launcher (primer) file instead of the igo8 application itself.
