i also use iGo 8 and I think i may have found a fix.. before launching igo, first run google maps and wait for it to find your gps.. then leave google maps running and open igo 8.. this doesn't take hardly any more battery power, and I haven't had my gps cut out yet.. i beleive you can also close google maps after you have started igo 8, but i'm not sure, so give it a try..i haven't done it in awhile.. let me know if it works!
