Re: Anyone using iGO 8

After finding this site and xda and all the massive ammounts of incredible info....
Ispent about 2 weeks reading and adjusting and flashing etc.
my vogue is runningthe NFSFANS 104 rom and I have try'd and cry'd while hunting for ANYreally good apps Freeware etc...

I found Terracrosser..it works but the maps are HUGE files and dont look very nice on the screen... I'd love to try TomTom but havn't been able to "FIND" it yet.
Same with iGO.... that said and all burned out I tried my streets and trips...cant find a new enough version for reading my 2008 files!
GRRRRRR!!!.......

I just found my old Delorme Street atlas USA 2008 software disk.
pop'd it in the computer and voila!!!... SUUUUPER HAPPPY!!! AND legal!!

Works NICE!,
(better than on PC!..Hated the PC version confusing..Streets and trips is my favrit)
looks good,
TTS works...although i'd lke it to say turn left at next intersection...instead of "go north".. I know north so its not a problem...but if yer lost yer lost...lol.

& I do not need gps viewer running in the background!
probably better to not ve anything running in the background.

my phone's not even activated...so NO data plan, no phone plan..NO PHONE#!!!

to create a map for export:
I can pick squares from a grid overlayed on the map (and skip the hoboken towns!) and basically trace the main highways and towns I want.

when cold the gps lock takes about 3 minutes.
after that a re-lock is about 1 minute.
now all i gotta do is figure out how to adjust the powersave option settings in the phone.
cause if your not moving the power save can kick in and you need ta re-lock....
what a pain when stopping for gas and food etc!
