How to get iGo8 run on TP2 with TTS enable and 2009 NA Maps (step by step guide) - Page 48

Just got TTS working on NRGZ 1/14 21885 ROM. Took a while but it eventually worked somehow. From what I see, I think you need all the files in place before you install the program for it to work.

I assume with this update I can probably run SPB mobile shell? SPB shell is starting to look really good with the Sense UI theme and would give up HTC sense as long as TTC works. I will try it and post back result. Hopefully SPB doesn't use the same tmail resource.

EDIT: It looks like SPB mobile shell also do not allow TTS to work. Got too hopeful but I'm happy with the original work around so I'll stick to it.

I've got TTS running fine on MightyROM with HD2 manilla (12.30.09). Though today I had a horrible experience using this app. I almost missed very important appointment because of misbehaviour of this app. I was on freeway and had to take exit 13, though it was showing me that I had to travel additional 2.5 miles. I took nearest exit and got stuck in the traffic (school busses). The good news is that I had google maps as a backup and I disabled iGo8 I used some backroads with google maps help to get to destination. I can not wait until google maps releases the full version GPS software with TTS. From now on I won't rely on iGo8 for any important driving. I am not trying to discourage anyone from using iGo8, but having a backup navigation app/printed directions is a good thing.

+1. There are some POI I can't locate with Igo8 which I turn to Google maps for.

Usually I find that Garmin Mobile XT gives better routing compared with iGO, although Garmin Mobile XT does not have TTS yet. Anyone tried Sprint Navigation? Not sure if that's good. I doubt Google will release a navigation product for Windows Mobile since Android and WIndows Mobile are competitors.

Not sure if this has been brought up yet or not, but have we compared registry keys in the iGO8 folder from working and non working roms?

TTS is on and off for me with Mighty's 1-20 ROM

The link English US - Susan & Dave (TTS) in Post #1 is not working. Anybody know where I can download it now?

You guys might be instrested in a similar script I wrote for iGuidance

I think it shuts things down more smoothly which will free resources needed for TTS.

It would only take a few tweaks to make it iGo compatible again.
