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

[Ph33zy]

Can someone clarify this step under the TTS instruction on pg 1? I can't seem to find it and I'm not getting TTS.

Go to Settings --> Map Screen --> Check on "Street Names During Navigation"

Just do like that. Are you serious you cant see it?

It might not work unless you clean up some of your memory.

I have no luck getting the skin in #2 to work. I think the link had expired. But I google it and got the file.

I put that ZIP file in the \iGo8\Content\Skin folder

Copy the EXTENSION to the roof of iGo8

I even delete my SAVE folder and reboot

Each time it run I get this error message on screen "FFUIERROR: Unknown layer referenced Identifier=[d_AutoKartaLayer]"

Help.

Didn't see this thread before...looks like an excellent guide. I'm looking forward to trying it out when I have some extra time!

I don't see this option, but TTS works now for some reason.

I had speech working but when I actually tried the navigation in a car the speech stopped working...

I have the voice selected, when I select another voice it doesnt even play the demo voice when selected. Anyone else run into this issue?

Just a curiousity question. On installing the Skin, it says to do the Extensions folder, what does that do. I actually tried the skin with and without doing that and really don't see a difference, but just wondered what is in that folder that the skin needs, and will it not mess with other skins?

Thanks for any reply.

I don't know if this will be much help but I at least know WHY this happens. There are a few .DLL files enclosed with the TTS package in the original posting. I think these .DLL files have something to do with it. I had the same problem with my GPS (a Mio, not the HTC Touch Pro2) and replacing the .DLL files with older versions worked. So either older versions of the .DLL files will help fix your problem or if it works once in a while and then stops (like it does with me) my guess is the phone isn't "reading" the .DLL files properly for some reason (I have my HTC Touch Pro2 get TTS working fine then it will all of a sudden stop. If I go back and forth a bunch of times selecting different voices eventually it will work again, leading me to believe it's a .DLL issue.)

I just gave up on the .dll and speech thing. I thought it was a not enough memory.

Did you all notice the backlight thing doesnt save? You put it less than bright and when you exit and come back again, its super bright again.

I notice there is lag on it by at least 3 sec. Do a hard stop and watch your mph go to ZERO and count. I might use it with GPSGate.
