Put the zipped skin (do not unzip) in the \iGO8\Content\Skin folder then start iGO8, Settings, Menu and click on Skin option, select the new skin then iGO8 will restart using the new skin.

Thanks Hideffer,
I downloaded the skin 3 times before I got a good copy. Works great..........Now for a harder question. When I make a personal POI across a border, I can not see it from my home position. The crurser has to be in that state or province to see the POI. I can see all if I make a route and ask to see all POIs along the route. But I want to see them all the time. Is there a setting I can change??

Thanks

When I first started playing with iGo8, I also could not get maps to show up or TTS to work.

I found that the key to this is all about using the correct versions.

Now we can't post warez links here, but what you're looking for is "iGo 8 Final with EnglishUS TTS for PDA". It can be found in post #5 in the thread "iGO8 v8.0.0.31442 + v8.0.0.35389 (Final) for PDA". This is version v8.0.0.31442 and tts works without having to add anything to it.

As for the maps, after you install the above referenced version of iGo, the same site has a thread named "iGo8 - maps" and the files contained therein are compatible with this version and show up without having to do anything special.

I had been a TomTom user for several years. Having paid for the last several versions, I was frustrated with how outdated the maps were, and their lack of support. Not that I've tried iGo, I am sold! The maps are much newer (although the POIs are still short), and the interface is much nicer. I will definitely be buying a copy once it is released for the US...

Dew.Man I have followed your words of wisdom however I can't seem to install it. It gives me the following error when I hit the autorun in the \Storage Card\2577\ map It asks me :' do you want to install nav n go 8?' I hit yes and then it stated the following:'
Can't copy:\Storage Card\iGO8\application.dat

anybody?
