Did anyone figure this out? I'm using the touch. Everything appears to be working, including TTS but I can't get it to import my contacts.

Ok guys, I actually like Igo8, but I cannot seem to make a HTC Quick Launch item for Igo8. Is there a solution since it doesn't show up under the programs list? The only way I can get it to run is to open it via explorer.

Under the Programs list, do you see Nav N Go iGO shortcut? If not , since you need to prime iGO8 anyway, one can use Astrolauncher to prime, then start iGO8 with one button. See post 19 and 145.

No. What kind of problem are you having?

The program will automatically limit the available keys to match possible locations within the map(s) you have loaded. If that is the issue, then you just need to load the appropriate map for the location you're trying to find.

I don't see it in the program list, but I don't have to prime Igo8 at all. it starts up fast and has a lock within 20 seconds cold. Thanks for the reply though.

BTW, thank you again for the EnglishUs6.9.lex file. I have been able to modify it further to solve some annoying pronunciation errors. For example, Susan would say "four hundred five" for the 405 freeway instead of 4, 0, 5. I was able to changed the lex file to change the pronunciation of most of the freeways numbered above 100.

"405" = "four oh five"

If anyone is annoyed that the street name is not spoken whenever it is associated with a number, one can modify the lex file to change the number to a more familiar name.
For example:

Lakewood Blvd (19) TTS would says ---> "19" but changing the lex file to:

"19" = "Lakewood Boulevard", TTS will now say Lakewood Boulevard rather than the highway number.

One needs to be careful though. In California, Hwy 1 is the Pacific Coast Highway and when I put the following in the lex file:

"1" = "Pacific Coast Highway", it would work fine when I was on PCH but if any term with "1" needed to be spoken, such as turn right in "1" mile, it would say turn right in "Pacific Coast Highway" mile. LOL.

Great thread i have answer a lot of questions i had
However has anyone had any luck with this??

adamigo,

If you can describe the problem you are encountering, maybe I can walk you thru it to get it working for you.
