Do you mean the category airport in the poi or a particular airport in a city?

Just did a search for the nearest airport near Detroit, and the nearest result was 32miles away.

Great discussion so far on this. I just signed up on PPCGeeks after a few months on XDA because this is the best discussion I've found on iGO8 and US maps. This is my first attempt at using iGO (v8 final) and it appears to be working without a hitch on my Kaiser.

I can't get it to recognize any of my US maps though. I'm in NY, so I put the NY map (v 2007.07_070813) in Storage Card/iGO8/Content/map; as well as the NY poi file in the poi folder, the NY building file in the building folder, and the US dem file in the dem folder.

When I go to settings-->about, I only see the basemap. The terrain file may be working because I see some terrain in NY when I zoom out, but I'm not sure if that's part of the base map or not. Any suggestions?

well i found out from some "pros" that any US maps out are betas and not the final US maps which is why the Michigan POI are only half there which i noticed too. Only the Europe are out officially and the US ones will be out this summer as said above.

I refuse to use Garmin, its just too watered down and the maps have nowhere near the detail or options as Igo offers. Igo is still the best GPS program by far over Tomtom, Garmin, telenav etc. IMO.

What's the best way to get it to re-import contacts? Currently, my contact POI is empty but I do remember getting a bunch of errors the first time I started iGo. I'd like to try and import again to see if I can fix them (and I do add contacts from time to time.)

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.

Anyone know where to get iGo8? is it only available for purchase, or is it free?

Hello,

I'm having problems on running iGo8 on a windows ce 4.2 device. I have read that the following parameter should work:

[rawdisplay]
driver=gdi

I see the sys.txt file just posted, and the parameter is different:

[rawdisplay]
highres=0


¿What are the differences, if any, between these two configurations?

Thanks in advance,
corp

Line in on your head unit, bluetooth (A2DP), FM transmitter, etc. Lots of options, some cheaper than others.

Anyone have any problems with sound stutter?

At first I thought it was just the voice guidance. However it even happens on the button clicks in the menus. (sound will click 2 times when pressing a button once)
This only happens after the first 5 mins or so into the trip. and does not happen if I just sit there in iGo playing with buttons for 30mins. it doesn't even happen when I perform full route simulation with voice commands on.

This is a new problem for me . I had iGo8 running with zero sound stutter for about a week and a half. Then I did a hard reset, re-installed all my apps along with iGo8and on the first time running the iGo it did this stuttering and hasn't stopped .

im using the altell radio , ghettofreeryder .700 rom. im running iGo off a 8gb sandisc minisd. that still has 7gb free.

any suggestions ? any help would be greatly appreciated .
