IGO8 out of memory problem

On some devices an out of memory message can occur, especially on older or device with a small internal memory.

This can be solved with following sys.txt

[project] name="igo8_pda"

[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/IGO8"

[interface]
maxzoom2d=6000000
show_exit=1
popup_info=1
poi_show_all_btn=1

[screen]
menu_animation=0

[debug]
show_oneway_3d=1
show_oneway=1
show_gps_pos=1
skip_eula=1
show_pedestrian=1
poi_labels=1
show_arrows_on_route=1
tts_min_ready_wav=1
tts_getaway_time=200
tts_expected_engine_delay=1400
sound_q_length="200"
no_file_cache="0"

enable_roadshadow=1
reserve_memory=1500000

[map]
popup_info=1
show_labels=1
3d_max_tiltlevel=9000

[msnd]
msnd.start=0

[tts]
tts_buffer=131072

priority="HIGH"
always_say_road_names=1
announce_street_name=1
announce_exit_directions=1
skip_exit_numbers=0

[sound]
queue_length=200

Put the sys.txt file in the root of the IGO map.
Above sys.txt was tested on a HP ipaq with 64 mb memory

Mio with digital TV

With the Mio Moov V series you can watch TV, of course only when you are waiting in a traffic jam ;)

See this link for more information:

Please respond on this article if you have experience with one of these devices.

POI visibility II

You can also set the distance from the standard 100m to another value by changing some values in the file called default.vis, which is located in configdefault.vis in your data.zip.

You will have to change the following data:

; ------------------------ POI ----------------------------
; poi=, "","", ,"",
; font colors and icon names are listed in mapvisual.ini

;[Label0m-500m]
[Label0m-1000m]
;area=0,1,2,3
area = 0,1,2,3,4,5,6

; parse settlements to show the name of the closest
;poi="Settlement.*", "", "", 0, "", 0
;poi="Services.*", "", "label_poi", 9,"poi",-1,"poi2",-1
;poi="Transportation.*", "", "label_poi", 9,"poi",-1,"poi2",-1
;poi="Shopping.*", "","label_poi", 9,"poi",-1,"poi2",-1
;poi="Entertainment.*", "", "label_poi", 11,"poi",-1,"poi2",-1
;poi="Culture.*","", "label_poi", 11,"poi",-1,"poi2",-1
;poi="Sports_Recreation.*", "", "label_poi", 11,"poi",-1,"poi2",-1
;poi="Emergency_Government.*", "", "label_poi", 11, "poi", -1,"poi2",-1
;poi="Food_Drink.*", "", "label_poi", 11, "poi", -1,"poi2",-1
;poi="Lodging.*", "", "label_poi", 11, "poi", -1,"poi2",-1
;poi="Artificial_Landmark.*", "", "label_poi", 11, "poi", -1,"poi2",-1
;poi="Natural_Landmark.*", "", "label_poi", 11, "poi", -1,"poi2",-1
;poi="Water_landmark.*", "", "label_poi", 11, "poi", -1,"poi2",-1

poi="Settlement.*", "", "", 0, "", 0
poi="Services.*", "", "label_poi", 9,"poi2",-1
poi="Transportation.*", "", "label_poi", 9,"poi2",-1
poi="Shopping.*", "","label_poi", 9,"poi2",-1
poi="Entertainment.*", "", "label_poi", 11,"poi2",-1
poi="Culture.*","", "label_poi", 11,"poi2",-1
poi="Sports_Recreation.*", "", "label_poi", 11,"poi2",-1
poi="Emergency_Government.*", "", "label_poi", 11,"poi2",-1
poi="Food_Drink.*", "", "label_poi", 11,"poi2",-1
poi="Lodging.*", "", "label_poi", 11,"poi2",-1
poi="Artificial_Landmark.*", "", "label_poi", 11,"poi2",-1
poi="Natural_Landmark.*", "", "label_poi", 11,"poi2",-1
poi="Water_landmark.*", "", "label_poi", 11,"poi2",-1


Put a semi-colon (;) in front of the red lines or delete these lines and replace them with the blue lines. By changing the label to [Label0m-1000m] all POIs will become visible from a distance of 1000 meters.
