Yes, I do. That's the strange thing about it. I've had this earlier with a PNA based Gps-system and than I had the illegal version. Now I have the original SD-Card and it doesn't work. Also I've tried to copy the content within the SD card to the internal storage of the Samsung I900, but that still hasn't effect.

Are you installing it via the 2577 folder on the SD card? If it doesn't autorun, open the 2577 folder and tap 'Autorun'; this ought to configure the installation for the correct Storage Card label.

If not, you will need to edit the sys.txt file to show the correct label, if Samsung use something non-standard

What must be in the sys.txt than?

Mine has:

[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"

[interface]
maxzoom2d=6000000
show_exit=1

This is for a standard WM Pro device with a mini/micro SD card slot. If your SD Card slot is called something else (look in File Explorer for its name) the 'app=' line needs changing to reflect it.

There are copies of sys.txt in the Program Files/iGO8 folder in main memory and on the SD card. Copy both before making any changes, then change both.

I changed my sys.txt file to app="My Storage/iGO8" and it works.

Than when you start it make sure you have the phone in landscape.

It seems that your DATA.zip file does not have the correct screen resolution in it that relates to the Omnia.

Unzip the file and see if there is a folder 400_240 and 240_400, if there isn't then you need a different data.zip file.

My sys.txt file looks like this:

[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"

[interface]
skin="ui_igo8"
resolution_dir="400_240"
maxzoom2d=6000000
show_exit=1
vga=0

[rawdisplay]
screen_x=400
screen_y=240
class="landscape"

[map]
3d_max_tiltlevel=9000

[poi]
enable_pois_before_080217=1

[debug]
skip_eula=1
smart_2d=1
enable_roadshadow=1

[msnd]
msnd.start=0

As you can see, the app looks for the 400_240 folder within ui_igo8 (within data.zip) - All working for about 2 months now, beats TT7 hands down (just wish i could put some 'comical' voices into iGO8 (or find out how to convert TT7 voices??)
