Neil5459 : I will try and report

[The Real Mc Coy]

Ok : if you remove the [device] section from your sys.txt it fails to detect GPS (plus there is a graphical issue)

By trmc at 2009-09-01

So my guess was good

Well I'm glad it's working, but I can't see which entry in sys.txt might be doing it

Hi there, I just copied this two line:

[device]

and igo recognized the GPS.
My igo is "13 August version" and my SYS.txt is:

At the end, only the entry

[device]
type="SGH-i900"


must be added. By the way , no one has commented that SGH-i900 is the Samsung OMNIA!! Any hidden relationship Samsung-Toshiba ??

Warning, I've had crashes if I forget to turn off GPSGate!!

Confirmed , it works, but only on Igo8, we need GPS gate for other apps with GPS use. But for people only using Igo8, congratulations!

I or Neil said that I think...
I don't think that there is any "hidden relationship"... Just that the Omnia had the same problem and iGO devs solved it

In the next version I would not be surprised if there is a "TG-01" parameter added

BTW I tried to post this on your spanish forum but I never succeded in posting

Thats right- it doesn't signify anything except that the [Device] parameter points to a set of hardware specs for specified devices within the data.zip file; the Omnia has a similar GPS setup to the TG01. I'm sure someone will add an entry to data.zip so the TG01 is recognised natively.

[The Real Mc Coy]

I did not know that this is contained in data.zip... I will look at that

Don't worry, I'll do it (quoting the origin, of course, as I always like to do...)

Howx did you use the TMC ? bluetooth Radio receiver ?

EDIT...
sorry after better reading, don't use TMC feature because ";"

[teodan]

Can you tell me what version of IGO works on tg01, pls?
Thank you!!!

[The Real Mc Coy]

I use 8.3.4.102680 and tested 8.3.2.93112... In fact any 8.3.x.x should work but I always use the latest available !

By the way :

I tested a way to bypass this with LeSScro

I uploaded a data.zip based on latest version available (10b) : http://www.steekr.co...74aa0243190c00/

With this data.zip the TG01 is AUTOMATICALLY detected without modifying anything in the SYS.TXT

Thanks to LeSScro for his efficient and quick tests

Let me know if it works...

[LeSScro]

This method works great without problem...
GPSgateCe is dead... no need to use this now...

Thx The real Mc Coy....

GPSgateCe is dead? Not at all.

As well as Igo8,  there are a lot of APPs that use internal GPS.... I'm going to keep using GPSgate, but, as said, its a great solution for people using only IGO8!!!

[The Real Mc Coy]

AFAIK, now only TomTom requires GPSGate... Do you have any other exemple of software needing GPSGate ?

[Neil5459]

Good work Mc Coy and leSScro

Now using the new Data.zip and I think the display is better as well, as it is set for true high resolution!

Should I copy all content from data.zip to my device?

CompeGPS, bing, Google Navigator, Wififofum, GPS2clipboard.....

No just replace your data.zip by the one I provided.

xdalover : Google Navigator, if I recall well, works on my TG01 without GPSGate... I uninstalled it because graphically it's bad and the instructions are bad too I will re-test... I did not try bing or Wififofum (but I will)...

I think wififofum will work without gpsgate if you use these settings...

GPS: GPD9
Baud Rate: 4800

[TheBeO]

I know I'm not in the correct section, but thanks  

why ? because I just installed iGO on my new HD2, and GPS wasn't working ... I added

[device]
type="SGH-i900"

and voila!!!! it works now
