I'm starting to wonder if this thing isn't ready for prime time yet. I'm sure Walt will get it figured out. I know I will feel a whole lot more comfortable downloading this after Walt has had time to play with it.

I agree.....and in all honesty, other than the clock location and a couple of other very minor things, I'm not at all unhappy with the current Navmate software.

What's the status? Did you get the NAV system to load successfully?

 

 

I did, and I even made a cool boot screen for the iGo map and added a few dozen 3D cars as well! Working on adding the red light cameras today...

 

The entire problem was an issue with the firmware loaded into the unit that I was using to test. For some unknown reason, though it was a 10-28-11 firmware (which is the first version that would allow you to change), it was acting like it didn't have the components in place to allow it to use the iGo mapping.

 

After two different SD cards and one download, it became obvious that there was something else going on. I could have just grabbed another radio (which I eventually did and it worked PERFECTLY), but it wouldn't have done me any good to just move on until I figured this one out.

 

So I downloaded and installed a new copy of the firmware and it worked like a champ on the next try! I've been corresponding with my friends at Advent and they assure me that the iGo platform is 100% compatible and bulletproof on this version of firmware (and of course it will be on future firmwares as well), so my hesitation regarding moving foward with retrofitting was a little parnoid on my end, I guess.

 

I will shoot and post a short video showing the installation process later today and I'll be adding another post listing some iGo resources on the web. There's a TON of stuff out there that lets you customize this system relatively easily if you decide to use it.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll wait until you're satisfied that the software is robust enough for mass consumption before doing anything. I am anxious though!
