iGo Primo has been released!

wottenad · January 28, 2012

Hey....

This question may be for Walt...or anyone that knows

Did Advent change the OGM 1 in any way to accept the IGO primo??

Will this new nav software work flawlessly on any OGM 1??

Tony

When we get the official word on how to acquire iGo Primo, I will definitely post it here.

If your main complaint is the navi, it will transform your unit!

I got a friend that owns a radio/navi shop here to get it for me.

My unit was bought 12/2011

Question for iGO Primo Users: At initial start up, what screen mode (day or night) is your map at? Mine is always in Nighttime mode no matter what time of day. The program is supposed to go by the time of day as provided by the GPS signal and adjust the color mode accordingly, yet no matter what setting I choose prior to shutting the unit down, it always starts back up in nighttime mode(very annoying)! Also has anyone checked the GPS status screen? 90% of the time mine shows no satellites, yet shows accuracy high This may account for the altitude indicator not working correctly as well. My GPS antenna is placed in the dash where the factory antenna would be.

I have used iGO Primo on my Phone and never seen these issues.

Mine is the same. I was just messing with it. Always reverts to night. I can go to settings and hit day colors and it goes to day until I turn it off.

I seem to have fixed the lag issue. With the sd card out it was great. I ejected the sd card and reinserted it and all seems to be fine. Station up, volume up down, and source control aren't laggy any more. The iPod art seems to come up 95% with nav off 100% with nav on. The night issue is not cool. And how can I get all the blue poi icons to show what they really are. The only ones that work are some quick trips, all bp's, a couple of murphys and one hardees.

I noticed this as well. The only way I could figure out what they are is to touch and hold then hit the selection to navigate to.

I noticed the same thing too, so I did a litle digging and found that almost all the parameters that control startup behavior, colors, defaults, etc. are just lines of text in a normal text file.

I'm out of town right now and don't have access to the files, but when I get back tomorrow, I'll fill you in on how to modify some of this stuff.

And it goes without saying:

If you attempt to modify ANYTHING on your map SD card, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

BACK IT UP BEFORE YOU EVEN LOOK AT IT!

I CAN'T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MISTAKES!!!

I wouldnt go modifing files! My unit does not do this. I would start by making sure that your light sensor is working correctly in the dash. Ill go thru my settings to see if something is different or ? my unit switches as it should. Ill report back tonight. Quick queshtion do all of you with issues have tinted windows? I know when I tinted mine that my lights would click on alot sooner than normal.

NCSierra · January 30, 2012

I have noticed that my OGM1 stays on the dim setting most of the time, and I made the assumption that it was because of my tinted windows. Have not yet updated to iGo Primo...

redjewel2ss · January 30, 2012

it may also depend on the weather outside. i have absolutely no problems with mine dimming. the only time during the day its in night mode is when i'm under an overpass or in my parking garage at work. tinted windows and all (not the windshield though)
