There is a very useful forum on Ebuyer debating the issue.

Changing the 0 to 1 didn't work. Yes, you read and understood my posts correctly. I'm not getting any errors, I just can't start the new iGO8 software because I'm not presented with the shortcut icon 'GPS', which was the only way I could select the older version of iGO8. 'Navigate' will only boot up the MyGuide software. 'GPS' used to give me the choice of 'iGO8' and 'MyGuide' shortcuts once pressed. I'm thinking I actually need to change something on the actual SatNav. On the SatNav's internal Flash Disk there is a file called IGOPATH.TXT which contains this.

No probs with the help If the Flash Disk is set to read only none of the changes you make to anything on that Flash Disk will be saved, so it could be the cause. Ortho flex saddle serial number. Do you get to see if it's read only when viewing it via the PC & you right click Properties on it? When editing or changing anything on a WinCE GPS device I've found it pays to copy whatever I'm changing to the PC, do the changing/editing on the PC itself, then replace the one on the device with the edited one by deleting it from it's location on the device then pasting the edited one in it's place. Same goes for anything running from a Storage Card, edit on PC then replace it on the card.

One more thing I can see to try would be changing in IGOPATH.TXT under modules the line.
Update I believe says there should be a shell.ini that says ResidentFlash MobileNavigator MobileNavigator.exe in the Computer WindowsCE ResidentFlash folder though if it's there I cant see it I have hidden and system files to visible though it may be to do with having to access it via windows mobile CE if it was there it would just be a matter of changing it to SDMMC Primo2 Primo2.exe (where I have copied Primo2 to ) help!

Nope just found and tried this When you click on the shortcut to your GPS program by default, runs the file at SDMMC MobileNavigator MobileNavigator.exe WinCE is not case sensitive. If you put a shell.ini file at the root of SDMMC with a pointer to another executable, this will take precedence. It allowed me to create a shell.ini under ResidentFlash so there is definitely not one there, however it still did not work offline Joined: Wed Apr 23, 2014 8:02 am Posts: 6 Has thanked: 0 time Been thanked: 0 time.

Cheers Just connect the unit to your pc (needs active sync installed). Browse the unit (explore). Go to: Flash Disk MyGuide POI SPEEDCAM And drop the text files in there. Hope this helps.

Following on from this, I've recently been given one of these and the mapping seems to be about 3 years old (based on the fact that my son's 2½ year old house isn't included though it is on the discontinued Garmin i3 unit) - anyone know if there's an upgrade available for the mapping and will any iGO update be fully compatible with the MyGuide 3100?

Anyone know where to get new maps from? The Myguide website is rubbish and support is non-existent! I had a problem 2 weeks ago connecting the unit to a PC and emailed them for an answer. I sent 4 emails and have had no response!!
I subsequently found out that you need ActiveSync 4.5 installed to get access to the SD Card. Please, someone help with the maps:o) doughy Occasional Visitor Joined: Jul 29, 2007 Posts: 19 Posted: Tue Aug 07, 2007 8:38 pm Post subject: Im still looking out for maps but i have managed to make my Myguide 3100 into a movie player, i edited the addon txt on the sdcard and i now have a button called explorer and Multimedia on the first screen.
I got the multimedia application from a myguide 3000 pna update and then reflashed it back with the cd my gps came with. After that the applications were still there.

Hi, I was hoping not to resort to this, but I've spent all evening trying and failed. Call of duty world at war cheats. I have an old MyGuide 3100 Sat Nav, but 5 years ago installed igo8 and UK map and it runs fine, but my map is very outdated now.
I never use the actual MyGuide software it's not great. Can I install a recent UK map that runs on igo8 or do I need to upgrade to igo8.3 or primo? MyGuide 3100 Windows CE Core 5.0 Nav N Go IGO 8 8.0.041506 (June 3 2008) screenx=320 screeny=240 Any help really appreciated as I drive for a living and moving area soon! If any more details are need in order to assist, sorry for omitting them and I'll add any info I possibly can. Looks like a friendly, helpful forum, I live in hope!:). From this newly created SD card (Family Picnic + UK map) there are two icons on first boot Navigation & Settings. The Navigation icon only takes me straight into the old 'MyGuide' software.
The old SD card with the version of iGO8 I was using also had a shortcut icon on first boot of satnav which said GPS, as well as Navigation and Settings, from GPS I could choose either iGO8 or MyGuide. I know that an icon only works as a pictorial shortcut for executing the software it represents, so I presume I somehow need to create or find an icon and ensure that when touched the iGO8 software is booted. Are the names and paths exactly the same as previously on the device and in that addons.txt file? If one character is wrong it probably won't work, and quite possibly when using a file like addons.txt to run the shell they might be case sensitive too, so the upper/lower case might have to match in the path & executable's entries.
To use the launch etc. Buttons that were on it before it should be just a matter of renaming the new software's.exe file exactly as the old was and putting it in the same location the old.exe was, as mentioned by Fatboyfun above. The names don't always have to match the original and you can change them yourself but you must make sure that the names and path match exactly what's in the addons.txt or it won't work. I use a custom shell I ripped from an old Chinese GPS & it uses similar file named main.ini to run things from. In that file there's the name & screen positions of each icon displayed and also the path to the exe for running them when the icon is tapped. Looks very similar to the one your device has. Here's my iGO8 entry for that shell.
Thanks for your replies, I have been trying to sort this but still failing. The files and paths are named the same, but I can't get the GPS button to come up on the screen no matter what. I tried; in front of MyGuide but that didn't work. If I plug the sat nav into my PC via USB and browse the device via WindowsCE, the devices storage appears to be split into four parts. The Windows section contains a file called iGOstart.exe, then on the FlashDisk segment there are two files called igolaunch.exe and IGOPATH.TXT IGOPATH.TXT looks like this. Hello JaiBo, Ok, remove that entry I asked you to try then, just in case it causes a conflict with something in the future. The best other option for software would be iGO Primo, find that by looking in the Primo section of these forums.
I should mention though that if your device being a little older has only 64 MB of memory you might have a few problems getting it to run without getting memory errors all the time. As far as I understand things, all softwares start the same way, which by the issues you describe means you'll possibly have the same issue no matter what the software as the problem seems to be getting the shortcut it starts from correct. In post number 6 you mentioned you previously used a shortcut that appeared once you started the device, but now it no longer appears, is that correct? If yes, try changing the 0 to 1 in the addons.txt file, on the line. modules GPS = 'icons/files.bmp', ', 0 & see if that old shortcut appears then.
In these types of files 0 usually means whatever it refers to is disabled and 1 means it's enabled. If it makes no difference I guess you should probably change it back to 0 again.
Also in post number 6 you said 'The Navigation icon only takes me straight into the old 'MyGuide' software.' If I read that correct does that mean when you hit the Navigation icon the old MyGuide software actually starts up? Or does it just take you to where the MyGuide software is located by means of a file explorer?
Why I ask that is if the MyGiude software actually starts when you hit that Navagation icon then simply replacing the Myguide software with iGO8 (folder structure and names exactly the same) might be how to get it running.
