    Default Can't import speedcams to iGo 9 running on Subaru Forester

    Hello everyone,

    I have a weird problem with importing the speedcam file to iGo 9 running on Subaru Forester.
    iGo 9 is part of the infotainment system of the car, all maps and POI files are stored on an external microsd card. The microsd card is not protected for writing, because I can write to it well when connected to my pc.

    Here is what I've done so far:
    After I got the speedcam.txt file, I created a speedcam folder under \content\, so I have now \content\speedcam pasted the file in there, started the car, GPS fix was OK, but nothing after that. When I connect the microsd card to the PC I see that the .txt file is there, but there are no 2 other files which should be created when the speedcams are imported by iGo.

    On the other side this was pretty much everything I was supposed to do based on the web site where I got the speedcams from.
    Igo on Android devices has a special setting to enable the alerts for the speedcams, however I have many other type of warnings, but there is nothing about speedcams in the menu to enable the warnings/alerts...
    After some research I understood that I can impose some settings if I have entries in sys.txt file. Such file was not existing at all in iGo\sys.txt and I created it adding entries to the file that are supposed to manage the warnings, but unfortunately it is still not working.

    Any ideas work what further I can do to make it work?

    Thank you

    There is no such thing as "iGO 9", you mean version starting with 9.x.x.x? If that's the case, it's Primo. What is full version of proggy?

    If you don't see *.spdb file it means that your speedcam data in *.txt wasn't processed.

    If your speedcam data wasn't processed by proggy, then no settings in the world will make it worked. Fixed that problem first.

    Why title contained "PDA?"

    Are you at least sure the sd is where the program is located? Of course IGO is on it, but is it the program that is running?
    Remove the sd card from the system and start the navigation program. Does it say that the program is not found or not? And is a save folder present on sd?

    edit: and yet another important question: "on the website where I got the speedcams from". Are you sure the speedcam file is for IGO? Seems "the website" is not this forum so we cannot comment on the origin nor the reliability of the file.

    If SD card is defined as secondary root path, and it probably is, then speedcam.spdb file is created in primary location, in sub-folder content\speedcam, but such folder must exist too.
    In that primary root folder already exists original sys.txt, so writing another on SD card is useless, original must be changed.

    BTW, more info about program, complete folder structure (not only SD card) and original sys.txt is needed.

    Thanks for the input, I will answer all the questions raised in order:

    - Why PDA, it is a typo, found it after I posted the thread
    - Version of iGO 9.12.45.60
    - When I take the sd card out, navigation is not starting at all - a warning message is displayed - contact dealer bla, bla...
    - The structure of the speedcam.txt file I have is exactly the same as the one which I downloaded from this website and same story ....
    - Here is the structure of the folders found on the sd card:
    iGo
    -content
    • -global_cfg
    • -lang
    • -map
    • -phoneme
    • -poi
    • -scheme
    • -speedcam - this is the one I created and where the speedcam.txt is located
    • -voice
    • -vr
    • -vr_vde

    -copy.db

    -license
    -sys.txt - this is the one I created

    System Volume Information

    device.nng


    Content of the sys.txt (the one I created):
    Spoiler: sys
    Code:
    Please Login or Register to see the links

    I understand that I have to change the original sys.txt, but where is it?
    I was not able to find it, is it normally hidden, because I have the option to see the hidden files enabled on the Nemo explorer I am using - LinuxMint.

    The format of version "9.12.45.60" is not correct. Specifically the 60, it should be several digits not just two.
    Not all release have sys.txt (nor need it) If you have a reason to have it, just create it.
    Is the format of your *.txt file under the speedcam directory correct?
    If (for some reason) you're not looking at the location of your installation, then that's the problem. Sometime, certain NNG products (especially the one made for a specific brand) will allow you to update/use the content data on the external card while the actual proggy data is located on the internal card.
    For NextGen9.18.27.687519-Gift(26Jan2017) running on my android 4.4.2, I do NOT see speedcam.spdb when viewing from Win7, but it is there when I look at it using file explorer on the android device. I scratched my head when I see it shown valid under About->Content->Alert Points->speedcam with File: speedcam/speedcam.spdb and Size: 145 kilobytes. Then I remembered problem with viewing android files under windows, so I viewed it on android and it's was there.

    9.12.45.610686 - this is the exact version of iGo
    How can I be sure that the program is writing something to the internal memory of the unit? Isn't the fact that the navigation is not starting at all when there is no microsd card inserted enough to say that the program is installed on the sd card?
    sys.txt file I created and put on the right location is explained above and I even pasted the content of it.
    I checked About->Content->Alert Points and there is nothing mentioned about speedcams.
    As said above, I am using LinuxMint and there was never an issue of not being able to see files, which are actually there, for me this is out of question.
    I compared the file I have and the one downloaded from here and there are identical as of file structure. I even tried with the file from here and it is not loading either.

    First, that is original software. And only for Subaru, as I am informed. Judging by the version, it is WinCE based, but could be wrong. Check the extension of main file, post some (not too large) screenshot pics of card content under spoiler here.
    You need to access to internal memory of device.
    If I am right for the version of the software, do the following on the card
    - backup!!!
    - find/download application for WinCE called CE Commander (CECmd)
    - rename the main exe of software (eg navigator.exe - navigator.old)
    - put in place the total commander for wince in which you give the original name of the main application (ie CECMD.exe> navigator.exe)
    - Return the card to the device
    - When starting navigation, the TTC should now start
    - You should now see / can access the internal memory
    Be careful not to delete anything on device!!!

    I am not responsible for
    Spoiler: read
    bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about procedures! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.



    P.S. Mint is not good solution for playing with flesh memory, but this is for some other discussion...
    P.S.2. You need to have the display of hidden and system files included...


    Edit:
    Ce Commander attached, with couple of plug-ins...

    Before asking a question, know it's already discussed here and at 99.9% is not unique. Use search.

    Do you see a save directory on the external card where you stored your map? Temporarily rename it to save_ and start proggy; if it ask you for initial setup and create save directory with data inside it, you know it's writing to correct place.
    Do not PM me with questions. That's what a forum is for.

    Sorry, it took me a while to respond to your last messages guys...
    Attached is a screenshot pic of what I see under Mint with root privileges and under Windows - there are no differences, there is no navigation.exe and there is no Save directory, but when the card is out, navigation is not starting up...
    I am starting giving up...
    This is a weird version of iGo Subaru are using.
