Thanks to everybody for their suggestions. I have been away for a few days but have been able to try some things and can answer some of your questions
Maps are ok, I copied them onto another older phone and there Primo works fine
I downloaded the HERE app to try, it is also slow to calculate speeed so maybe a bad GPS receiver?
I have now tried 483387, 468978, 431282, 331894 and 281004. Every time I cleaned the phone accordimg to Brown Dog's instructions. Also looked for and deleted any old extra files and folders every time.
I have tried on internal memory and external SDcard always with the same result.
Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, not rooted
The display position can be 200 0r 300 metres behind at 100 km/hr but is OK at slow speed in towns and villages
Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, not rooted
Phone was factory reset 2 or 3 weeks ago before first installing Primo
Do you know of a software I could use to check for electronic problems?
when I test different Primo versions I use only the map for my country
Mr Boki_Srb, I think your idea to try a different programme was a good one; Trying the HERE app has shown me the problem is with my phone and not with Primo. If you know of a program I can use to check the phone for problems please let me know.
Thank-you again to all who have contributed to this thread.

Hi k1w1_123,
At first I was pretty sure it is not problem with iGO.
iGO is much better then many other navigation software while it is predicting your real position based on last measured position and speed.
So when moving You can see dot where it got last info and your vehicle moving ahead, with another words - simulating real position, and is quite good in that even when GPS signal is lost (tunnels).
I have friend pretty good in phone electronics, and what a bad luck, he had same problem like You with his phone.
After some experiments and searching www, he found that GPS antenna in his phone is bad, not broken but bad construction.
Hi tried many modification with small improvements, but it was never good as it should be.
If there is problem with GPS module or with antenna (and probably is), I'm afraid there in not much You can do.
Take it to nearest repair center to see if they could help.
Good luck.

I think my problem is solved!
After everybody's help narrowing my problems down to the phone and not the software, I looked on some Android forums and found these ideas to speed up Android, particularly for the S3
1) Boot to recovery mode and clear the cache
2) Go to settings-> developer options-> turn off window, transition and animator scale
After making these changes Primo is working much better. Speed calculation is faster and more accurate, and the map display position is good up to 100 km/hr
Thanks again to everybody who contributed to this solution
It is latest official rom on it? The fastest is, btw, 4.1.2. Try also, under animation scale, set it to 0.5x. Sometimes helps.
Anyway, very strange behavior for such a good phone and an official firmware. I would recommend full wipe and reset, of course, if that's not a problem, and if you saved all the necessary data from phone. And as final solution, reflash rom.
Yet, before any drastic methods, , first try experimenting with values for animation scale. If you are satisfied with the current situation, then do not touch anything.

Hello, I have a problem with iGo, while using navigation or just looking at map in 3D mode it doesnt display streets properly, I mark it only happens in 3D mode. It only display a half of the screen with all streets on the map (You can see it on a screenshots a white streets). Maybe somebody know a issue and can help me solve this problem. Thanks you and waiting for help.

@Palzer
If You would provide more info like program version, skin, and if it was posted in thread I just moved this posts to (which was BTW at the top), there would better chance that someone could help.

Problem solved. The solution was to add new data.zip.
