here you are my mod over "Skin iGO nextgen by pongo (LATEST) COPY" [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Because I did not like many things, because I found bugs, I added many improvements and fixes. Did it for myself, but I am happy to share all with you. The higher version of the

All credits goes to the original author. My work is based on his work. If you like, it use it 'as is'. If the original author likes my improvements, I would be happy if he take it all and integrate it into further versions, so next time I don't have to waste time doing all this. I just sharing it and explaining what I improved.

To avoid lame discussions, remember that I like my mods and will use the way I made it. I don't care whether you use/like it or not. If you don't like/use it, feel free to use the original from the original author!

For most of the changes, you will find the original files in \ux named with .orig. So you can compare the content and figure out how is made:

* classic icons in Dark theme.
* menus reordered in meaningful order, some renamed.
* reordered and added extra buttons in Main Menu, on quick header, and below. Alternative Routes, Route Info, Simulation.
* added cockpit menu buttons - Avoid Route Ahead, Alternative Routes, Avoid Tunnels. Text of Route Preferences button is flipped - above is the method, below is the vehicle.
* Traffic Summary button works, shows live traffic. The fix is into sys.txt [tmc-http]. Traffic jams are shown as blue line along the road edge.
* Google Maps button opens into WebView context inside iGO! It is not opening into separate web browser app!
* increased size on dashboard, diricons, speedlimits, current speed, turns navigation, times into footer below.
* sound conflicts with other music apps are fixed. You can listen music and iGO simultaneously! If you have iGO and mp3 player at same time, iGO sound will not mute other sound apps. After iGO makes sound for first time, other music app may mute. Then pres play button in your music app again and iGO will not block it again. Fix into sys.txt [sound] sound_effect_unmute_delay
* added few Bulgarian keyboards with many extra symbols buttons. Bulgarian QWERTY, Bulgarian PC1, Bulgarian PC2. If you need another language, you can replace the Bulgarian alphabet into keyboard.zip and put your language and keep the other extra symbols. The keyboard layout is like PC keyboard layout.

Added 36 car cursors, 43 voice languages, 127 Text To Speech languages, 26 color themes.

===========================================================================

If you have different screen resolution and everything looks too small/big you can scale iGO from these 2 parameters in sys.txt [rawdisplay]
First change dpi=.... then change base_dpi=..... until you get best look

To change the time between beep sound warnings for speedcams, schoolzones and etc. change the length of ui_nextgen\audio\!sectionbeepB.wav

===========================================================================

Download and install iGO World 9.18.27.736653 (copy the link and paste it into your browser to download! The host have some hotlink protection so if you click on the link it may block it)

Spoiler: links

download and copy the files from archive beneath into phone internal memory \iGO_World.
Put your maps in \iGO_World\content

Put your POI in .kml format into \iGO_World\content\userdata\poi\myplaces_iGO.kml.
I use GoogleEarth to make my POI, and I made small .bat file that convert GoogleEarth .kml compatible for iGO. Just name your file “myplaces.kml” and run the .bat file to produce “myplaces_iGO.kml”
(copy the link and paste it into your browser to download! The host have some hotlink protection so if you click on the link it may block it)

Spoiler: link

The POI icon must be same name as your .kml ex. \iGO_World\content\userdata\usericon\myplaces_iGO.bmp (this.bmp format is not the regular one, you need iPAQ31xTools to create iGO bmp
(copy the link and paste it into your browser to download! The host have some hotlink protection so if you click on the link it may block it)

Spoiler: link

)
You can adjust POI height visibility into \iGO_World\save\profiles\01\poi_visiblities_A.txt, poi_visiblities_B.txt

Favorites poi are located in \iGO_World\save\profiles\01\users\00\user.upoi

To prevent turnoff GPS when the phone is locked set App Info-> Battery-> Battery Optimization-> Don't optimize

If you have Android 11 and above, after you start iGO for first time it may stuck. In that case, do these steps:
1. clean iGO App Storage & Cache. From the app settings.
2. start iGO, it will stuck on loading screen
3. kill iGO
4. delete \iGO_World\*
5. copy again \iGO_World\*
6. delete all files in \iGO_World\save\preloads\* if any. They will re-generate again
7. start iGO and from this time on it will start ok. Don't delete App Storage & Cache anymore.
The reason to delete and copy again same folder \iGO_World is because after start iGO regenerate the cache again with correct paths

Download

Spoiler: link

Alternative link, 10MB split file but that’s what I can do. Use programs like Internet Download Manager to drag&drop all links inside and download in a bulk
copy the link and paste it into your browser to download! The host have some hotlink protection so if you click on the link it may block it

Spoiler: 207 links

Don't get me wrong
A large (the majority) part of the material already exists on the forum, there is no need to post your own uploads.
What's the point of such a big package upload? Just put a couple of maps inside
186 links? For what? Why couldn't it be in a couple of archives?
P.S. Your site us "insecure"

**netspider1** · 7th April 2024, 12:08 PM

I uploaded cumulative distro. Not incremental.
If incremental, only my work, would be less files, but far from convenient for regular user. I also don't find it convenient to collect dozens of files from variety of topics/links until I collect complete iGO. So after I already did it, waste my time to collect all extra pieces, it would be much easy for others to download and use directly.
If someone wants only my changes to put in his iGO, then it is easy to extract my files only. But I expect most of people gonna use it directly and decide for themself whether gonna use it or not. I am using it and I am happy to share it.
And more sources is not harm, especially the iGO version 9.18.27.736653 which now becomes difficult to find.

The "couple of maps inside" are not maps. This is Digital Elevation Model of the whole continents. This is not part of the maps. The map itself may include its own Digital Elevation Model (.dem) but this is ONLY for the specific country of that map. Without this continental Digital Elevation Model, if you zoom out of the country which map is, you won't see the relief of the rest of the continent because you dont have explicit map instaled. In other words, if you go out of the map boundary you will see everything flat green. But with this continental Digital Elevation Model at leas you can see the relief across the continent so you would know whether is mountain or valley (without having any map for that coordinates)

About my multiple links, this is ALTERNATIVE option, just in case. Unfortunately as I said above, I cant make it on bigger files due host limitation. It is 10mb, but this is very reliable host since I store old files there (posted here and other forums) for 7+ years. You don't like expired links isn't you? So it's for a reason, for sake of reliability. As I explained you can download all links in a bulk with simple drag&drop into Download Manager or similar program. And nowhere is written that is secure link since it clearly says HTTP not HTTPS. You don't expect secure SSL within HTTP don't you?

@netspider1
Thanks for the "dem" files.

But the rest.........Pongo Skin from May 2020?
First change the sys.txt
[interface]
save_checksum=0

This causes the error with the poivisiblities.txt
There are no a and b
