Thread: Erisin ES1158V - WINCE 6 - Igo problem

Dear friends,

I would appreciate some help with instalation proper version of Igo on this device Erisin ES1158V - WINCE 6 (detailed specification of device is on this site [Only registered and activated users can see links. ])

1) I installed iGO8 - 3.5.193799 software on fresh formated 8gb kingston sd card FAT32. Extracted Igo on microsd card and got this folder structures: F:\Nav N Go iGO 8.3.5.193799\MobileNavigator.exe (and folders like CONTENT, LICENCE, etc.)
2) inserted sd card into GPS SLOT (there are two slots one for GPS and other sd card slot for music)
3) Tried to set NAVPATH to IGO but found out that sd card isnt recognized so I cant set NAVPATH to this .exe file which should activate IGO.
Here is picture:

4. When open folder icon above "NAVPATH" my SD card isnt detected showing nothing just symbol [...]
5. This is Info of the device

Spoiler: OPEN TO SEE

My questions:
1. what am I doing wrong?
2. Why my card isnt recognized in NAVPATH folder?
3. Is this correct version of Igo software for this device?
4. Should I format card with specific format values?

Any help would be great guys. Thanks in advance.

@BokiSrb I know this is so annoying but I want to thank you for everything you wrote on this forum and your big help in other threads too (i know like button is there but just need to write this). I also want to appologize for making technical mistakes when writing posts I promise I will never repeat same mistake when your correct it.

I will apply this instructions which I already got from our community member Rocky_Balboa earlier in pm. About software I wouldnt mind shareing anything to this community because that is at least what I can to contribute to community. But problem lays there because user already lost that originally gps card where i suppose was this software NaviSoft.exe he accidentially dropped it and never find. If I get it I will share it no problem. I will also report about this succession of this proccess.

REPORT:

Couldnt make it running:

1. renamed folder to "AWSoftWare" put it in root of SD card. Changed ".exe" file to "NaviSoft.exe" and didnt help.
2. In frustration even created folder "StorageCard" and put "AWSoftWare" in it to try that way :D (because of NAVPATH from picture in OP) still nothing.

Strange thing is when I click "folder option" to determine Nav Path, SD CARD isnt recognized. A little bit confused first time facing this problem with WINCE devices. Maybe this device is locked if someone has another idea be free to share it

@Boki_Srb

SD card 101% formated in FAT32

When I click GPS, no matter if card is in the slot or ejected, it gets me to this screen

Spoiler: NAV SCREEN

Here we can choose, among other icons, "GPS" and "SETTINGS".

1. When I choose "GPS" message pops up saying "Navigation software not found".
2. When I choose "SETTINGS" it gets me to the screen same as on "PIC 1" (your last post).
3. When I click that "FOLDER-BUTTON" as in "PIC 1" (your last post) it gets me to the same screen as in "PIC 2" where it shows "NandFlash" folder.
4. When I click "NandFlash" as in "PIC 2" to browse my ".exe" file, "NandFlash" icon become "Return button - something like circle arrow". I cannot see my folder structure of sd card.

I found some informations about chinese navigation wince devices where users encounter same problems and they solve it with creating some kind of file "maplunch.ini" which is created in NOTEPAD and should write somthing like this:

[MAP]
path=iGO8\iGO8.exe;<-- this indicates how the gps find the path to execute IGO8.exe, change to your needs (program)
bmpiconpath = iGO8\ui_igo8\800_480\loading_1.bmp;<-- this indicates to load loading picture at the beginning of startup of the gps and the resolution is 800*480, if not, change to the proper numbers, note that IGO8 uses "ui_igo8", not "ui_igo9" which is for PRIMO

When i try to find "maplunch.ini" in my IGO folder couldnt find this file. I dont know where to put this file when I create it? Also I could find UI_igo8" folder in my I go installation folder.

If device has an option to manually set GPS path from "Navigation software path" option, than there is absolutely no need for ini files, I'm 100% about that. I think you may have an hardware issue and the SD cards cannot be detected by the system. Maybe there is a broken SD slot or the pins inside. I believe that you also tried with different SD cards (2 GB 4 Gb, 8 GB or 16 GB)? In some vintage wince systems there was also a problem reading SD HC standard SD cards. I had an old iGO8 running device which didn't accepted HC standard SD cards. Instead, it only worked with very old 2GB SD (none HC) card which is "unfortunately" very hard to find these days.

Thanks Janch for info will try with older SD cards have couple 2gb. Will report about progress. In the end maybe there is problem with card slot. I was also thinking to buy MINI USB cable to connect usb from it just to check will it read from USB :-/
