Thread: Older iGo Primo for Navigon 21MAX needed

I'd like to go into a lot of detail, but I won't, because unfortunately I know very little English, so almost everything is translated with the translator "DeepL".

If this post (message) is worth anything to you, base yourself on this [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], a simple summarised answer, but the best in the whole thread.

As for iGO8, we're talking about software that's more than 10 years old and you don't need any version of iGo 8 with the lorry options enabled, iGO8 supports FTR, for example you can read this [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. It's supposedly not as complete as Primo, but it fulfils the main functions Truck.What sometimes enriches this type of Truck navigation in iGO8 are the KMLs (made by the user) but the icons for the KMLs in iGO8 are a pain, with small modifications in data.zip, it is possible for the KML icons to appear with size restrictions of 32px (correct me if I'm wrong), I remember some Skin that already contain this function, there are users with much more information than me here on the forum about the icons for KMLs in iGO8.

No, it's not about the 64 MB of RAM, in fact it's enough to run an iGO Primo up to versions 2.0/2.0.1, but if you're interested, read on.

It's not that simple...
Without going into detail, the most difficult GPSs to unlock that have passed through my hands are the Sony NV-U, Navigon GPS and Pioneer, specifically the Avic F700BT model. Although there is a lot of content on the internet about this model, there are many users who have broken their Avic F700BT/Avic F900BT 2DIN because they didn't do the recommended procedures and others because of incorrect, incomplete or wrong tutorials, etc.
Regarding Navigon GPS, for example, to unlock a Navigon GPS and install iGO Primo, depending on the unlocking mode, in most cases other third-party programmes are needed, such as [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], there is other similar software for Navigon but I can't remember. In the end, the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] issue becomes a bit of a nuisance. In the case of Navigon GPS, over the years I've given up unlocking Navigons, I just use the original software with the updated official maps, it was quite easy, unfortunately now there are no updated maps.

I don't know your model, I've never had one in my hands, but now I ask you a question, with this unlocking mode, have you tried to see if the iGO8 you've installed picks up satellites?

All Navigon model series are different!...

Seems they have the RAM and ROM mixed up too, RAM should be 64 MB not ROM.

I don't want to create any kind of conflict, or doubt you, I don't know where you downloaded this manual, there are still several on the internet, I downloaded some for the 21xx MAX model, they all contain the specifications, but none of them has this information about the 512MB RAM memory.
There's no such thing as mixed ROM and RAM, they're both 64 MB, in fact it always ends up being something less.
This information is wrong.

If I remember correctly, the original software for the GPS Navigon 21xx MAX left the factory with MN6.x, but in 2012 the map updates for the MN6.x software ran out, for this model there was an official software update to MN7.x so that it could continue with updated maps, from the official MN7.x software update on the 21xx MAX model, it started working from SD, other older GPS Navigon models weren't so lucky, for example all those that had WinCE4.2 and worked with MN6.0.

A device (can't remember which brand) I played with years ago I remember destroying because I formatted the extra hidden partition trying to free up space

It may be possible, an example that springs to mind is the Sony NV-U GPS in Europe, which has a total of four internal memory partitions, one visible and three hidden.
But that manual is wrong.

Maybe a better unlocker is needed...

Yes, I agree, a good correct unlock, including the script and the necessary DLLs. Many years ago, I remember that there was a small piece of software for WinCE that detected the necessary DLLs that were missing for software that didn't want to work on certain WinCEs, especially WinCE4.2 and 5. 0, but since it's been so long I can't remember what it was called, sometimes you didn't even need a good unlock, but the right DLL or DLLs, this little software wasn't miraculous, sometimes it gave results for DLLs that didn't exist or there was no information, but it was a great help in these cases, so I think your problem is that you lack the right DLL, installed in the right place, even if it's not in the right place, a script can do the job, in my opinion no iGO Primo will serve you until you have the right DLL or you have a pirated and modified ROM, both things only for those who have knowledge of reverse engineering and a GPS just like it.

All Navigon GPS have the name "Navigon Canada 310", including Navigon PID. I've never understood why they give this name to all Navigon GPS.
Except for the Navigons with WinCE4.2, because I don't know, and the Garmin PIDs, because I don't know either.

Regarding your model, you have 4 options: 2100 MAX, 2110 MAX, 2120 MAX or 21150 MAX, all with 64MB RAM and ROM and 480x272 resolution. There are 2 methods of identifying the model, this is the simplest (white labelling).

Spoiler: Model GPS

The 21xx models that are not MAX have a 320x240 resolution.
