NEWBIE [and THE OTHERS :)] PROBLEMS with NG INSTALATIONS

**jenom** · 18th November 2021, 05:37 PM

I have a working iGO Primo Nextgen 9.18.27.736653. and would like to add POI.
Already downloaded and installed my country's POI and it is placed into /CONTENT/POI/
It does not show up on map, likely sys.txt or something else needs to be modified.
Any suggestion, what to do?
Thank You !

? is there the appropriate license?
? are the POIs also activated / switched on in the map-> setting?
? there are separate POIs (KML) that belong in Content\Userdata\Poi\*.kml - Userdate\Usericon\*.bmp

The default is POI visibility only from a radius of 30Km / zoom level

--license: I do not know
--in Settings there is no Map section
--it is a xxx.POI file in Content/POI/

**rondoan** · 18th November 2021, 07:58 PM

Settings-> Navigation View-> Map Display-> POI [Points of Interest] Settings

and read more over -> About this software-> Content-> e.g. Address points

Hello, have a few questions for you,

*How do I make the navigation arrow or car icon too big?

*Road it's too narrow, how can I expand and color it?

*The map screen is too slanted to appear from the sky.

*I want to map use a little steep.

*Can you share the sys codes about this?

Best Regards.

Köşegen.

For My Way and Primo

Questions in the wrong section, here are the "problems" with NextGen ...
"My Way" and Primo are both Primo editions ... You can determine the edition more precisely by looking in the about box.

If no one answers in the meantime, I'll write you a part tomorrow, I have to sleep now

Edit:

For Android Primo, special UX files have been created
- CarSize_2.0 (i have and use)
- road_with ux or part of data.zip, colors also adjusted there
- the appearance/view height of the map is adjusted in the software options
All of the above may be part of a skin. If you use it, you have to study it well.

Looking for help. Searched here and tried but no success.
I'm desperate.
I have iGO nextgen Israel
9.18.27.687519
jan 2017
Skin by Pongo
Mod. by ibuxx
version 02-02-2020

My device Medion E5001
Android 5.0.2

I deleted all unnecessary apps.
I installed this iGO on internal memory only with the maps I use: Belgium-France-Spain-Portugal.
No SD-card
Works smoothly.

But when I insert a new sd-card iGO won't start anymore even if I don't use this sdcard for iGO.
Message: "Missing or incomplete folder: /mnt/sdcard2/iGO/licence.zip:/mnt/sdcard2/iGOlicence.zip:open failed: EACCES(Permission denied)"
Next message: "global_cfg not found"

From what I have searched and found here it looks like inserting an sdcard my device switches from main memory to sd?

In Total Commander without sdcard when I click the folder where iGO folder is I see:
/storage/sdcard0/iGO

When I insert sdcard I see:
New sdcard: /storage/sdcard0
storage/sdcard1/iGO

In sys.txt:
[folders]
data_folder_name="iGO"
Linked root_root_list="/storage/sdcard0 /storage/sdcard1 /storage/sdcard2 /mnt/sdcard1 /mnt/sdcard2 / etc...
;has_secondary_root_path=1
;android_secondary_root_path="/storage/sdcard0/addons"

I'm sure I'm missing something here. I'd like to have a working iGO from internal memory and move the maps to this sdcard.

I think your device is set to use the card as a memory extension, or to change their places which is very interesting and which is causing a system problem. It has nothing to do with iGO.
Unfortunately, the software cannot dynamically follow the change.

I was replying to you by telling you to try this SD version[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

but then I realized that you are confusing (too much) and the fault may not be all of the device.

In sys.txt:
[folders]
data_folder_name="iGO"
Linked root_root_list="/storage/sdcard0 /storage/sdcard1 /storage/sdcard2 /mnt/sdcard1 /mnt/sdcard2 / etc...

The "original" line is:

linked_root_list="/storage/emulated/0 etc

lowercase and with only one root, and as icing on the cake, the sys you added is not from Israel but from Luna .......

Thank you for replying.
The linked_root_root thing was my typo, sorry for that.

In the sys.txt file I added it is written correct. You are also right about the Luna sys.

I just didn't understand why iGO won't start anymore after inserting an sdcard only for extra memory. What I can see in Total Commander is that the device seems to switch internal and external memory. I added some more in the linked root list, because in TC I can see different names for the internal and external memory in the root folder, the storage folder and the mnt folder.
Finally success! iGO starts from internal with an sdcard inserted! Hallelujah.

Ok, thanks to all the help found here on the forum I managed to move the map folder etc to the sdcard.
Still some minor issues. When I start iGO I see :"Download pauzed 0MB. And once more:"Missing or incomplete folder:"/mnt/sdcard2/iGO/licence.zip:/mnt/sdcard2/iGO/licence.zip:open failed:EACCES (Permission denied)...But I can click on ok and iGO starts installing? (that's what's on the screen while loading.) Every time I start iGO it says installing. Beats me.
