Thread: FAQ iGO encodings and speedcam.txt [compatibility]

FAQ iGO OEM

I'm trying to understand the situation with the first five iGO codes. Let's say the 1.2.3.4.5 encoding is the default for all iGOs since the program's inception. Let's call this phenomenon "iGO OEM." This also applies to all iGO-based programs, such as Becker and other iGO-based ones. If you don't have iGO Primo, which was released in 2010, but an older version of iGO, such as iGO8 or iGO8.3, then your speedcam.txt is iGO OEM. Also, if you iGO OEM, you can't use spc files from HERE or TomTom. Because spc is iGO Primo's encoding, you'll get unreliable notifications.
Now, regarding usage, how many users are still using older hardware? I estimate their number is approximately 0.1% of the total iGO user base, as those using iGO Primo since 2010, newer Android devices, and iGO Primo Nextgen.
Now let's talk about OEM for iGO Primo. So, iGO Primo is a workaround for iGO's bugs, a different approach to route building, and a different coding principle. All radar coding to this day is based on iGO Primo. You can safely use spc, as this is iGO Primo's encoding.
"OEM iGO Primo" has a coding system with a 32-bit repetition rate. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and so on up to 992.
Now about my publications: Mod AF, speedcam.txt. All files are created for iGO Primo users. Let's call this OEM iGO Primo. We've covered two concepts: OEM iGO and OEM iGO Primo. If you're an iGO Primo user, you don't need to look for special speedcam.txt files for OEM iGO with encoding 1.2.3.4.5.
Your navigator supports at least 16 notification types, and up to 32 notification types when using a skin. Older iGO Primo skins 24, 25, or 27 notification types, depending on the skin author's efforts. Mod AF - 32 types as in iGO Primo Nextgen.

iGO 8 is the next version of iGO, released in 2008. Its key feature is realistic 3D navigation with terrain display, road junctions, buildings, and other landmarks.

iGO Amigo is a version of iGO with a simplified user interface, released in 2009. It retains the core features of iGO 8 required for GPS navigation, although its capabilities are limited compared to the previous version to achieve maximum simplicity and ease of use. Features of iGO Amigo:

• a built-in presentation that teaches the user how to use the program;
• low-maintenance RAM usage, allowing the program to run quickly on any device;
• Comparison of multiple route options (fast, short, economical, easy);
• The "Where am I?" function determines your current GPS coordinates and displays nearby points of interest, such as a police station, emergency room, auto repair shop, etc.;
• The route is displayed as dots, allowing you to see your direction even at very low speeds;
• The cursor shape can be selected—a standard "arrow" or a cursor representing various vehicle models.
• The app is preinstalled on personal navigators from several brands, including Navon, Prestigio, and others.

iGO My Way 2009 is a version of iGO for iPhone. Currently, the app is available in the Apple App Store with maps of North America and Europe. Features of iGO My Way 2009:

• TTS Pro (Text-to-Speech) support, which provides voice prompts for street and city names, as well as traffic information and information about road conditions within a country after crossing its border.
• Google Local Search – search for businesses, landmarks, and other points of interest near the user's current location;
• purchase of additional content through the App Store;
• realistic display of interchanges;
• calculation of an "eco-friendly" route with the lowest fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in addition to the standard quick, short, and easy route options;
• search for POIs along the route;
• select iPhone contacts, GPS coordinates, and photos as the destination;
• route calculation with multiple waypoints;
• the ability to call a POI directly from the navigation app;
• the "Where am I?" function determines the current GPS coordinates and displays the nearest necessary points of interest, such as a police station, emergency room, car service, etc.;
• Automatic device orientation detection (portrait/landscape orientation);
• Display of traffic lanes and realistic signs during navigation;
• Selectable cursor shape—standard "arrow" or models of various vehicles;
• Automatic return to navigation mode after an incoming call.

iGO Primo is the latest version of the program, released in 2010. Like iGO Amigo, it has a simple user interface, but also includes a wide variety of features and customization options.

iGO Primo features:

• High-resolution 3D terrain display;
• Point Addressing—navigate through driveways and search for houses with fractional numbers, multiple buildings, etc.;
• Realistic display of road signs in the country;
• An improved program core significantly accelerates the calculation of complex routes;
• Additional navigation tips—information about the next two maneuvers, warnings about road safety cameras, speeding alerts, etc.;
• The "Back to Car" function automatically remembers the car's position when the device is disconnected from the power supply;
• Simultaneous calculation of multiple route options, including an "eco-friendly" route;
• Accounting for traffic restrictions that depend on the time of day or day of the week (e.g., streets closed to traffic on weekends);
• Display of traffic lanes and realistic signs during navigation;
• The user can customize the quick menu and map screen;
• The cursor shape can be selected—a standard "arrow" or models of various vehicles;
• The route is displayed as dots, allowing you to see the direction of travel even at very low speeds;
• The "Where am I?" function determines your current GPS coordinates and displays the nearest necessary points of interest, such as a police station, emergency room, auto repair shop, etc.;
• The program takes into account and displays traffic regulations in different countries (maximum speed limits in and outside populated areas, permissible blood alcohol levels, etc.);
• Truck navigation (iGO Primo Truck version), taking into account the vehicle's dimensions and the nature of the cargo.

The program is pre-installed on personal navigation devices.

iGO Primo Nextgen was introduced in 2015.
