Try this one, at one time did on requests on 4PDA, should match this for [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Since the vision is no longer like that of the Chingachgook, and the information content of the navigation screen is not in the last place," I tweaked a little for myself, so forgive me Pongo®, its the_skin_by_pongo.zip from 12.04.2021
What I did:
1. Slightly increased the font at the bottom of the screen (direction, arrival time, travel time, distance)
2. Increased the font on the speed limit signs.
3. Replaced the arrows in the "traffic lanes" with one of the options from Alain (green).
4. "Packed" more tightly the_skin_by_pongo.zip
Maybe someone else will need it?
Thank you: Pongo® for everything, Ribou for (hints) & Alain for (icons)

How can I update to the latest version of the skin?

I have iGO Israel Nextgen 9.18.27.687519 on an external SD with the 2017-01-22 version of the skin.
I downloaded the 2020-11-03 version from this topic: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. I copied all files except the speedcam folder and the sys.txt file in order to keep my settings. As a result the app crashes just before completing the start process.

Is the version of the skin incompatible with the version of the iGO app? Is it possible that the old sys.txt causes the crash?

Don't mix old and new content. It is highly recommended to clear cache and delete the save folder after replacement.
Etc

Of course it is compatible, it is in the very definition of skin.

You can also check if in your UX folder you have the file next_maneuver_overview_ng.zip.
If so, remove this file from the folder.

I have answered to your posts earlier, but my answers were not approved for some reason.

Of course the "2D-overview of maneuver" setting removed the preview.

I still try to figure out how can I make the entire map zoom in when approaching a turn and then zoom out after completing the turn. Whoever has a clue, please post.

I made the last version of the skin work, but it has a different UI, so I'm not sure I intend to keep it.
I'm not sure I understand all the instruction though. For example it is stated:

• if there is a need for even more additional functions, activate only the necessary , inactive plug-ins by deleting three dashes at the end .... zip ( ---), I do not advise you to activate everything, most of them you just do not need;
• select a start plugin from an archive / ux_additionally / loading_ux and write to the folder ux: ;

I don't see any files ending with 3 dashes in the last version of the skin.
Should I keep the previous "gpsandmore_generic.zip" in that case, as that file is not existent among the files of the Update 03-11-2020?

I'm coming from an iGO Primo setup on Windows CE where this behavior (zooming in and out at turns) was the default behavior.

In the "Map appearance" I have "Viewpoint" set to "Normal" and "Enabled user settings" turned off.
In the "Automatic Overview Settings" I have "Automatic overview" enabled and "Automatic Overview Mode" set to default.
In the "Cockpit" settings I have the "Mini maneuver" enabled, the "Dist Hide Mini Maneuver" set to 1000m and the "Mini Maneuver with Junction View Visible" also enabled.

The version of the skin is 2017-01-22.

With these settings the map zooms out to give a general view of the journey when traveling at high speeds, but when slowing down to make a turn the map stays at the "Normal" viewpoint level.

If someone has a solution, I'm all ears.

@gpsseeker,, you have to put; Enabled user settings-on ,and do not activate,; map angle dependence on speed;
Smart zoom must be activated,for this you need to put viewpoint first to manual, enable smart zoom, then switch back viewpoint to normal
If dont work, make a fresh install, sometime things go crazy
