Thread: iGO Primo Nextgen 2.4 9.6.13.405512 Wince 5/6 (800x480) Ferrari edition

not is NextGen .. is a small version of Primo 2.4 with NextGen Fireworks..

It sounds like the software is not seeing your GPS radio. Check the sys.txt file to see what is specified under the [GPS] section. You can try setting the port and baud rate to "AUTO" to see if it finds the GPS radio itself - or you might need to specifically set the port and baud rate.

You will also need to install map files if you don't already have them installed.

Thanks. I access the sys.txt fle you mentioned but I don't see any GPS section, I also use the search option and nothing came up, however, I load maps and licenses and the defauit the software, and runs just fine, a little slow but all works fine. Thanks.

Ok, great. Sounds like it's auto-detecting the GPS radio then (defaults to auto-detect if no [gps] section in sys.txt) and the problem was simply because you didn't have any maps installed. Glad to hear that all is well now!

What do you think of Nextgen compared to iGo8 and/or Primo? Personally, I didn't like it - not as "finger friendly" as iGo8/Primo in my opinion.

I think you r right, nicer options and graphics but not to nice to the touch, I guess is because requires more RAM and that's why slows down everything.

Did you change it back to igo 8 or primo?

Right now, I'm using Primo 2.4 (9.6.13.405512). But I was using iGo8 for a long time before switching to Primo for good. iGo8 is the fastest, smoothest GPS app for my 2DIN head-unit (a Rosen GM1010).

Primo speed is perfectly acceptable though - and it has a lot more features that I do like, so I'm using Primo now and will stick with it unless I run into major issues. iGo8 is just faster and smoother on screen updates in the 3D interface (which is what I use 100% of the time). Primo screen updates are a little less "fluid". But since you don't normally sit there watching it anyway, it's not really a big deal....

I still prefer Loquendo TTS though - voices are just more natural sounding - and since I recently found that newer versions of iGo 2.4 (such as 405512) also work with Loquendo voices, I'm pretty happy with Primo now (currently using Loquendo 7 TTS with it).

Nice! So I guess I give it a shot, did you happen to have it handy? I will like to give it a shot, I might also use a faster SD card, it might help 👍

Actually, I just realized that this thread, while having "NextGen" in the title, is actually just a heavily-skinned version of Primo 2.4! :-)

If you want to try a "stock" version of 2.4 (same version - 9.6.13.405512), here is a link:

A "true" Nexgen version is quite different. What I meant by it being less "finger friendly" is that the areas that you touch to do things are smaller, so it's not as easy to control it while in the car. Very different interface than iGo8 or Primo...
