Thread: IGO Primo and maps on SD card

Thanks for so many replies.
It's not that I need whole Europe but I have to delete files related.
A full update will also load the EU files. Sure I can delete some countries.
But to find the proper updates is not so easy. I have found numerous updates with most of them some sort of trouble like displaced camera's.
For instance Poi plaza files on Here or Tomtom.
You can't mix up different maps. More then once I have been mislead by incompatible information. Or the device OS crashed.
As long as the device leads me correct it's OK to me. I'm not that demanding. But simple updating from an paid website isn't always the easy solution since it's an unknown device.
I don't have so much experience with navigation devices so it's quite confusing with all of these extensions.
I have to read the postings above again and see if I get that straight.

[folders]
has_secondary_root=1
secondary_root= "iGO_content"

The application will use content from both folders : Flash\iGO\content & Card\iGO_content\content

OR

[folders]
maps="\\Storage Card\iGO_content\content\map"
buildings="\\Storage Card\iGO_content\content\building"
dem="\\Storage Card\iGO_content\content\dem"
maps="\\Storage Card\iGO_content\content\map"
poi="\\Storage Card\iGO_content\content\poi"
kmlpoi="\\Storage Card\iGO_content\content\userdata\poi"

You need to identify under which name a card is seen by the SO, using CECmd.
On mine device is Storage Card.

Thanks

So the actual sys.txt should contain where the program will find it's Map's or the entire Content map?
I have to add as I understand some rules in the sys.txt in the IGO program map of the device itself.
It's a bit silly to have two versions of IGO, that's why I asked. It takes an unnecessary huge amount of memory if maps included.

I tried to explain it here...

Texas, he is using WinCE Primo

The characteristics of each version of forum's editions of WinCE iGO8 and Primo is that if in the folders section is not emphasized, they automatically pull content from the card if there is folder addons/content

It is absolutely unnecessary complication of any other kind of path.

Only, this is not the case with some highly customized devices - branded, like Zenec, od Blaupunkt, or...
With every others - a huge bunch of Chinese clones, BlueBerry, Bear, GoClever, Magneo, Navon, Prestigio, Wayteq, Kelec, Samtec, Vivax, X-Drive, etc, etc...this way works!

So simple
- on SD card make folder addons
- in folder addons put folder content

Not OZ
How do you get idea to use that name???
Delete section FOLDERS in sys
In root of SD card only Addons, in it subfolder content. In content maps, poi, etc...
Nothing else.
What Primo are you using? Exact version

I only pointed to the real existing folders on the SD card in an attempt to solve the problem.
What do you mean with addons?
There aren't any, or there is no map or folder with that name.
There is only:

Device.nng
gpsnvm.bin
ALTE.SAVE
OZ

OZ contains Igo and all of it's subfolders, maps and contents, because I copied the entire IGO over to the SD card.

I also found something like this on the internet:
[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/iGO8" ; change this if applicable
sdcardpath="\Storage Card"
exe=""
data="\Storage Card\igo" ;custom,save
content="\Storage Card\igo\CONTENT"
textures="custom"
models="custom"
secondary_root="IPAQ\NAV"

I.m using IGO Primo Gjak v 07
9.6.2.209584

Oh, ... no comment
You named this topic "IGO Primo and maps on SD card". If you wanted both of them then should be "iGO Primo and maps, on SD card". Or only iGO on SD card.
In first post you asked

The new updates of the EU are more massive and won't fit entirely in the device itself...

Story confirmed in post #4.

Content...it is subfolder in iGO, which is exactly what its name says - content.
All answers were intended for this. You got precise instructions. Very precise.
And @DM43 & @Janch told you

And me in post after that.
Now, you tells that you put whole iGO in SD card???

Ok.
Then, again, delete all from [FOLDERS] section in sys. All.
iGO folder must be in root of SD, named iGO, or MobileNavigator. Or even OZ. Just keep original iGO structure.
Choose from your device setup right Navigation Path (which points to the exact position of the main exe file on the card). Like you already did.
That's it. End of story.

The whole confusion is because you do not know the terminology and obviously you do not listen to others. Then why are you asking?
And you didn't pay attention of iGO structure, and I think you did not follow the directions from post #5.
iGO can be loaded with all content in it (from device's memory or from SD card), or from internal memory and partial content from SD card. With exact names and procedure. No other way.

P.S. Use a much more recent Primo. It's recommended so called Honda Civic reborn. For resolution 800x480.
But, if you still want use GJAK skin, then you'll need to find version for Primo 2.4, if there is any.
Or, use Primo 2.0, so called KIA version and keep your current setup.
Now, start reading.
