Thread: Navigator! - Make yourself a good iGO..... by yourself!

IGO for ... DUMMIES - that is, "How do yourself running iGO"
The necessary ingredients:
1. A device (smartphone, tablet, laptop, etc) with the GPS module and memory
2. Access to the Internet,
3. A bit of patience and knowledge of working on a computer

We all - is to work!
Sequence of:

I. Choose the application ;
Fundamental choice dictated by the nature of the system, which is installed in our Device (can be WinCE, WinMobile, Android, iOS).
Another reason is the "amount" of memory of our device, and the "power" of the processor, the type and size of the screen.
A side note:
It must be remembered that the iGO is a program of extremely high demand for memory!
The amount of memory (both operational and built) is critical of "parameters" utility, such as:
1.The Possibility run, the speed and fluidity of his actions,
2.number of maps and other add-ons installed in the program,
It is worth remembering that the standard installation, with no excess skins and other improvements is approx. 0.7 to 1.1 Gb of memory. The whole program with all the maps of Europe (including Russia) takes over 5Gb storage.
Of course you can, along with maps application installed on external storage (SD card), but the amount of memory is important - especially for Devices with screens HD and Full HD.
For this reason, you should choose not to install the latest version of the program on devices "older Type" and for example. Devices running on Android - not install iGO Primo on devices with Android is lower than version 2.2.

II. Preparation of components for our "Building";
The structure and the type of files that make up the whole of the program iGO
presented in a sensational manner colleague Brown Dog, D.I.I in a topic Jamie Oliver ()
-> [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
This is a valid reading for "Builders' !
There have indicated exactly what (what file) and where (to which folder) to copy
(for the record figure of this topic)
-> [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

As you can see the number of the most diverse files is huge!
You can be frightened.
Do not worry though. For proper functioning version of iGO build on each! Device not all files are needed !!!

The list of files that MUST be present in any - any installation iGO:

1. The base (application iGO - by. Our choice made in the first part)
2. The license file - with the License (strictly for version apk - * .lic file)
3. See a map of our country (* fbl file)
4. File (compressed) - Global_config (* global_cfg.zip)
5. File (compressed) data.zip - for our resolution!
6. File (compressed) Lang.zip (for our native language or English Universal)
7. File (compressed) Voice.zip (our language)

As you can see you only need 7 files to build a fully functioning iGO!
These files must be!!!

It is worth to have - although this is not strictly necessary:
8. File sys.txt
9. File POI
10. File Speedcam.txt

Here further comments:

1. iGO is a program that supports the archives! In order to save memory capacity (mainly, but not only) is introduced into the program files present in the form of packaged. These are:
- data.zip
- Lang,
- Voice,
- Additional tools files (additives) ux type utility
- Branding files
- global_cfg,
- skin,
- scheme

2. PLEASE NEVER THE PACKAGED (ZIP) FILE NOT unpack !!! Unpacking AND COPYING THEM AS IS MAY CAUSE THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY, or will not move at all!
3. Warning !!! data.zip, skins and ux-utility must match the version of iGO / VERSION / (* .apk installation, EXE) and data.zip file must be adapted to the resolution of your device. !!!

Probably wonder - why the guy wrote in points 7 - Voice file?
The answer is quite simple - build the basic version. And you only need to file Voice. If someone wants to use TTS (Text to spech) is additionally - will have to start the speech (any available) and also upload customized voice to him (so files Voice TTS).

To sum up today's discussion:
We have a foundation (the selected version of the program), gathered the appropriate media (the correct version .apk. and hardware platforms)
We start the construction (installation program and first run).
Not coincidentally, I used the comparison to building a house.
If we talk about the beautiful and functional object - it's the beginning always need to remember to foundations and unfinished.
After all, you can not start the construction of finishing and marketing additives, and the furniture is not it?
And one more thing:
Create your own version of iGO will allow the user to embracing what, where, and how, and besides Adding any additives, tools and embellishments can be done only on the version of the operating properly and installed.
Any mistakes at this stage will result in suspension of the program and incorrect work. Therefore, the amount of files to its basic version is so small !!! (easier to reinstall and catch errors - eg. bad downloaded files).

III. Construction;
On a PC, we create a "new folder" - change its name to iGO.
Inside this folder, create another - new - as in the accompanying screen:


To copy the contents of the folder content content_folder - eg. This post - [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] (Thx Brown Dog)
To set up folders, copy all the files - specified in paragraph II (files from 1 to 7) if their absence.
Copy to root folder:
iGO apk, data.zip and sys.txt (if you selected apk. "not_changed").
Other files like:
maps, poi, SpeedCam, branding scheme, skin, ux - "leave it for later".
The folder contains only file maps Basemap, or it may be empty.
Yes iGO created folder copy to internal memory or to an SD card - depending on the apk and release.
Disconnect the device from the PC and launch the apk iGO.
After installation, restart the device, and then run iGO.

If all the files described in Part II have been properly copied, apk and data.zip properly matched to the device and this program should run without any messages on the screen you should see the main screen menu - with an empty map window.

If this is so - it means that our program is working properly and you're ready to supplement other missing files and copy them to the right - described earlier folders. Our building completed successfully! - You can do, "Interior Finish".

If there is any message or the program will not start - it meant that we made a mistake.
When properly selected apk and data.zip - error messages usually concern the lack of lang files, voice or license, or misconfigurations resolution.
Everything you need to improve before they begin to copy the rest of the files.
It is easier and faster while copying the necessary files (weight about 350 Mb) than copying what moment the whole weighing often 1.5 - 2.5 Gb.

good construction!
