What have you tried so far?

Have you been using the instructions for iGo Primo here?

yes I have followed the instructions as per igo8, as primo is not listed

The iGO8 file works fine in Primo. You do know that you have to have a satellite lock before you can switch the warnings on, don't you?

It would also be useful if on the instructions page it said that, with a standard skin, you need a sat lock before you can switch on the cam alerts for the first time.

Where are you looking to switch them on?
Do you have in the CONTENT\speedcam folder the files SpeedCam.spdb, SpeedCamUpdates.spud and one or more PGPSW text files?

garyowens · Occasional Visitor Joined: Mar 02, 2006 Posts: 25

yes, the speed cam files are in there, but nothing else?

If you don't have the .spdb and .spud files in the SPEEDCAM folder then it won't work
NO, Don't copy them back. iGO generates them.
You do this
1. Delete everything in the SPEEDCAM folder.
2. Copy the PGPSW camera .txt file(s) into the SPEEDCAM folder.
3. Restart iGO
When iGO restarts it will 'hang' for maybe up to 30 secs on INITIALLISING WARNING DATA (or somesuch). This is iGO generating the .spdb file from the PGPSW .txt file.
4. Get a sat lock.
5. Switch on the alerts.

When you get used to iGO you will wonder how you put up with the junk from TT Very Happy

Right, done as you said, files are in there, BUT, still not showing speed cams, tried all the options and tick boxes, still no joy
