iGO 8.3.2.83157
#########################################################################
0) preamble

i was confused coz there's a lot of info about this, but almost
none of the methods work. i read about flashing the rom etc. but
i can assure you, the modifications are restricted to the sd card.

or at least, they are with the myguide 3000 :)

these files are taken from quite a few different releases, and in
this combination they finally work (for me). you may call this a
repack, if you wish :)

note: application.dat is just a copy of igo8.exe. somehow it likes
it this way.

1) requirements:

- sd card reader
- file manager
- teleatlas map files

uh-oh, that's all.

provided:

- app
- dem files
- lang files
- speedcam info
- voice files
- color schemes

you can find map files elsewhere, search for 'teleatlas', such as:
 http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4974968/IGO8_R3_Maps_Europe_2009.02_by_TeleAtlas_and_TopMap_-_(Malestrom

i won't include map files coz this way i can speed up the download
for those who need the app only, and maps can be updated separately,
then you don't have to download and set up the whole thing again.

2) backup

copy all the content from the sd card. if something goes wrong, 
you can restore the original state.

or maybe the best solution is to buy a new 2 GB card, they are
really cheap nowadays (haven't tested yet).

3) copy igo

extract igo8.zip, and copy the resulting igo8 folder to the root
of your sd card.

#########################################################################
4) copy map files

extract all map files. the simplest way is to use 7-zip (free),
select all (ctrl+a), and extract all of them via the context menu
(right click).

copy 3dc and 3dl files to igo8/content/building
copy fbl files to igo8/content/map
copy poi files to igo8/content/poi

the simplest way to select files with a certain extension is
pressing + in total commander.

5) set up igo

you need a proper sys.txt. it depends on your model, i provide an
example with quite a few options, and one which is known to work
with my myguide 3000. if you need more info, google for it. lines
starting with semicolon are ignored. the most important part is to
fix the app variable, which is "Storage CardiGO8" now. replace it
according to your model's conventions. if the app variable is
incorrect, you will likely get a 'program application database cannot
be found' message. if you think your sys.txt is correct, copy it to
the igo8 folder on the sd card (replace the current one with
'CONFIGURE ME' message). for myguide 3000, just use
sys.txt.myguide3000 and rename it to sys.txt.

you also need a license file. i provide one in license.zip, but
it may not be suitable world wide, find another one if in trouble.
i couldn't use the provided one in central europe. when you got a
usable one, copy the lic file to the igo8/license folder.

6) run igo

on myguide 3000, open addons.txt in the root of your sd card.
in [modules], add

iGO = "", "\Storage Card\igo8\igo8.exe" 

and you will have 'iGO' in your main menu. you may also add

Explorer = "", "\Windows\Explorer.exe"

and you will have access to windows explorer from the main menu.
on other models, find a way to run igo8/igo8.exe.

on first run, igo will initialize the speedcam warnings database.
it will take time (up to 10 minutes) and may end up in 'out of
memory error'. in this case, just delete these 2 files:

- igo8/content/speedcam/speedcam.txt
- igo8/content/speedcam/SpeedcamUpdates.spud

of course now you won't get warnings about speedcams (but at
least you'll be able to use igo). anyway, for updates, use
google or other search engines, just like for maps. you will
only need the spud file, since the txt one is for igo 2006,
but i just provide it for good.
