Sorry eskro, probably my bad. My device is 480_272 and it worked just fine. I couldn't open up the data.gro in readable English so I assumed 800_480 worked. Maybe you can "force" it by making the following sys.txt entries:

[interface]
show_exit=1
resolution_dir="480_272"
width=480
height=272

[rawdisplay]
driver="GDI"
class="landscape"
highres=0
screen_x=800
screen_y=480

or even this:

[interface]
show_exit=1
resolution_dir="480_272"
vga=0

[rawdisplay]
highres=0
screen_x=480
screen_y=272
stretch=1

Remember to delete the "save" folder each time. Also save the sys.txt before exiting.
If it ain't broke don't fix it!

You need a dedicated skin for each resolution. Search for Freddysam My Amigo Skin (v40 was the last version he made), he had skins for all the different resolutions. I am using his 480x272, it is the best skin for Amigo.

Probably a skin is the best solution. Amigo is not designed to support 800*480.
You could change your data.gro, if you can find one supporting 800*480 (or 400*240) but I have the impression that died Amigo links are not easy replaced. Questions about Amigo are also rare. Very rare.
In other words, Amigo is out, Primo is in.

I can check if I can provide a data.gro. But not now, this evening at home.
Do you still want met to look for a data.gro?

The question is not why you googled, but why you did not check our skin section? What you want is there, links are alive!!

What would be more simple ? ;)

@eskro

UPSS and I are very happy with Amigo. UPSS and Miomoshe [if I remember correctly] worked very hard with freddysam to produce a winner that I still think is the best nav to date. Glad to hear that it's working. I'm sure you'll be very happy.

@ chas, you are 100%. I have been using Amigo practically since day one with Freddysam's skin and I don't have a compelling reason to switch to Primo even though I have both installed on my C320. Also, I don't care for any Primo skins that "think" I am driving in Europe unless they come with a free BMW or a Mercedes.

i like the fact that AMIGO is really simple and clean!

like its not bloated by 8987 different settings and stuff...

its pretty straight forward!

but uhm, is there something u cant do with AMIGO that u can with iGO8?

like the Panoramic view when im a on a road for more than lets say 3KM?

thanks

Except for the simpler and more intuitive interface all iGO8 command should work with Amigo, you just have to experiment with it. I really never used extensively iGo8, I migrated almost 2 years ago straight from MioMap 3.3 to Amigo.
