You need the correct data.zip and maybe branding.zip with your screen resolution.
Both Igo and Primo work fine on my 7" with 800x480 including TTS.
But I suggest that you get your device first bevore you post more requests for a device you don't even have yet ;)
With CE6 you won't have any problems with GPS software on a 800x480device - at least with most of them:)

ok thanx chas521 :P
when i said im afraid to buy and make a mistake,
i was wondering how iGO is gonna look on a 800x480 - 5" screen GPS
Since it appears that it doesnt support that resolution natively yet...
:/
dont know what to do...

/Link removed/ <<< you'll have to google it yourself.
It's just one example that IT WORKS. You need to dig the right data.zip and sys.txt config (plus obviously a skin).
My concern would be the CPU on these Chinese GPS units...from what I read they don't quite live up to the specs. Then drawing the map and positioning the cursor can become a problem.
I remember when the HP IPaq 310 came out I was surprised it had dedicated video acceleration - for the same resolution.

hmmm,,, but the unit does seem to have iGO pre-installed so, i guess its already good to go then... no?

Just 2 minutes before this post you posted on another forum you would buy the unit.

your right!
but i just noticed the unit does seem to have iGO pre-installed,,,,
i'll contact seller and ask him directly...
Thu Jul 29, 2010 6:43 am
Only just noticed?
Do I need to quote your earlier posts?
Thu Jul 29, 2010 6:45 am
because if you check on DX, many user complained about the fact that they didnt receive what they were buying,,,,
it shows one thing, and they got another....

If you don't trust the reseller, search for an other reseller or device.
Why did you choose that device in the first place? Now you have doubts?
I gave you a link before. I know for sure those devices are good. But it's a Europe reseller. I don't know if the device is available in Canada.
Someone else gave you another link, in Canada.

ok no problem.... i dont want to angry nobody.... i wont ask any more questions...

eskro...although the unit has a resolution of 800x480 it may not have that res for the sat nav ....i brought a unit cliaming 800x480 which in fact it did but only for the dvd player , when the sat nav booted up it was 480x234 resolution....but dont worry cos all the resolutions are available and you can test yours with a small program that is available....

Eskro, I have Igo running on a chinese 7" GPS and it came preloaded.
It runs fine and looks great.
Some pictures like the loading screen or the shut down screen are in low res, but the map is displayed nicely in 800x480 -because of the correct data.zip.
I really don't know why you so scared all of a sudden :)
If that thing has 800x480 than most softwares will run fine - OZI looks nice ;)
128mb RAM and at least 2GB of Flash and all is good ;)
