chinese gps problem

Tue Mar 22, 2011 1:58 pm

Please help before I kill it! Igo8, Amigo or Primo, same problem. After approx 5mins unit keeps flipping to map mode on its own. I change it back to nav mode but it changes again on its own! This goes on constantly. Unit is Chinese 5" wince6. I wondered if it's wince6? I'm. Pulling my hair out.

Huh? What do you mean it goes to map mode? Sounds normal to me. Isn't it navigating while in map mode?

Sorry I wasn't very coherent. It goes on to the screen with the zoom buttons, compass, blah do day. Is it a 'view' mode perhaps?

"blah do day" ??? What does that mean? Is that English?

Do you possibly mean the screen is changing from 3D view to 2D view or what?

You don't mean "Overview" mode do you?

aaaaah yes i think thats it - 'overview' - many thanks. it changes to that on its own constantly with no help from me, and i have to change it back - it's most annoying.

as for the "blah do day" - lol that was a typo - i was using my HTC and it was the predictive text!

Did you try deleting the save folder?

thanks for that - tried it but Primo made a new save folder lol

Primo will make a new save folder, Deleting it is the same as a factory reset.

In simpler terms to understand, whenever you start the program a new save folder is created every time even after deleting the folder.

glad to say that Primo is now working ok (so far) - i re-installed everything and i have my fingers crossed!
