Did you add the new speedcam file or replaced the old one?
Adding is putting the new speedcam.txt file next to the old one. Then the files are merged into a new larger spb file.
When you however delete the existing (old) speedcam files first, then copy the new speedcam.txt file in the folder, a completely new database is created.
Also, do you need the speedcams for countries you never ever visit?

Delete ALL files in the speedcam folder and copy the latest speedcam.txt in that empty folder. Exit iGO and restart. That's it.

I installed IGO Primo on a Medion P4425. Everything works fine, only after suspending the navigation, the GPS reciever won't turn on after pressing the button Turn on GPS.
Is there a sollution?

How did you install Primo and make Primo run? I hope you did not remove the Gopal, because it's essential.


Have you got these lines in sys.txt?
[gps]
port=2
baud=4800
source="nmea"

I try to run IGO Primo 2 on Medion P4425. the program runs fine but has a problem after a power cut.
When I put the power up again the IGO Primo can't find the GPS reciever.
In the sys.text is
[GPS]
port-2

I tried diffent baud settings , the didn't resolve te problem.

Any solutions ?

I hope sys.text says port=2, not port-2. Baud=4800
These settings are the correct ones.
Another solution is to not have anything in sys.txt. Primo should be smart enough to find GPS port and baud. The sys.txt settings are only needed to force the port and baud.

What do you mean "can't find"? Can not find at all or can not find in an instant? Your device should have a clear view to the sky. That is important for a fix.
More: "after a power cut" means how long since the power cut? Satellites move around the world and the GPS chip remembers the last known position of the satellites. On a start up that is the "place" where the GPS chip looks for the satellites, but when there has some time passed since, the satellites are in a completely different spot. Searching for a fix then will need more time. Thus patience can be a virtue.

Thanks for your quick replay Nabi.

The power-cut can be sort or long, this doesn't make any difference.
After booting the medion, everything works fin. The GPS reciever detects the satellites good.
When I turn of the power and turn it on again, Primo can't find the GPS reciever of the Medion.I get the message that the GPS reciever is disconnected and I heve a button to turn on the GPS reciever. Pressing this button gives no result. When I put a skip-suspend or skip resume command under [power] section of the sys.txt I get a message '" Looking for GPS reciever" even after 20 minutes there is nog connection with the reciever I tried with no setting in the systxt but this made no difference. When I reboot the Medion everything works fine again till the next power-cut or power loss.
The Go-pal software works without any problem, even after a power cut.
Any ideas
Is making a new branding.zip or data.zip any option ?

Gopal works and has a quick GPS fix. Thus : How did you unlock the Medion? How did you set up Primo?

I use a go--pal skin (Navirunner) which gives me the possibility to start GoPal navigation or another program.
I start primo with a script :

Errorlevel ("off")

Kill ( "\My Flash Disk\Navigation\remotectrl\GnsFmtSrvc.exe" )
sleep (200)
Kill ("\My Flash Disk\navigation\audiomanager.exe")
Sleep ( 200 )
Kill ("\My Flash Disk\navigation\ssp.exe")
Sleep ( 200 )
Kill ("\My Flash Disk\navigation\ssp_so.exe")
Sleep ( 200 )
Kill ("\My Flash Disk\Navigation\mnavdce.exe")

RegWriteDword ("HKLM" , "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeou ts", "ACSuspend" , 0)
RegWriteDword ("HKLM" , "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeou ts", "ACSystemIdle" , 0)
RegWriteDword ("HKLM" , "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeou ts", "ACUserIdle" , 0)
RegWriteDword ("HKLM" , "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeou ts", "BattSuspend" , 0)
RegWriteDword ("HKLM" , "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeou ts", "BattSystemIdle" , 0)
RegWriteDword ("HKLM" , "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeou ts", "BattUserIdle" , 0)

Run "\Storage Card\Primo2\Primo2.exe"

exit

Even with a simple execute: \storage card\primo2\primo2.exe I have the same problem

I tried even to setup Primo on the Flashdisk of the Medion but this didn' resolve the problem. I switch on the power, Primo is running but can't find te GPS-reciever.

The skin I use prevent the gopal navigation to start. I don't use it, gopal blocks the entrence of the com port and Primo can't find the GPS reciever.

Is using Miopocket an option ?

As far as I know, Gopal uses a command " opencom2.exe which is in the windows directory.
Is it possible to put a command under the power section in the sys.txt like exec_path: \windows\opencom2.exe ?

Miopocket? Not in my opinion.

It has to do with the way Medion locks its GPS for one program (Gopal). I run iGO and Primo as well as Gopal on my Medion. The only issue is that I can not get TMC to work (yet) in iGO or Primo,but GPS is quick and accurate.

What you should do first is check your Gopal buildnumber (not GoPal 5 or 5.5 but I mean in settings-about where you see what maps are loaded it will show at the bottom a 5number digit, something like 93123 or ....) and next check if your skin is suited for that build.
You could then ask the skin maker when the skin is correct.

Or you could try out Fatboyfuns Universal skin. If you are interested, I will post how to set it up. A remark: Gopal is not the best of navigation software and looks minimal. But skinning often has a negative influence on Gopals functioning (position plus announcing too late)

Yes, but my Medion has different hardware.

Then the skin should be for that version and for no other version !! Skin builds for other GoPal builds will not function or not as expected!!
