Huge difference. Some (myself included) think Primo is a vast improvement over 8.x. Others may not agree.

I am trying to use this first, since some said iGo has the function which can be a split view when in a branching road while others don't have, is that true?


Do you mean like this?

Then yes, it is true. Otherwise, I'm not sure what you mean.

Yes, as long as you understand that some of the features may need to be limited for a 64 MB device. Give me a little time, and I'll put together a custom package for you that you can just copy to your device and run. Same procedure as before--save your content files (except sys.txt--the one I put in the package will be already correctly set for you) and copy to the folders in Primo. i won't be able to help much with Indonesian language and voices though. Is there something else you would prefer besides English?
Also, a question: on your current device, what is the exact names of the folder where the iGo files are, and what is the exact name of the iGo EXE that works?

Answer those and check back in a day or so.

OK. I'm working on it now.
The folder and file name will be "iGO8" (although it will actually be Primo 1.2 (esentially iGO 9)--May 2011 release-- when it is run).
I will post a link for you here when it is ready to download. In the meantime, copy your entire iGO8 folder somewhere to your PC as backup.

Too late. It's already done.
;-)
But there may be a good reason to keep the folder/file names the same. I don't know your device, and I don't have it in front of me so I have to make some educated guesses. One is that it may have some type of Menu system where you choose the navigation program, etc. If so, it may look for a particular folder and file specifically named. By keeping these the same, you don't have to worry about "unlocking" the device or modifying any Menu files to allow it to run something else. It will just 'think' it's running the same as it should.
[SPOILER="Download and Instructions"]
OK..here are the files you need:
NewGo.part1.rar (238.42 MB)
[Please Register or Login to download file]
NewGo.part2.rar (160.64 MB)
[Please Register or Login to download file]

The password for the RAR file(s) = navitotal.

You need to download BOTH parts to your PC (do not wait too long--files/links have been known to be deleted by the file host sometimes), to the same place, use WinRar or similar and extract part 1--part 2 should automatically follow and result in a folder "iGO8". Delete the existing 'iGO8' folder on your device (you backed it up, right!!??). Copy that entire new iGO8 folder to your device to the same place the old one was.
That's it! You should be good to go. Just copy your content (maps, etc) to the appropriate folders and start it up. Since Primo is substantially different in appearance and function from iGO8, I also included a manual (.PDF) in the iGO8 folder that you can keep on your PC and read if you want to.
The graphics in it are a bit fuzzy because I compressed it way down to save space, but it should still be of value to you.
I also included the latest diMka skin for Primo 1.2...which I consider one of the best..and there are instructions in a readme.txt in the iGO8 folder on how to enable it. You don't HAVE to use the new skin, but it does offer you far more customization options and things to play with over the standard look and layout.
Once you get everything set the way you want, it would be a good idea to back up the Save folder under iGO8 to your PC. With 64 MB memory...depending on what features you enable or not.. Primo may eventually run out of memory and crash. If it does, and you start it and it wants you to go through setup again, stop and exit, restore your backed up Save folder, overwriting everything, and all your settings will also be restored and ready to go. If you make more changes, back up the Save folder again each time.
[/spoiler]
Any questions...just ask.
