Hi guys, sorry for if this thread is posted in the wrong spot.

I need help with my new gps system I purchased for my father. I bought this system...

46274628

I uploaded my iGo program onto it and everything works fine.

My problem is that I need Cantonese and/or Mandarin language on the gps system AND iGo software so my father can use it.

Does anyone know how I can solve this problem ?

What version of iGo software?
I have Chinese (simple) and Chinese (traditional) for Primo. I don't know if you will get any closer than that.

Can't help you with the DEVICE language...probably nobody can except the manufacturer.

Hey thank you so much for the quick reply.

My iGo version is "Nav N Go iGo8 : 8.3.4.142975"

Sorry, I forgot to mention...

When i go into "settings>regional>program language", it shows the Chinese flags but with "squares" next to them. When I chose this option, it restarted and all the words were in the shape of a square.

Sorry..I don't think the language files for Primo will work for you.
You may have to wait and see if any iGo 8.3x users can help you.

Alright, thanks though.

This usually means there is no Chinese/Mandarin font (character set) within iGO

Ok, well you you know how I can get the font on there ?

I have never needed to install a Chinese font into iGO, i don't know if it's even possible, I will look into it...

From a quick Google search it appears there was a dedicated Chinese version of iGO, but it's quite old now and finding a valid link is going to be impossible in the current climate.

Guys,
You know there is a Chinese Navitotal forum that can be accessed from the main page here. I don't speak Chinese so I wouldn't be able to help more than this. But I do have the complete Cantonese Loquendo TTS.

EDIT: My apologies. It's not TTS.

Hey thanks for the help guys. I went onto the Chinese forum and found a "TAHOMA.TTF" file which i replaced the original ttf file and it works. Well kinda lol, all the letters are in Chinese now EXCEPT the bottom row where it shows "MAP-SETTINGS-EXIT". Those words for some reason still show in squares. Any ideas on why this is happening ?

This is a question that you should be asking in the Chinese forum not here in English.

I don't know how to write in Chinese. I used "Google TRANSLATE" with the thread and got the instructions in English.

Wish I could help you with the Chinese thing but I have enough trouble with just English LOL. Here's a suggestion. Send a PM to Capo [Navitotal admin] and ask him if he could tell you who the mods are there for iGO. Perhaps one of them can speak/write English.
