YT,
He says that it will only be used in the US. He can delete the UK map AFTER he is sure that it is receiving a satellite lock. We may need to correct his baud and port. He can also delete the UK and Australian voices. And yes, he can delete the phoneme files.

That's basically what I said. He needs a local map for now.

ok so i think because the GB map i have is old its not showing up on the device is there a newer one to work with the set up, then i can check if gps is working , wasn't finding anything with just the florida map on

That's possible. The UK map that you have is for a different version. Also, did you read my post above regarding finding your port and baud?

Perhaps someone could upload a current UK map for you for iGO8.3 to see if you get a satellite lock? It could take some time getting a lock so be patient.

yes read that but dont know what port or baud are so ill get the map on first and go from there
any downloads of i would be great

Port and baud are the built-in receivers to get a device's satellite lock. Each device has certain numbers. Do a Google search if you want to know more.

EDIT: Take your device outdoors now with a clear view of the sky and see if you can get a lock. I left a basemap on your device so you can check it out.

See here:
-UK--ROI-Content-pack.
It's way more than you need, but just use one UK map for testing, and disregard the rest. Delete your current (old) map first.

so here is where i am at
load the latest uk map on device that was posted up
when i switch in the device goes to the america map by default
so i find a destination in the uk and click set as destination and i get cannot find path,maps,isolated
also had device out side for about 15 mins and it picks up no satelites

Try this:
Start iGO, go into Settings>Right Arrow>GPS...make sure "GPS Enabled" is checked, and tap the Autodetect button in the lower right corner. Let it scan...if you get "GPS receiver has been detected successfully", you should be good to go. Go outside in an area where there is a clear view of the open sky and wait for a satellite connection...this could take from a few minutes to 20 minutes or more. If it locks correctly, the map should zoom to your current location.

thanksthat worked a treat pick up sats and my position right away
so thats it working and up and running, im going to remove the uk map now
still getting the screen flickering though

also any other tweaks i need to do to get it sorted for use in america

thanks again for the help

The screen flickering may be a hardware issue...maybe it's just old and/or on it's way out?
Maybe it has had some flickering before?
Hard to say without actually seeing the device or trying various brightness settings (if possible).
If that's not too bothersome, you should be good. You can remove the UK map (or leave it there..it probably makes no difference) and send it on to wherever.
