Hello guys,
My primo 2 doesn't give voice directions (e.g "turn right") sometimes. It mutes the radio and keeps silent. After a few turns though, it does say the voice directions. And the problem comes on and off as I follow the route. Whether it says the directions or not, the background music (radio/cd) is muted. I tried it with non-TTS and TTS voices. Does anyone know a fix to make Primo announce voice commands all the time?
Below are some extra details:
1. Device: Boss BV9370NV. WinCE 6.0. 105MB RAM. 800x480 screen. 2Din unit. The map software that came with the unit (PolNav) doesn't have the problem.
2. I got the Primo 2 program from here. http://www.navitotal.com/showthread.php?9656-iGo-Primo-2.0-Build-9.6.5.211211-%28Dec-07-2011%29-Torrent-TBM
Used the non-TTS and TTS voice files from the same link. Didn't use the skins. Kept the sys.txt file the same except adding the GPS com port and baud rate. Tried it with Navteq USA maps and Navteq and TA POIs.
3. I didn't try any other build of Primo2 or iGo or any other navigation programs (except the PolNav that came with the unit). The PolNav maps were outdated and the manufacturer's link for updating maps didn't work. So I started digging online and Primo 2 seems to be the best, but I don't know what are the advantages and disadvantages of Primo 2 (vs Primo1, iGo8 etc). So I'm open to trying other builds/programs if that's better for a 2 Din unit. Suggestions are welcome.
4. I'm just learning about navigation softwares and WinCE. So you can explain things in details like I'm a newbie, I won't get offended.
I think that's all the info. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks for your time!
