primo maps on memory card

Fri Jul 24, 2015 12:43 pm

does anybody know how I can put map files in both my device memory and a memory card in Igo primo 2.4
I upgraded from Igo8 which showed maps whether they were in Igo8\content\ on memory card or device

My question is why would you want them in two places for the same program? If they're only a back up why not just put them on your computer?

I have the program on my device memory but it does not have enough free space for all my map files so I would like to use a memory card as well.
Thanks

Chas, remember this : how-to-f128/using-content-for-multi-igo-navs-t12994.html ?

@shloimy95
The trick is this:
Put the folders you want (DEM, Building, map, POI, ...) on sd
Assuming the device is WINCE, you could even put the whole content folder on sd
(for Android : android-discussion-f174/how-install-igo-primo-android-t16295.html?hilit=secondary)

In sys.txt (and assuming you make a folder called "igo8" first ant put the whole content in it:

[folders]
has_secondary_root=1
content= "your path to sd\igo8\content"

Only certain sub folders on sd need more specification like:

maps="..\..\IGO8\content\map"
dem="..\..\IGO8\content\dem"
buildings="..\..\IGO8\content\building"
poi="..\..\IGO8\content\poi"
voice="..\..\IGO8\content\voice"


hope this helps

tried this but now I can only see content on memory card is there a way in primo to have some content on device and some on memory card at the same time like in Igo8

I have managed to do it with
[folders]
has_secondary_root=1
sdcardpath="\sdmmc\primo2"
