Primo in tunnels   

Primo in tunnels

Postby nabi » Thu Nov 25, 2010 9:59 pm

It seems Primo has a strange problem: when a route set, when entering a tunnel, Primo crashes and the GPS device restarts.
Especially Chinese WinCE 5.0 and 6.0 devices, with original 480x272 data.zip, with modified 320x240 and 400x240 data.zip, all are suffering. So all data.zip files are involved.

I can not confirm this because I have no Chinese device. Also, when road testing Primo, I did not pass a tunnel yet. I never even taken Primo on longer trips. But I guess the behavior of crashing in a tunnel may look familiar to some of you.

What to do and can it be solved?
Well, I hope. I got this tip: put in the sys.txt

[navigation]
use_duration_for_tunnel=1
stop_at_tunnel_end=1

[feature]
tunnel_guidance=0


I hope someone can confirm it helps.

Like Captain Picard would say on Startrek - "make it so!"

With Chinese Din? Looking at your signature, it could be device related. Also the distance (length of the tunnel).
And hey,I know the road to my work without needing Primo ;)
