Is there a tutorial on getting voices going in primo? For the life of me I can't get them going no matter what I am doing. I;ve got a generic Chinese radio in there with CE and IGO8 works just fine.

What voices are you talking about? TTS? Non-TTS?
What version of Primo are you talking about and where did you get it from?
Do you get any sound at all?

See here:
When-you-want-help......

My bad.
I'm running a windows CE 5 device, it's a generic reference unit I got from China.
I get the clicks when I hit a button. The version is the Priom2.0 torrent from here. I'm attempting to get the TTS voices going. So far no luck.

If it's this one:
-iGo-Primo-2.0-Build-9.6.5.211211-Torrent-TBM
And you downloaded all the required components, everything you need for TTS-Pro is included and should work...as long as you put all the files/folders in the correct places.
See here for more detailed instructions (under the Installation Instructions: section):
iGO-Primo-2.0-Nuance-TTS-Pro-Voices-Torrent
Of course, this is assuming that your device exceeds the minimum requirements of 64MB Ram---running TTS on a device with less than 128MB Ram can be iffy.

Aha. Thanks. I got it. Now, if I could just get it to see the maps in the igo directory I'm golden.

Do you mean to share the content between two different installs?

If so, there are a few different ways to accomplish this..some report better results using relative paths, and some with absolute paths. And some say it does not matter.:-)
You may have to try both to see what works best on your device.
Copy sys.txt from your Primo install to your computer to work on it (and keep an unmodified copy as backup).
Open sys.txt in notepad and add the following [folders] 'section':

Code: Select all

[folders]
maps="..\..\[color="#FF0000"]iGO8[/color]\content\map"
poi="..\..\[color="#FF0000"]iGO8[/color]\content\poi"
buildings="..\..\[color="#FF0000"]iGO8[/color]\content\building"
dem="..\..\[color="#FF0000"]iGO8[/color]\content\dem"
has_secondary_root=0

[color="#FF0000"]This[/color] should be the exact name of your iGo8 folder..whatever that may be.
If it turns out that your device prefers absolute paths, modify each line to be more like this:

Code: Select all

maps="\[color="#000080"]Storage Card[/color]\iGO8\Content\map\"

[color="#000080"]This[/color] must be the exact name of your SD Card..could be any of a number of things depending on your exact device.
Note that not EVERYTHING can be shared between iGo8 and Primo (voices, languages and similar are examples). But map related content should be no problem.

You may find, if using relative paths, a that only one set of this is needed:
../
SO the line might be:

Code: Select all

maps="../iGO8/content/map"

Save sys.txt after editing, copy back to the root of your Primo install folder (rename existing sys.txt to sys.oldtxt or something) and see if it works.
