I get many questions from members who want to be able to use single program content for other iGO programs so that they can save space. Here are the sys.txt entries to make to accomplish that. You want to put those entries in the other iGO programs. Notice that the content in this example is situated in the iGO8 program. Igo8 uses Loquendo voices so you would delete that bold entry to use in Primo ...

Here again my installer, this time with the 9.510 NC.
Included in the installer are the following versions:
1. just the patched CAB - for all of you that just want the new Navcore on a compatible device - no emulations offered!
2. for GO models with 64mb of Ram - all GO emulations included
3. for 32mb devices - can't promise the memory boost will work as expected since TT used a new kernel ...

Even though we provide the tutorials and map charts it seems to be hard for noobs to determine what to choose.
I will now try to explain the right way:

1. The best Navcore is always what Home offers as latest official update!
All other Navcores can work but there are no guarantees!
2. We always provide the latest maps in our red stickies, so instead of asking simply check the dates of the postings ...

9.500 SE Version w/pre-patched TT Home file Courtesy of tonyzeta

I created another installer, this time for the above Navcore.
Even though some might complain about the big download, I say it is easier to have all versions at hand.
If the selected version does not work for you select a different one from the installer.

Special note:
So far there is no evidence that this Navcore will offer new features compared to the 9.4xx versions.
A new kernel is used as this Navcore is ...

Although TT claims this feature is only available for the new models and the X40 series I noticed that you can change the Home icon for basically any V9 Navcore.
Here is the how to:
Create a BMP file of 32x32 pixels with a red background (the red will be transparent in the map view) and 24bit color depth.
Save the file as "althome.bmp" in the folder "skins" - if the folder does not exist ...

We all found postings like:
"I'm a delivery guy and need to find the best route on my TT or Garmin"


At least for the high end models Garmin offers such features now but for us, the poor normal guys it is hard to impossible.
For a while I experimented with spread sheets and Google maps to get the optimisation over the coordinates, but as you guess the crow does not fly like you drive ...

Lately there are more and more postings with a question about the same problem...
The new 9.4xx Navcore (and some older V9 as well) will cause many XL models to go silent when computer voices are used,
a few won't even play recoreded voices anymore.
There is a very simply check that you should perform if you think you are affected:
Make a full backup using the Windows Explorer (safety first! ...
