The maps (extension .fbl) go into /content/map folder
Files with extension .POI in /content/POI
Files with extension .3dc and .3dl in /content/building
And so on:

StorageCard\igo8\content\building\
Your 3D building files go in this folder files ending in .3dc (3D building) and .3dl (3d Landmark)
StorageCard\igo8\content\dem\
Your terrain files go in here (.dem)
StorageCard\igo8\content\lang\
Language files go in here, these are for the text in the menus, not the voices. All files end in .zip and usually begin with Lang_filename.
StorageCard\igo8\content\map\
Your map files go in here, files have the .fbl extension, make sure you have iGo 2008 files not miomap 3.3 which have the poi's integrated in the files and won't work.
StorageCard\igo8\content\phoneme\
Phoneme files go here, they are used by TTS to improve pronunciation, files end in a .ph extension.
StorageCard\igo8\content\poi\
POI files go in here, these are what allow you to find Points of interest, without these you can't look for anything except addresses. Files contain the .poi extension.
StorageCard\igo8\content\scheme\
These files are what determine the colors of the roads and terrain in the map. Files are all .zip files.
StorageCard\igo8\content\skin
Skins to determine the look of the program. All files in this folder are .zip files.
StorageCard\igo8\content\speedcam\
Speedcam files go in here. I have one file in here SpeedcamUpdates.spud, others can chime in on what other types of files besides .spud files work.
StorageCard\igo8\content\texture\
This folder contains the arrows and stuff that appear on the map, like the moving right arrow for right turns. All files are .tex.
StorageCard\igo8\content\userdata
Where iGo stores all sorts of user data like saved routes etc.
StorageCard\igo8\content\voice\
Voice files go in here, both TTS and non-TTS. All files are zips, though TTS requires extra dll's to make it work.
Primo has the same file structure.
When you press the navigation button, a script starts. Was there a navigation program on the original sd? Then take a closer look and search the executable. Then reorganize your file structure the same way and use the same names for folders and exe file.
Example:
When the original executable was called MobileNavigator.exe and placed in a folder called MobileNavigator, thus the path the script uses would be /StorageCard/MobileNavigator/MobileNavigator.exe or likewise.
The way your program is organized would look like /StorageCard/iGO/iGO.exe
So you simply fool the script by renaming the iGO or Primo folder to MobileNavigator and the iGO.exe file to MobileNavigator.exe
(same spelling and capitals as the original!!)
