Checking map version?

Hello,

I have bought a car monitor with IGO Primo installed and a map over Europe. The person I bought it from told the map is from 2016, but is there a way I can check whether this is true or not?

Thank you.

It says 2016 Q1.

I just have another question if it is okay. In the setting I see that is is possible to activate 3D buildings and I did that. However I don't think it works. I don't see any buildings, only flat map. Is that normal am I doing something wrong?

So from the first quarter of 2016. 3D buildings are mainly in the bigger city,s.
And you must have them in the folder content\buildings

Will it be possible to get a newer version if it has been released?

Yes you change the old files for the new ones.

Use uTorrent. Google for it.

Is that only for TomTom devices?

No for Igo and Igo Primo.

I have now downloaded it and this is what I have got. The folder on the left is the new I just downloaded and the folder on the right is the old files in the content folder.

Do I just copy everything in the new folder and put them in the old? Even though there are folders/files in the old that are not in the new and folders/files in the new that are not in the old?

And the new files should go into the content folder, right?

If you open the fbl folder then you see the country files. Those fbl files you can replace with the fbl files in the folder content\map.

where to put map related files in iGO/Primo ?

--> the directory *\content\building\
3dl/3dc --> 3D view Landmarks/Building
petrol.3dl - 3D view of Petrol stations

--> the directory *\content\dem\
dem --> Landscape view

--> the directory *\content\histspeed\
hsp --> Smart route, allows to avoid traffic on certain hours => only Becker Primo and recent Primo,
about same function as fsp (go in map folder)

--> the directory *\content\map\
fbl --> Maps
fda --> Driver Alerts (Primo only)
fjv --> junction views
fjw --> newer version of fjv (Primo only)
fpa --> Adress points (house numbers) (Primo only)
fsp --> Smart route (about same as hsp files that go in histspeed folder) historical traffic data in relation to
time and day of the week. Therefor the route calculation may differ depending on the time of day (to avoid daily traffic jams) (Primo only)
ftr --> Truck Info
hnr --> predefined calculated routing for 'short', 'fast', 'easy', 'economical' (Primo only)


-->\content\userdata\poi\
kml --> Custom POI


-->\content\userdata\usericon\
bmp - Custom POI icons


Secret tip : To use hnr one needs the complete mapset unless in sys.txt:

[Route]
hnr_ignored_missing_country_ids=*



--> the directory *\content\phoneme\
phr/ph --> Pronouncing local names (for TTS) (phonetical files)

--> the directory *\content\poi\
poi --> Points of Interest

--> the directory *\content\speedcam\
txt --> Speedcams
spc --> Speedcams (Primo only)

--> the directory *\content\userdata\poi\
kml --> Custom Points of Interest


PLEASE NOTE that "TeleAtlas" changed its name to "TomTom" and you should pay attention that the TomTom maps you want
to download are maps for iGO!!


Be aware that Navteq files and TomTom/Teleatlas files (or any other mapping files) should NOT be intermingled into the same folder(s).
If you want to use more than one type of map, you must configure a MapChanger Utility.
Also be aware that map files and associated 'extra' files (FDA, HNR, etc) must all be of the same release/date in order to work together.


On the other hand, POI files don't have this restrictions. You will end up with double POI's on the map. That is all.
Another remark : Teleatlas (before the name change) offered "normal" and Premium POI. Use either. TomTom (new name for TeleAtlas)
only offers Premium POI, only you won't notice by file name.
Navteq has 'normal' and "Extended" POI. You need either 'normal' POI files or 'normal' and "Extended" POI files (thus both)

Keep the folders on the right, empty them (back up for safety) and replace the files in the folders with the files in the folders on the left as described in
maps-buildings-dem-poi-f82/where-put-map-related-files-igo-primo-t11326.html

Okay sooo....

1. The fbl, fpa, fsp, ftr and hnr files must replace the old files in this folder: content\map - Is this correct?
- But I have no fjv, fda and fjw files in the new update that I downloaded, so what do I do here? Also what do I do with my old fjv, fda and fjw files in my old content\map folder?

2. The poi files must replace the old files in my old content\POI folder - is the correct?

3. The files in the PHONEME folder must replace the files in my old content\phoneme folder - is this correct?

4. The files in the 3dl folder must replace my old files in my old content\building folder - is this correct?

5. What about the license folder? Do I delete the files in my old license folder and put the 1 file in the new license folder in my old license folder?
The license file is called "Mega_Free_1_Year_Update_FEU_TA_2016_Q1". Does this mean that I can only use it for 1 year?

6. Is there anything else I need to do?

......

Did you do 1 - 5 and it worked?

No, I did not do it yet. I want to be sure that it is the correct way?
