In order to make iGO8 work on the HD2 resolution you need to have 2 things: the data.zip that contains the required resolution and a good SYS.TXT file.
I cannot provide the data.zip file but i can give you the working SYS.TXT content.

1. Connect the phone to the PC (doesn't matter what method, active sync or mass storage).
2. Open the file explorer on the PC and navigate to the iGO8 folder on the phone.
3. Copy the SYS.TXT file to the pc.
4. Open the SYS.TXT on the PC and replace the content with the provided content in this post.
5. Save the file.
6. Copy the SYS.TXT from the PC to the phone overwriting the file.
7. Unplug the cable.
8. Start using iGO8.

NOTE: Be careful when replacing the content. The path, found in the [folders] category of the sys.txt file, needs to be the valid path. In this example i use the SDCARD/iGO8 path. Make sure that path is right for your device.

Technically Yes, When i restart the phone and launch igo the initial screen pops up and goes away. checked the task manager and the program does not show up.. but if i try and launch the program again it gives that message.(saying that an instance is already launched).
The same cycle continues when i restart the phone..

Ah, so it is running, except something went wrong and it went away. Probably these settings aren't good in your case. What version of iGO do you have?

Some input about my experience. I have iGO8 8.3.4. 117940

Remove all old/other iGO versions from your HD2, including the 2577 directory (or at least rename the autorun.exe).

Move the whole iGO8 directory to your HD2 (to card).

sys.txt : (yes, that is all, just 6 lines)
Code:
[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"

[interface]
maxzoom2d=6000000
show_exit=1

Lines to add in iGO8/save/system.ini
Code:
[rawdisplay]
class="portrait"
autoconfig="1"
driver="gdi"
highres="0"

This will correct an portrait/landscape error)

Now you need to start iGO.exe manually from file explorer. It should run now.

To make an icon into the start folder you have to make a shortcut and put that into:

/windows/start menu/programs/

(while doing that I also removed the 'uninstall iGO' file)

Hi there,

iGo is working great on my HD2. I just copied it all over from my last phone and started the .exe file. It almost immediately worked and I certainly do not have an extensive sys file like mentioned above. The size of the screen is absolutely great and with the holder in the car it is a pleasure to use. I have got maps for all of Western Europe (I travel for work from time to time from the UK into Europe) and for Israel. It is one of the best programs I have got on my phone.

My advice is to use a skin to improve the lay out of the screen, have a look on the internet for several ones. You must however choose one for the resolution 480x800 !

Bye,
Itamar

the response, u deserve above, in ur own words - easier translation - go look for it yourself - for some reason i get the idea is you want to get all your requests, but do not want to give back or share.  i was out searching on the web for you until i read the snide response in your other thread, so go take ur snoopy little tail..   and u know what to do with it   Lips sealed    u need alot more than igo8.....  Kiss
