Hello, I was trying to find right topic, I did find one but it did not make sense to me so I am asking here. I have sat nav Rac 1100 (gogo902) which is running Windows CE 5.0 I want to upgrade that as the system I have one is terrible and maps are only for UK to upgrade maps it cost 10 euro for town which is ridiculous!! Could someone give me a hand and direct me what steps do I have to make to put iGO on my system? Or maybe iGo Primo which I have already dowloaded or Tom Tom what would be the best? Now to my sat nav.
WinCE System North America (USA + Canada) GPS Navigation Map Card for Indash Car DVD Player GPS Navigation Stereo Radio. 2.8 out of 5 stars. With IGO, it shows all roads, streets, with names, the way a gps system should. USD 82.99 Free Shipping, Wholesale Price, GPS Navigation Device IGO Map 4.3 Inch WIN CE 5.0 Bluetooth 6 inch Rearview Mirror Navigation - Europe Map.
As I said it has Windows CE 5.0 and the UK map and the system is on the memory in the sat nav I have bought memory card for the new system and maps. 4292 The picture shows what is on my sat van and I can provide more pictures for the quick and efficient response.
Thank you very much and I do apologize if I have topic in the wrong section but if it comes to sat navs I am green and didin't know where to put it. Offline Joined: Wed May 30, 2012 9:52 pm Posts: 5 Has thanked: 0 time Been thanked: 0 time. Hi, and welcome to Navitotal.
That device is fairly easy to 'upgrade' to different navigation software (what is it running now.Route66?). First, get the program you want from here: For Primo, I would recommend Primo2 from 'me', or for iGo 8.3x from Fatboyfun or Chas521.
Whether iGo 8 or Primo may depend on how much operating memory (RAM) the device has. If it is 128MB you can run just about whatever you like. If it is 64MB, iGo8.3x might be a better choice (Primo will run on 64MB, but more is needed for all optional functions to run well). Then get whatever maps you need from here: Put the Program with Maps on your SD Card. On your computer, create a new text document with Notepad, and put only a line such as this in it: SDMMC color='#FF0000'iGO8/color color='#008000'iGO8.exe/color color='#FF0000'This/color should be the name of the program folder (could be iGo8, Primo2, etc).
color='#008000'This/color should be the name of the main.EXE file in that folder (could be iGo.exe, Primo2.exe, etc) Save your text document as shell.ini. Be sure you are viewing extensions in your File Explorer and take care that it does not get named with a double extension such as shell.txt.ini or shell.ini.txt. Copy your new shell.ini to the root of ResidentFlash on your device.
Insert your SD Card, reboot the device, and it should load your new program from the SD Card. Follow along with initial setup of the program. Any more questions, ask here. Hello, Yes it is working on route 66 But I have a problem: I have downloaded the Primo 2 from this post - I copied the content to the sd card with all the maps I wanted then I created shell.ini notepad file and paste it in the ResidentFlash folder on the device, I rebooted it but nothing happened.
It looks like sat nav is still using flash memory to run. Have you got any ideas why is this not working for me?

I also read somewhere (can't remember where.it's been a while) that Route66 can be a bit persistent in some cases and must be exited before anything else can run. Or it gets kinda 'stuck'. If so, start the system up and within Route66, exit the software. If you see no way to exit, you may have to look for a file called device.ini, move it to your PC, open with notepad, look for the line NoExitOnMapScreen=1, and change the 1 to a 0 (zero).
Save the file, then copy it back to the device in the same location, restart the device, and should now see an Exit button in Route66. If all else fails (including what Fatboyfun suggested), there is another way.totally replace or delete the Route66 program on the internal storage (ResidentFlash).but try other things first. Hello, First of all I would like to apologize for a late reply.
Let's back to the hard and boring bit Below is the picture of what I have copied to the SD card: 4300 and my Shell.inni had inside this: SDMMC Primo2 Primo2.exe Now is the question, should I copy content of Primo2 folder to SD card or should I copy the folder Primo2 to SD card? I hope that you know what I mean. Yurbuh Tuggly - Tried what you said aboud changing the NoExitOnMapScreen=1to a 0 but it didn't work.
Still have same OS and starts exactly the same Thing which Fatboyfun suggested is hard to understand for me as I don't have R66Navigate.exe on my Device. Question, Should I look for that.exe everywhere in the Device including the Windows folder or just in ResidentailFlash? The only.exe files which I have in my ResidentialFlash are (name on bold and rest is their location): - Computer WindowsCE ResidentFlash Data.TravelPlayer LOADER - Computer WindowsCE ResidentFlash MobileNavigator MobileNavigator - Computer WindowsCE ResidentFlash poweroff These are the only.exe files I have.
Thank you for your help and your time. Regards, KRis offline Joined: Wed May 30, 2012 9:52 pm Posts: 5 Has thanked: 0 time Been thanked: 0 time.
Copy the folder Primo2 to SD card - Thats waht I did. I didin't get any 'Exit' button. OS just load as normal.
But there was an interesting change of direction. Hello, EUREKA!!! OK This is what I did: - I have changed name of my Primo2 folder on my SD card to MobileNavigator and gave same name to the Primo2.exe so it became MobileNavigator.exe - I changed content of Shell.inni to SDMMC MobileNavigator MobileNavigator.exe I tried same method with Primo and Primo2. As I said the screen was turning off but sat nav was still working then I realised, when I plugged the sat nav to PC when screen showed with Primo but it couldn't find any satellites. It looks like Primo needed to be plugged to a power source all the time if not the screen would switch off.

So I tried with Primo2 then Primo and again with Primo2 and now everything is working fine. It is a strange as before it wouldn't work now it got signal in the house on Primo2 in 10min and it doesn't have to be plugged to any power source. Works like charm:):) I must say very big thank you for you guys as you helped me and were guiding me through all this hard and confusing process:) Now as I would love to get more knowledge about different sat navs, programs,systems to imnprove my knowledge and help others where should I start?
