Free Igo 8 Gps Navigation Software



The iGO Navigation app requires less storage space than other offline navigation apps, so you can save your storage for more important things like photos, videos, and music. The saved storage space means that you can take as many selfies and time lapse videos as your heart desires!


I should point out here that the test device was a T-Mobile MDA Compact III (aka O2 XDA Orbit / HTC Artemis) with a 201Mhz CPU, 64mb RAM and running the official T-Mobile WM6 ROM. The internal GPS receiver was used throughout. I was testing a standard retail version of the software albeit with a VIP license that does not allow for updates and does not include the Content Manager software.


Warnings Audible and/or visual warnings can be set for when speeding (according to the data stored in the map) and you can set a percentage of the limit at which you get warned in both built-up areas and elsewhere. The visual warning shows the speed limit in a red circle on the bottom left of the screen and is shown constantly while you are over the limit. The audible warning simply states 'You are over the speed limit' and only sounds once until you drop below and then back over the limit. The speed camera warnings have options for audible warning ('off', 'while approaching' or 'only when speeding') and visible warning. Like most navigation software, iGO 8 has a safety mode whereby if this is activated you cannot operate the touch screen while driving. The final option is 'warn if too fast for a pedestrian'. If you have had it set as 'Pedestrian' then start to drive 'fast' it will ask if you want to change to 'Car' mode so that you will not be routed the wrong way down one-way streets or down unpaved roads etc. I like this touch, as I fell foul of this after using pedestrian mode in CoPilot Live 7 then wondering why I was being taken on silly routes with ridiculously long journey times!


As you approach a roundabout the view pans to a static, overhead view so you can easily see your position on the roundabout as well as where you should be turning off. This is a really useful feature although if you have manually edited your zoom / tilt levels then these will be 'lost' and the software will revert back to the default zoom levels. I would have thought this could be 'hacked' by editing the sys.txt file (i.e. by adjusting the values for the default views) but it isn't something I have looked into. In practise it is usually a case of pressing the GPS key (Button 1) to tilt the view back down again.


There were no major problems with the routing other than the occasional 'why?' moment but I put this down to the map data as the turn restrictions are not all that accurate around my area. Also, I have yet to use a navigation device that gives the 'perfect route'.


At the end of the review are some links to trips that I recorded; one in the car, one on train and one on foot. You can adjust the logging in increments of one second right up to thirty seconds between data points. Trips can then be played back in iGO 8 (either with or without being locked to the road) or they can be exported as a GPX file for use in other software / web sites.
