Got a 5" Chinese GPS which works a treat for the road. Boots up with Media Tek on the screen and the nav programme it called Navi and the programme it uses is called iGO8.exe.
Evaluating Skydemon on my PC (looks fantastic by the way) and tried getting it working on the GPS, but having gone through the process (and I've read the Alert thread carefully) at the end of it I just get a dialogue box on the GPS which says 'Please set GPS path first OK' .
This is what I have done to get to that stage, can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong.
On the PC, with the trial version of SkyDemon running:
Tools
Instal SkyDemon Mobile
Instal SkyDemon Mobile to a new device
Instal via a secure Data card
Delet SkyDemon folder so it goes straight to F:/
Tick UK charts
OK
On the SD card
Copy the Skydemon.exe file
Rename the copy 'FreedomCE.exe'
Stick SD card into Chinese GPS and turn on device
Media Tek title appears on screen
Screen turns to 4x3 icons and nav bar on LHS (Navi, Music, Desk)
Click on Navi and get the dialogue box mentioned above!
My PC sees the GPS as a drive and reads the files on the card in the unit, nothing else. Take the card out and the drive shows zero files.
I'm pretty Cr*p with computers, if one of the more PC literate forumites could tell me where I'm going wrong, it would be much appreciated - thanks.
