IGO 8.3.2.71348

Recently, I wanted to upgrade the navigation software on my mio 169.
I used to use designator 2006, but it I found that iGO 8 is much better.
How?
- Go to this website and follow the instructions, since it doesn't explain what exactly should be done, I'll try to explain:
1. Extract the main package on your PC.
2. Replace IGO.exe by the one inside this zip file. (ver 8.3.2.71348)
3. Download this file, extract, rename from data_9c.zip to data.zip, and replace the original file in the main directory.
4. Download this file, extract, rename from uspoi_branding.zip to branding.zip, and replace the original file in the main directory.
5. For US terrain, download these files Master- Part1 - Part2 - Part3 - Part4, copy them to a temporary directory, extract the files Part1-4, and then run the master file, if your extractor throws and error, try using this ZipGenius (free).
6. A file named NA_usa.dem will be created, copy it to igo8/contecnt/dem
7. For maps and POIs, for example California, do the following:
7.1 download the map from here, extract, and copy the fbl file to
igo8/contecnt/map
7.2 download the poi from here, extract, and copy the poi file to igo8/contecnt/poi
8. You are ready! copy the IGO directory to your mio, and launch from the mio.
[9]. for Text-To-Speech (TTS) feature, download this file, then simply copy the complete content inside the zip file to your \iGo8 folder and overwrite any files it asks you to. Then start up iGo8, go to Settings->Regional->Voice Language and select the TTS voice. If you did everything correctly, you should hear "Have a nice trip, drive carefully."

Tip:
- If your mio is slow, you may see an error message saying that there is no enough memory, I suggest to work in 2D mode because 3D mode require a lot of memory.
