Just a friendly advice: Limit the number of POIs in Igo Amigo.
Chinese made units or the system will hang and slows down in all cases.

Thanks for that! Also, it seems some exe files from Igo8 can handle them better than others...I have to look it up if someone needs to know which one works.
Also, it seems to help to limit the textfiles in the speedcamera folder (you can use KLM files in userdata instead.
It also helped a lot once I installed a 8MB micro card (if your unit can support it)

Kind Regards

Hi.

The number of POI files for iGO will definitely slow down your startup speed in iGO8. If the system hangs, I have found that you need to remove the POI's from the default directory (don't remove but move them to another folder temporarily) and re-start iGO8 (which should be much quicker). Once all is operational you can exit iGO8, restore the POI files to the default directory and re-start iGO8 (will be slower if there are many maps or POI files) which should now be operational with the POI files.
