Re: Uniden GNS8350

I run a gns8350 with igo8. Huge improvement. The GNS8350 is just a wince 4.2 device that will run a PNA version of igo.

start here You will need a different wince explorer as the one they recommend didn't work for me.

Install igo8 on a blank SD card

I had previously posted instructions on how to set this up on this site but it appears to have been deleted.

Here's a copy of my SD card. It should work out of the box but needs maps, voices etc.

It also has a mortscript file that will redirect mobilenavigator.exe to the igo8.exe file on the sd card.

Re: Uniden GNS8350

I just used the sensis maps.

Also worth putting this on

BTW -- GPS is channel 5 and 9600 baud. This needs to be set in the igo8 gps settings

Re: Uniden GNS8350

What does it do?

Re: Uniden GNS8350

Not sure I'm afraid. tts works for me using the modified config files I included. You could always try a new install of IGO8. Mortscript will redirect to the igo8 folder.

Re: Uniden GNS8350

I'm about to try this on a GSN8361 (New Zealand market model) - will post how i get on -

Uniden Au/NZ seem to have stopped any support, and don't care about their customers
