I received this device from a friend in Spain and did not have any GPS software installed on the card. I realized that the problem is not actually the installation, it installs correctly but the problem is that does not start. Someone told me that would be dedicated to work only with NAVILUX, but I have seen users on various forums that say they iGO works perfectly. It was like someone here on this site wrote that installed iGO and it works perfectly. If you know something about this problem please help me!!!

> In reply to Crys @ 2009-11-05 11:20 from p32xHello Crys. What I can tell you is that I got original card with maps when I bought this phone. In manual (from iGO), it says that (backup reasons) it is neccessery to copy all files from original memory card to hard disc drive. But, when I copied that files (from hdd) to another memory card and put it inside phone I could not start NAVILUX (IGO) software. Maybe you should write to them at: http://www.mynavilux.com/examp..._support.php

I tried to install igo on the device and fail. I copied IGO8 files on the memory card and inserted into the device when it asks me if I want to install i press "yes" and start installing. Loading bar installation until end once and this is it, nothing else. IGO icon appears in programs such as installed but when I start nothing happens. I tried different versions of IGO and all the same problem (i tried with miomaps same problem). I tried these versions of GPS on an Asus P320 and goes perfectly. (here, on Asus P320, are several steps installation not only one)
Does anyone know who would be the problem?
Please help!!!

Well, what can I say. I bought it for a song, half the price of HTC Cruise 09, and it has almost all the functions that I need.
Yah, if you use the phone for five minutes, like wifi, it gets slightly hot. But compared to my Motorola 3Vi, it is not as hot. Just a minor problem with slim phones. The touch screen is a bit less sensitive, so you need to put more pressure with the built in stylus, and you need to be precise as well. Battery life is OK if you are not continuously using 3g. Just imagine, if you were to design a phone that has that many functions, and squeezing it in a slim form like the 810, you will be very lucky to do it right. For Toshiba to make this 'SLIM BEAUTY' work as well as those from HTC and Nokia, they must be highly commended since they have not been a prolific like others. I installed the Garmin map and it worked wonderfully with very fast satellite locking. Maps are quite detailed and for once, GPS does worked as claimed.
I loved the form factor most. Just the right size. Slipping into and out of the pocket gives you a nice feeling, quite unlike those bulky Blackberries. However, the TOS 810 can't handle too many running programs simultaneously, so have unused programs properly closed. Can't blame it as it only has a 400 MHz processor. But then, its battery life is good, even can last 4 days on standby.
Overall, if anyone need a WinMo set on the cheap, this is the set to go for. It has almost everything, and more! Why go for those big branded types that can only go half as far. Get this one before it runs out of stock. You won't regret it!

When you turn on GPS for the first time you need a minute or a few minutes to receive the signal from satellite (be outside, please no obstacles above you toward the sky). This is called "cold" start, because for the first time GPS receiver needs much more time to catch the signal. When you turn off GPS and turn it on after (let`s say) 1 hour, it will catch the signal much more faster (this is called "hot" start). P.S. Do not mind. My English is not too good.

GPS signal can not brake trough walls or similar. It can work near windows (cars, buses...). Also, check in Options is GPS receiver enabled.
