When installing latest mobile on Navigon 8410, I get following error

SkyDemon.exe

Select Quit & then restart this programme or select Details for more information

Can't find an Entry Point 'SipGetInfo' in a Pinvoke DLL 'Core.dll'

Will try reloading previous version

Otherwise any help much appreciated. If I click on Details nothing happens.

Going back to 1.4 (removing 1.4.2 from PC, delete all files from SD directory on card, install SD mobile from desktop, sync card via SD PC, put card in Navigon & then boot up), works fine still.

I hit this problem too, David. I think Tim's onto it.



(It's because the 8410 lacks a software keyboard which is supposedly 'core' functionality.)

Suspect its to do with the excellent Direct To enhancement that we will not have on 8410!!!

D

We added a "helpful" bit of code on startup which moves the onscreen keyboard out of the way of the SkyDemon main window buttons, to save the user doing this later on. We failed to anticipate the lack of these functions on some devices (Microsoft advises that they are there on all the platforms we support) hence the crash.

We'll push out an update sometime over the next couple of days that silently ignores this and carries on.

Update: We've now refreshed the current public 1.4.2 build to include a fix for this. We didn't bother changing the version number.

Fantastic. Tx. Will give it a go - silence means it has worked fine.

Still nogo with Navigon. Hangs on startup and no way to get around xpt delete and reload previous 1.4 version. Alos it produces some files on the card that are "corrupt" and cannot be deleted. Have created a folder called "xxx" and moved these files there (in case you want to know more about them).

Eventually, will have to reformat card and reload from scratch.

D

By all means give us the names of some of these files. With the exception of routes, logs and terrain bitmaps, SkyDemon does not create files.

I think others using the Navigon confirmed success with the republished 1.4.2 build, so this might be something else you're running into.

Tim

Can you tell me who else has Navigon 8410 working with 1.4.2? JSNR has not yet updated his.

Mine still hanging on startup  .. keyboard fix did not work.

D

Now that I look for those other people, I cannot find them

The problem you are now describing is not the original problem you posted about. You seem to be describing a hang now, whereas before there was an exception caused by the device not having software keyboard APIs that it reasonably should have. Can you give a more detailed explanation of the "new" problem (using a current 1.4.2 download), does the software get to the welcome screen, etc.

Thanks.

Tim

You are right  .. its a "new" problem.

I downloaded 1.4.2 again, gave file a new name, deleted SD from PC, installed 1.4.2, installed on Mobile as an Upgrade.

I then fired up Navigon (after reset). It ran SD OK until I got a GPS fix  .. then everything freezes. Menu buttons all stop working.

I can reset and get back to same place but still hangs.

GPS settings are for auto Microsoft driver (or some such). Will try setting to manual and see what happens.

D

Tried manual driver settings and cd not get any to work. Initially was set to Com4  .. no satellites seen at all (wrong port). Then Chose Com1.. again no go and same for Com2. But when Com7 selected, it freezes  as before(cd be same or difft problem).

Then tried navigon Car GPS programme and all works fine.

Going back to 1.4.0 for now on 8410 but 1.4.2 on PC and on Mio v735. Am assuming routes etc will all work OK with this combination.

Will await further suggestions.

David

Reformatted SD card. Copied backup 1.4.0 to the card.

All working fine now even after GPS fix.

D

I'll have to run through it but I don't think we changed anything in the GPS code between the two releases. Most strange.

I think Pete Ford & Pete Fell also have 8410.

Message to the 2 Pete's  .. have you got 1.4.2 working on 8410?  .. or do you have same problem as me?

Will also send email.

David

Found that one of the Pete's had got 1.4.2 working.

So I did as follows:

1. Updated Navigon Fresh
2. Reformatted card
3. Installed the other files needed (Mio Pocket etc)
4. Installed Skydemon 1.4.2 from scratch
5. Synced with PC

All worked OK.

BUT  .. no idea which was the critical step!!

Cheers

I've now upgraded to the new 1.4.2 and everything just worked.

Simultaneously good news and irritating. Having no control over the hardware is quite a disadvantage for us in this case. Glad you got it working.
