Thanks Bundee, but even with these, I still have the off-road lock-up problem. It's strange, it doesn't lock up when going from a real road to off-road, but it does lock up going the opposite way (off-road -> real road)... It seems to happen with or without a route defined.
If anyone has any idea, I'd love to hear them!
Thanks!
That's exactly what I found today. And that explained why I did not notice this serious problem before.
To reproduce this problem, just find a big parking lot and start iGO from there. If iGO 8 shows you are not on any road (even if you select the option "Keep position on road"), then you can drive or walk towards to a road. You will see the lock up.
However, if you start from (or near) a real road, then drive to the same parking lot, then leave, you will not experience the problem.
I wish it's just a data.zip problem. But I am afraid it is not. I was so frustrated in last two days and I am ready to switch to another navigation software. At least now we know we can start iGO on or near a road to avoid this problem.
