Question for those using iGo Primo: Does it give you POI search result with direction arrows?

I'm using iGo8 and it doesn't, just a hard list and that annoys me because my handheld Garmin uses arrows and it's so handy:

Example:

So if Primo does that then I'll consider upgrading....

Is yours a 2nd gen, David from carlighttrends.com told me when I got mine that the unit has a 1year warranty. Since the card reader has gone bad, you should be able to exchange it for a new one.

Hi everybody! I'am a happpy owner of es350 2008y. Bought it couple days before. And it has flyaudio e8041 allready installed. I readed all this forum. And I think my flyaidio is 2gen. And now I have all problems discussed there.
1. Climat - Celsius temp, works with a lot of mistakes,
2. Radio fm shows around 80 MHz, but really plays frequencys from 100-...
3. Wheel buttons do not work with iPod and MP3. Only volume works.
So now I have next ideas:
1. Bios upgrade.
2. Check all wires to fix buttons.
3. Change yellow wire place.
So please help, is my plan wrong or right? Can it helps me?

Sorry for bad English...

I don't know about ES350 systems but the yellow wire fix is only if your AM radio doesn't work or is very faint. If your AM radio is fine then no need to do that.

The climate and FM radio display issues should be fixed by software, assuming Flyaudio has one released for your generation unit.

In the amount of responses after this question, I saw nothing but the incorrect answer. I have a second generation unit and it WILL play AVI files (no MP4 for some reason) from a USB drive. The drive must be FAT32. Just go to the DVD section, select USB mode, then click on "Folder" and find the folder that contains the videos. Once there, click on "File" and it should display the videos.

One other note, I have iGo Primo 2 working with 3D terrain and buildings. The movement is comparable (in "smoothness") to a Garmin 3700 series.

Do you have a 1st generation or 2nd generation? My understanding is that Primo 1.2 / 2 only work well with 128MB RAM solutions. The 1st generation is 64MB. Primo 2 has the arrows and distances just like the Garmin.

Mhmm! How about them apples. I finally got USB videos to work.... I used to have the Gen 1 and the Gen 2 uses a much different interface and is very unintuitive. I followed your procedure, though after you click the file name (it starts playing audio only at first, this is where I stopped before thinking that's it, no more usb video)... BUT then you have to press "back" on the top right corner to the DVD main screen and press "Image" to get the video to show on screen. Sunuvabeech... SMH. Thanks pollvx!

Mine's the Gen 2. Would you mind terribly to take a camera shot of the POI list screen with the arrows? Not that I don't believe you but I just want to make sure it shows the right amount of info I'm looking for. Thanks again!
