There never was really, as it turned out the version of Igo loaded onto the units by the Chinese factory was of "questionable heritage".


However there are several GPS forums on the net that have links to the files needed to download and create your own updated SD card - but this is very much a grey area with respect to legitimacy as well.
Incidentally, turns out that the update SD cards Radioguy was provided were created by him using said forums and downloads...

I did go online and find the free IGO download but I'm not savvy enough to download it and then transfer to SD.

Sorry - I have filled your inbox. Could you clear it I have an urgent link to get across to you..


[Edit] I have us some new 2021 maps, to suit Igo Primo and for the entire world. I have several times tried to message you with a link to the maps, but your inbox is overflowing. If you email me direct, by right clicking on my name at the left, I will send you the links to the map downloads.


Likewise, anyone else who might need map updates..


I have just updated mine and as near as I can tell, it is all working and working much faster than before. Rather than what I had before, all of the detailed maps, I just put in the detailed UK maps and general Western Europe ones. Here is how....


Start by copying the entire contents of your existing Igo Primo memory card, to another spare memory card, then put the original one in a safe place. You will need to do the copy via a folder you set up on your PC. Only modify your spare card, so have a known to be working copy of Igo Primo if the worst happens and you get it wrong.


Now explore folder contents of you spare card. Click on Primo2, content - where you should find a long list of sub-folders.



Delete the entire contents of the following folders building + map + phoneme + poi + speedcam


You then copy the same named copies of folders, found in the new maps folder. The maps folder shouldn't end up with any sub-folders, only files. The Western Europe general map, only contains files which need to be placed in the map folder alone.
