My iGO configuration files (sys.txt) for this device.

After week usage notes:
Full charge from AC adapter about 3 hours.
Battery holds almost 2 hours in low backlight (WOW!).
Screen is very bad on sunny day, even not direct lights in the car. You can use it like a mirror :-) Perfect at the evening/night of course.
Looks huge, not so heavy.
Haven't problems with taps at the corners.
Sound is good, strong enough.
Replaced stock windshield with stronger one (~$10 in local supermarket), stock's looks very weak.
So far no troubles with adapters, all cars fuses are fine :-)

Update (2010/08/22)
Saw similar device (looks exatcly like mine) in Shekem Electric for ~800 NIS as Apex 6062.

New Israel speed cameras update for iGO (August 2010)

The file

Note that all speed limit notifications are set to 90 km/h - may vary on some roads from 70 to 100 km/h.

Missing cameras with following coordinates:
Road 4
N32°06.307',E31°50.940'
N32°25.413',E32°25.348'
Road 2 (Ayalon HW)
N32°32.650',E35°54.997'

And those, which coords are unknown. I will try to check their locations by myself later.

Install instructions (should work on any 8.x version, tested on Primo):
0. Exit iGO (if need).
1. Open your iGo content folder \SDMMC\iGO\CONTENT\SPEEDCAM.
2. Copy file there (choose view raw to download file).
3. Remove any *.spdb and *.spud files, program will create them again on start-up.
4. Run iGO.
5. Check for new cameras between Caesarea and Zihron Yakov on road 2.

UPDATE (2010/08/19)
Sold after a year of usage, here are my thoughts:
- good for start as first device (others from DealExtreme should be ok too)
- last used with iGO 8.3.4.117940 (Nov 3 2009) and iGO Primo 8.5.9.153031 (Jul 22 2010) - like a charm
- never used BlueTooth and FM transmitter once (before I got leased car finally with MP3 CD support)
- car windshield required upgrade - bad silicon quality and overall holder - doable at home
- car cigar lighter power charger burned 3 fuses untill I solved why - bad quality, fixable in a car
- AC adapter required soldering to start work - bad quality, doable at home
- never saw movies on it
- battery is bad, 10 mins max at min backlight - took 4 AA GP rechargeable batteries and made small travel set with USB connector (4x2700 mAh 1.2V batteriess hold iGO for 4-5 hours on min backlight).
- gets very hot on direct sun in a car - probably, nothing to worry
- this device is a good toy for it's price, when you fix all above
- replaced with sku.37914 cause of better CPU, bigger RAM for next level games ;-)
