Well this is our 2nd post about iDevices (iPod, iPhone etc) and this mainly targets iPhone 4 (maybe iPod) with 4.3+ iOS. My other post about Sygic Mobile Maps with Cyprus Maps had huge success with many positive feedback and after many requests for a tutorial concerning iPhone and Cyprus maps i decided to write one.

Well, all of you out there searching for Cyprus maps here is the solution to your problem. JUST switch to an Android smartphone and use our guide here to install a GPS Navigation system.

I AM JUST KIDDING :P

Below you will find an extremely easy way to install iGO Primo World on your iPhone and use it as a GPS system. It comes with Cyprus and Greece maps but i will upload maps on request since they are many countries with BIG files so i can’t upload all of them.

.: Procedure :.

  1. Please read our tutorial about transferring files from your PC to system folders inside iPhone here
  2. Once you know how to transfer a file to a specific directory inside your iPhone you are good to follow the remaining tutorial
  3. Download the App from here: iGO Primo World for iPhone (CYP & GRC)
  4. Follow the tutorial in step 1 to transfer the file you download above in your iPhone and install it (this is an .ipa file)
    • If you have your own way accessing files on your iPhone the directory you need to transfer the file is: 
      /var/mobile/Documents/Installous/Downloads
  5. The most important step on the tutorial above is step 10 where you Install the application. Please follow it exactly as written (if you do not know what you are doing) in order to avoid problems
  6. Now i assume you managed to install the application. Press the Home button and launch iGO to verify that it’s working
  7. You should be able to choose between the maps of Cyprus and Greece since i integrated them into the .ipa file
  8. If everything above went ok then you have your iPhone set up and ready to use as a GPS navigation system whenever you want.

Add Additional Maps

If you would like to add additional maps to your iGO the steps are not too many but require some work. Also i cannot upload the whole Europe cause of its size so please request the maps you would like in comments section and i will respond as soon as i can ( and my connection too :P ).

  • Request the map you would like in the comments section. Every map i upload will be included in the list below so please check if it’s already uploaded before requesting
  • Download the compressed file for your country from the list below (it will be in .rar file)
  • Inside the file there will be 2-3 files, according to the country ( .dem, .fbl, .poi )
  • The contents of the folder must be copied into the corresponding folders inside your iPhone. The .fbl file must be copied inside the map folder and the .poi file must be copied inside the poi folder. Both folders are inside the iGO application folder inside your iPhone (see next step)
  • The annoying part of this procedure is to find the application folder in your iPhone. Using DiskAid and the tutorial on step 1 (above guide) navigate into the directory below: 
    /pivate/var/mobile/Applications
  • Here you should see many folders with strange names and numbers. You have to manually find the folder where iGO is installed. The exact name of the iGO folder is iGO_World.app
  • Once you find the folder type its name down if you ever want to add more maps in the future. Now you should go to content
  • Inside content you should locate the 3 folders we talked about in step 3.
  • Now just drag & drop the contents of the folder from the map file you downloaded in step 2 into the corresponding folder here
  • When you finish all the transferring i always recommend rebooting the phone. Launch iGO and you should have the newly added maps available

If you are familiar with Terminal commands, there is a very easy way to track the iGO_World.app folder in your iPhone. Just type the following command in MobileTerminal on your iPhone and you will find the directory path instantly.

find /private/var/ -name "*iGO_World.app*" -print
