Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

iGO maps Q4 2020 (Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro)

iGO maps Q4 2020 (Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro)

Earlier this year, I wrote an article on how to install iGO navigation with maps on an Android phone, and in that article, you could download maps for Serbia, BiH, Croatia, and Montenegro. But, new maps have come out, so I'll leave a link here and explain how to update in iGO navigation.

This article contains TomTom maps from Q4 2020 (fourth quarter of 2020). However, in this article, there are only folders for those who want just that, and the manual contains files + folders + and applications.

IMPORTANT: iGO is no longer such a popular internet navigation app. Now there are much better free alternatives! See the list of applications that have Offline navigation in Serbian and that work on all devices - LINK.

In short:

Maps for iGO navigation, and other navigation in general, are updated quarterly, hence the "Q" in the name. If it says, for example, "Maps Q4 2020", it means that the maps have been updated for the last quarter of 2020. The goal, of course, is to have as up-to-date maps as possible that iGO navigation will use on your phone. And since smartphones have a built-in GPS module, you only need more maps to make navigation work offline, ie. without the internet. Maps are vectors to take up as little memory as possible, but there are also raster maps and they take up more. In this article, or in any other blog, there are no rasters because I personally prefer vector maps. After all, they are cleaner and take up less. The following is an instruction to update the maps in the iGO application.

IGO TomTom map update Q4 2020

If you already have some iGO folders, updating is easy. If you do not have iGO navigation at all, then read THIS article and go back and continue the instructions.

1) Download the content

Download the. ZIP file from the link below and unzip it somewhere. You will see several folders and each has content for one country. Each folder contains folders + POIs (for cars and trucks) as well as licenses.

2) Setup new maps

The iGO content folder is in the phone's internal memory (if not, switch there). You need to connect your computer to your phone to be able to transfer new content and folders. You can connect via USB cable or a program to switch over a local WiFi network (eg AirDroid).

Open the iGO folder via the computer's internal memory and transfer files from the downloaded folder to your folders.

So:

  • .FBL files transfer to "iGO > content > map" folder in the phone
  • .POI files transfer to "iGO > content > poi" folder in the phone
  • transfer everything from the "license" folder to the "iGO > license" folder on the phone

Do not transfer the entire folder from the computer to the folder on the phone, only the files from the folder!

transfer everything from the "license" folder to the "iGO >  license" folder on the phone .POI files transfer to "iGO > content >  poi" folder in the phone .FBL files transfer to "iGO > content >  map" folder in the phone

Now forcibly stop the iGO application and clear the cache: phone settings > applications > iGO

Android TV Box - a guide to buying up to 30 euros

What is Android TV Box? This is a great solution if you want to add a " Smart " function to an existing TV . With this device, you can watch live TV online for free (later on), play games, upload all kinds of files, watch movies (from USB, over the internet, phone…), listen to songs, surf the internet, use social networks… or everything you can on your Android phone. It is usually a cube-shaped device (but it doesn't have to be) and has various inputs and outputs. It connects to the TV via an HDMI cable , but some also have an AV output over 3.5mm that goes to the familiar 3 cinches, so you can also connect to an older TV (even to SCART if you have an adapter). It is also standard for these devices to have WiFi , LAN port (RJ45), IR Remote , at least 2 USB ports , support for high definition video formats (these cheap ones often have 4K support), and usually come with a remote .
