It's been so long I thought it was carvers hacked ezrider when it was dpdurst who modified a already hacked ezrider for elevation. Here's his download http://gpssoftware.us/avic/30/ezrider_alt_mod.zip I don't know what version it's for or what else it may have other the ability to add new maps and report elevation in feet. Remember though, that you still need to change the code in the data.zip to gps.elevation. Here's a couple links as well: http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/24974-elevation-in-feet-this-a-solution/page__p__185835__hl__%2Belevation+%2Bezrider__fromsearch__1#entry1858

gps.elevation will work to show feet up to a mile. See this thread : http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/18571-post-your-max-elevation-display/page__st__15 I believe if you're in area with elevations over one mile you'd need carver's hack.

Kruuth - While there is much truth in what you wrote, there will still be people that can and will mess up the installation and think it's the authors fault. It really is time consuming and takes a great deal of patience to support the mods, whether it's a full blown data.zip or just an added mod to an existing zip. Back when this unit was in it's infancy most everyone was learning at the same time. Bits and pieces were being added a little at a time. Rarely would a whole data.zip be offered. Doing it piecemeal we learned to explore the files in the zip and have a better understanding of what

Chuck, You've come a long way since I was last on. Looks really nice.....especially all the new icons. Keep up the good work.

It's in the schemes. If you have a scheme that the buildings are rendered to your liking, create a txt file copying the [clip_planes] section from the scheme. Rename the txt file to clip_planes.ini and copy it to your data.zip in the common folder. You may also search in the mods forum for additional info regarding clip_planes

Congratulations! Yeahhh!! Nice! Congratulations from Portugal!! Thanks everyone. Being a grandpa is like having a new kid that you can spoil but don't have to deal with the poopy diapers, feeding and waking up at nite, just give her back to mom. Abb - No disrespect to you at all. I just can't see myself getting all gong ho at modding again. I hardly use the thing as is so trouble shooting would be difficult. From the pics you posted it is very nice looking. One other thing I've learned is that many of the features that I've added to mine over time are hardly used. I use

Whenever you update the firmware (Pioneer issued, legal copy) the mods get deleted and a new data.zip is installed by default. The new firmware should have also included maps and the license to allow the maps to load. If you bought it, Pioneer should be able to help you through the issues you've encountered. Otherwise, you need to search this forum for others that have had similar issues and see if a working solution has been accomplished.

Sounds like you need to alter the sys.txt file, particularly the [map] section. Here's what I have been using for well over a year with good results: [map] 3d_max_tiltlevel=9000 3d_min_tiltlevel=5000 3d_zfar_horizon_ratio=200 3d_max_zfar=60 zoomfactor=105 tiltfactor=20 If you have some of these already and want to experiment with other values just put the new test value in front of the old value but with a semi-colon in front of the old value. An example is 3d_max_tiltlevel=9000 ;7500 with the ;7500 being the old value. I particularly find the tiltfactor=20 very useful

Hi everyone - Just stopping by to say I still check on things once in awhile. Abb - The mod looks great. I went as far as downloading the files, but I never installed it. As much as I enjoyed working on the AVIC when I was really active in the forum, I just did could not bring myself to starting up again. Nothing against what everyone is doing. Just my desire has waned more than I thought. BTW - My daughter gave birth to baby girl about two months ago. Mom and baby (grandpa too) are doing great. For this I am most thankful for.

I've also added this mod. Just started playing with it. I may have to change something on my set up as the sizing of the car model is not changing. I may have missed something along the way when adding it or I might need to alter my sys txt a little. misterblue - Thanks for the hard work and making the changes so the appearance of the screen matches the other Pioneer screens.

Sorry to hear that, IDT. May you have better luck going forward. You deserve it.

Nice team work guys.

MB - Looks like a really nice addition. Since I do use my own zip, I don't think I'll be able to take advantage of your hard work unless you separate it from the MB mod.

So very true Dumpy. We all helped each other figuring things out. \ Life does goes on
