For those wanting Australian TTS voices here's Karen. Voice_TTS-nua-eng-au-f1.zip

Just an update. Tried tail24 suggestions but no luck. The strange thing is if I create a speedcam down the road the warnings work fine. It shows on the map the same as all the other speedcams but the others still don't work. Has me stumped. Just the fact that I can't figure it out is annoying me more than the need for the speedcams. Any suggestions?

Thanks tail24 I will give it a go on the weekend.

I haven't been able to get the speedcam warnings working using Dafias 3.6+FW4.0 on an Australian unit. I can see the speedcams on the map but no warnings. They are turned on and worked fine on earlier firmware. Do the cam warnings work with FW4.0? Any suggestions would be appreciated

Anyone willing to upload an australian HD3 HDD image somewhere?

Delete the file suffixed *.ph in the APL2/Igo/Content/Phoneme directory. Make a backup first just in case of problems.

Diafia, If there is a next version would it be possible to add some quick zoom buttons on the main map screen such as a "+" and "-" that can be touched easily. At the moment you can drag the distance bar but it only has a very narrow touch range and a stylus has to be used. Big fingers just tend to pause the navigation rather than zoom. Most of my driving is off road on dirt roads and fire trails which are rough so trying to zoom in and out when on the move is nearly impossible with this narrow touch range. The reason for requiring the zoom is the maps in Australia don't show the smaller street and trail names until zoomed in.

[quote Where is the *.ph located? I looked under user/phone and found call history and phonebook.

Thanks

It's located in the APL2/IGO/CONTENT/PHONEME folder. Just delete the file with the ph suffix but make a copy first just in case.

I'm having issues with the spoken guidance on my system.

 

I just recently typed in a location and as I navigated to the location the unit kept speaking a street or road name, spelling it out including ampersand's and backslashes etc. in the street names?

 

Is there a specific voice it should be on or is there a setting somewhere for fixing this?

I had the same problem and deleting the file inside the PHONEME directory(*.ph) solved the problem.

Check it out people! works a treat...

Cheers thanks for the info. Wasn't aware of the new files.

quick unrelated "testmode" question :

 

on my 910 when I am in "testmode" the navigation menu at top of the window is impossible access (file,edit etc) I have tried the screen orientation etc. etc. I can see it but I just cannot get to the drop-down

any tricks or tips?

I found on my 900 that if I have problems with the touch screen accuracy in testmode I go to control panel in winCE and recalibrate the screen. I think it is under stylus in the control panel from memory.

I tend to go subtile on changes so if you are looking for something drastic mine is not it.

I love the fact that you keep the mods looking OEM. Some of the other modders do great work but stray a little to much from the original theme for my liking. Just a personal thing I guess.

re-read my post, I was asking if the split screen can be made like the pic I showed, where it lists the next 3 turns, not just the next turn

OK you got me.

Hey Alex,

 

you are way too quick for me .

I'm still on 3.1 and have at least one thing which I find needs improvement: to toggle between the map styles you have to press the compass, but I find it very hard to touch the button so it responds in the right way. 90% I end up setting the cursor in the to right corner instead of toggling between 2d and 3d. Maybe it's just me, but takes a lot of attention off the road.

In addition I have one question: Is there a way to hide the speedcam icons on the map? Here in Europe you can get serious fines in some countries if cought with a System like that.

 

 

 

Thanks

Hey Segler1963 couldn't you just delete the speedcam files from My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo\Content\Speedcam and no more speedcam info to display.

Wow, didnt notice this update...

 

I know its a long shot, but i have always wondered if its possible to have a split screen mode like what is found in the 04+ Yukon Denali factory/Delphi/Eclipse navigation systems. Here is a pic of it:

 

Basically, on the right bottom of the screen, it lists your current street. Above that it lists the distance of the next turn, the direction of the turn, and the name of the street. Then above that, it lists the next 2 turns. And when you are close to the turn, the right side of the screen changes, to show you the lane assist picture thing.

 

For example, if the exit has 2 exits on it, it will have an overlay picture of the exit and will draw a line on which lane to take when the exit splits into 2 different directions

The mod includes a split screen. Look at the pics on the first page.

Split Screen

As long as you follow the bypass instructions on this forum it will work.

I have a US unit and even with the Data.zip mod below you still have to earth/ground the parkbrake wire to the best of my knowledge. Works fine on my FT900BT US model and has been that way for quite some time.

Software/Hardware Bypass

AVIC-F Hardwire Bypass for Dummies

Bypass doesn't work. I can't use the Quick Menu or anything unless E brake is depressed. Making the mod completely useless. Any ideas? Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Instead of connecting the E brake/Park brake wire to the brake switch connect directly to earth so as to simulate the brake being applied at all times.

Most definately is possible. Been there done that. As I mentioned the screen is a bit small to give good results but it can be done and has been discussed in the forums previously.

To enable the use of detailed Topo maps and better functionality for off road use. Search Oziexplorer via Google.

You can run programs like Oziexplorer CE via testmode or possibly as an app in the latest version of Dafias mod. Will have to try that one. Copy Oziexplorer CE with maps and testmode to an SD card and boot the unit with the SD card installed. Access Oziexplorer.exe and double tap to run. The screen is a little to small with most topo maps for my liking.

Something must be wrong with me..... I'm 41 and I check this thread for v3.0 three times a day!!!!!

 

Something must be really wrong with me, spent the whole day debugging code!!!

 

To clarify abb1's comment, The look and feel of the mod is retained so things will be familiar to everyone.

 

Cheers

Thanks 34by151, I'm not sure what abb1 meant by my comment being spam? Nor am I impatient. I was simply stating how excited I am for the next update..

 

Keep up the great work.

Scott

I'm with you gibear2k5 and probably many others who are patient but excited awaiting the release of the new mod. Nothing wrong with a bit of friendly conversation.

You're not alone. Thought it was just me

Make sure you clear the user save folder as per the instructions.

Step 19. You need to delete the save files so that your settings are built fresh with these new mods. They are in “My Flash Disk\User\UserData\iGo\save. Everything should be deleted except for a favorites.dat file if you have one.

Not familiar with the 700 but on the 900 you can run Oziexplorer for CE and use Topo maps no Problem. Just use test mode to access winCE.

Also I believe you can use Leetlauncher on the 900 with Garmin and Topo maps but not sure about the 700.

As BorisM states both methods are hacks.

Try the reset button.
