So then there is no way to get what I want it seems. That sucks. I just want feet to show between 880 - 5279, without the text "ft".

See my post above this one. If you didnt change your navigatemap.ui file to have the gps.elevation field instead of navigation.current_altitude.number_text then you wont have "ft". My guess is that you are either seeing 0.2 (or above) miles, or live at an elevation below 820 feet or so which will correctly show the number of feet, without "ft". I'm trying to get it to show something like "3240" (if I should drive to that elevation).

I did some more testing. Went back to a clean data.zip and did not change the elevation to gps.elevation. In KM/M mode, it displayed in meters, without an "m". The same held true for Mi/Yards, it did not show a "y". With Miles/Feet selected, it would display the number of feet without "ft" up to around 820, at which point it would switch over to 0.2 (miles) with no units. Then I tried it with the gps.elevation in the file, and it would display feet digits just fine, never switching to 0.2 miles or whatever, but "ft" was always there. So I am thinking its something to do with the al

Adding .number_text to the end of gps.elevation makes it disappear completely, so I guess that means it doesnt like it. I guess for now I will just reduce the size, and try and position it inside the sign borders until a different solution is found (if one is). To rule out one other thing, I am using the EZRIDER from this post: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=27989 (ezrider_alt_mod.zip). Thats the correct one right?

Is there somewhere else that units get changed besides in the UI on the Regional settings page? I tried all 3 settings there (KM/M, Mi/Y, and Mi/Ft) and each time I got units displayed (M, Y, or ft). Let me ask this, a particular scheme wouldnt affect that would it? I really dont know what else to look for.

So you can see what mine is doing compared to your's in the first post: For now I guess I will play around with a smaller font to get it all inside the sign border, but if you figure out what I need to change to make the "ft" go away, let me know please. Thanks again for all your hard work on these mods!!

I actually want to hide the units. Maybe I messed something up on my editing, I will recheck it all and re-flash it. *update* I re-did the mod to the navigatemap file, and repackaged a clean data.zip, uploaded to my car, erased saved data, and while NOT navigating, I get units displayed which extends outside the graphic. Example: "816 ft". In your image on the first page, there is no units being displayed (that I can see). Any ideas on how to fix it to hide the units? The other option would be to shrink the font down enough to get it all in the box, and I might play with that, but I

Oh I just looked on page one at your screen shots, and see the issue. Mine is displaying "880 ft." (or maybe it was "880 feet") and yours just has the digits (in this case it would be "880"). How do I fix that?

it's in navigatemap_800_480.ui in the 800_480 folder Oops, thats the one I meant. Do I need to change it down in this spot too: . . . So far, I changed it in this section only: ;ELEVATION Also, do you have a suggestion on a good font size for the elevation? 26 (or was it 28) is too big, I'm going to try 20 next, but if you knew what size would work best in that box, it might save me a few trips and flashes.

know which file I need to look in for that? *edit* think I found it, navigatemap.ui ? I was searching for the whole string in each file and didnt find it, but then searched for just "current_altitude" and located it in a few spots.

Well I am sticking with this version for the time being, dont think I will have time to get version 3 going and tested befor my long road trip. One question thats been nagging me for a while, and I thought I had it fixed, am I not able to get the elevation sign to read in feet at all times? I've installed the alt-mod'ed EZRIDER but I'm sitting here at about 860 feet above sea level and its reading 0.2 miles. Is there something else I need to change?

Looks great! Going to try this out tomorrow for sure!

What doesn't show up on my theme? The image.res file has no dependence on the NAV section and runs totally independent, so it should have no effect on the Nav at all I meant some of the schemes dont show up in the selection list on the avic. or maybe they have a different name on the screen than the actual file name? I've verified that all 60 schemes copied over to my SD card, but some dont appear in the list, such as: NEWMOON, MOON_FOG, moon_rain, JohnCougar2-Night (but JohnCouger2-nite does). I am using your scheme.zip from page 20 of this thread.

So far so good on all my stuff I did yesterday. Have not tried the map changer yet, but TA maps (2009.06) running off of the SD card (in fact all of Contents is running off SD card) just fine! The new maps are so much better than the old 2008.10 I had. Getting speed limits on all small roads in my small town, used to be just on major highways. Love the skin #2 also. Cant wait to see Skin #3! One thing I did notice is with Abb1's newest scheme.zip, not all of those seem to show up on the Avic. Or maybe the file name doesnt match up with the name on the avic. Is that possible? I'll

Ok changes made. Quick question on the map_nt and moved "map" folder. What comes of the building, dem and poi folders? do both Navteq and Teleatlas setups use the same set (thus I need only 1 copy of building, dem, poi and have to decide whose are better)? Or is something else going on?

IDT, Just making my changes to sys.txt right now, and want to make sure I got this all correct. Added: [switchmap] changer="\My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo\Extension\MapChanger\MapChanger.exe" 1=",map_ta,\Storage Card\iGO8\Content,\My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo," 2=",map_nt,\Storage Card\iGO8\Content,\My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo," And also setup this in [folders]: content="\Storage Card\iGo8\Content" After I flash the skin, I will move all things from "\My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo\content" to "\Storage Card\iG08\Content". Does that all seem correct?

I think you need to add the 2nd argument in your line 2: 2=",map_nt,\Storage Card\Content\iGo,\My Flash Dish\APL2\iGo," But why not try IDT's suggestion from BorisM?

Been away for a long while, but wanted to give your Version 2 skin a go. If I want to have my TA maps on SD card, and the NT maps on MyFlashDisk, do I just need to mod the sys.txt from: 1=",map_ta,\My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo,," 2=",map_nt,\My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo,," to 1=",map_ta,\Storage Card\whatever-directory," 2=",map_nt,\My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo,," or does it need to also include the path to iGo.exe, and is this correct: 1=",map_ta,\Storage Card\whatever-directory,\My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo," 2=",map_nt,\My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo,," And can all of the TA stuff go there (maps, basem

I started up this morning on the NAV screen, TC was not working. GPS location was also off, according to the map I was going cross country, making my own road! Then it finally snapped back onto the road, and the TC instantly started to work. I think the TC issues are related to the headunit getting a solid GPS lock at the beginning. But then again, I've had times driving down the road, GPS is right on, and TC isnt working, so who knows...

Looks like I could use some hand holding here... I did a search for the asbis...no file I did have all my old 2.0 files, but deleted all so I wouldn't be tempted to try to us them and mess up my 3.0 unit...not so smart? Could you please share yours? I should really put some superglue or something on that #$%#@! delete key! Thanks for ALL your help! download IDT's 2.9 version file (his old thread) its in there.

Has anyone compared the different versions of the building files yet to see if one set is better than another? I'm currently using TA 2008.04 (igo 8.0) building files as I thought my 2008.10 ones were causing an issue (in fact it was a license file issue). But I did notice there were more files in 2008.04 than 2008.10, more states covered, so that leads me to believe that the old version is better from the get go.

Ok, got the license out of that and will try it shortly. I remember on 2.0 firmware I must have had 10-15 license files running in it, but I dont have all of those anymore and didnt feel like searching on here to find them. Glad it was in your 2.9 version file! On the trip computer, I was able to bring it up again when I was just out driving (not in a route). It showed current speed, but all the other fields were 0 values. You dont have to be in an active route for this to work do you? I've noticed that mine has been very erratic like that, sometimes its 0's other times it works, and

Well I got v3.1 (latest, MSN) installed on my F90BT. I've also copied over building files now twice, first from TA 2008.10, and now from my old Avic 2.0 setup (whatever version those were, 2008.04 maybe?). I get no buildings visible at all other than landmarks. I've got the worldwide license, plus the one that came with the 3.0 software. Seems like for whatever reason, my unit isnt liking the worldwide license. Need to figure this out as I miss seeing the buildings. Trip computer: wow is this erratic to start up. I literally have to use a toothpick and click on a specific part of th

I just finished my upgrade to the official 3.0. I had previously dont the Avic X 3.0 upgrade on my F90BT. Had a hell of a time making the official SD cards work. Tried replacing the LPUE080*.HTM files to my original 2.0 versions, didnt work. Then replaced the LPUE080*.VER files as well, still no go. Finally I took an SD card with original 2.0 on it, and went into service mode and "upgraded WinCE (with format)" to the 2.0 version. Didnt install anything to "My Flash Disk", put in the Pioneer SD1, and restarted, and the upgrade worked great! Only complaint is that I told the unit to SA

I've never had much luck with the trip computer either, regardless of mod. I wonder if it has anything to do with GPS signal at startup (for instance, I park inside and have no signal, so could that be screwing up the trip computer script?). I just finished re-flashing my unit over to official pioneer 3.0, so now its time to re-install the latest IDT mod, maybe things will be better now with trip computer, although when I was running the Avic X 3.0 hack on my F90BT, I noticed that my GPS location on the maps was much less accurate than in the old 2.0 firmware.
