skicrave Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 What problems are you currently having with this mod? There was a discrepancy between the data file I posted and the manual edit instructions. The manual instructions were correct, the data.zip was not. I can send you my current file, it has the delete route modification added, and the remove boxes mod functions correctly on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 No problem, if the option 2 instructions were correct from the beginning then no need to send file. At first I did download your data.zip but I was unable to edit any of the files for some reason. This became evident once I attempted to do the delete route mod. The solution was the option 2 manual edit of the files. All is well now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cigga24 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Does this mod only work in 3d mode? When looking at the pics it only shows 3d. I use 2d mostly so will this remove the boxes for me as well? Good work though!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skicrave Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Nope, works in both 3D and 2D, although there is a bug in Pioneer's code that prevents the next turn arrow from showing up sometimes while using 2D, but everything else functions perfectly and the problem is intermittent.

cigga24 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I think the arrow loses on mine anyway sometimes, i just press "map" and everything returns. This may be noobish but, when you say install in the directory do you mean: take zip file and unzip it in that folder or should i unzip on computer and put unzipped files in that folder?

skicrave Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Yeah, that's what I thought too, but I had reports from some members that it worked fine before the modification, which is what led me to believe it was a bug on Pioneer's part. Let me know if you encounter the same issue with this data.zip file, and if pressing map fixes it (my custom data.zip I'm using does not exhibit this trait at all). data.zip always stays zipped, and should never be decompressed on the nav unit. Obviously you can unzip it to work on the files, but then it needs to be rezipped and loaded on the nav unit in compressed format. The F-Series unzips it (and a host of other files) during the boot up process. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BorisM Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 skycrave -- Actually, on all other versions of iGO (and I don't think this one is any different), you _can_ unzip some or all files from Data.ZIP into iGO's program directory. In this case they override what is inside DATA.ZIP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skicrave Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Very good to know! You're fast becoming the iGo expert, which is something we definitely need around here. Does iGo always unzip the data file, even if it finds all the files it needs in the directory? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BorisM Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Not an expert really... but I am reading forums of a rather large skin building community to see what I can find. AFAIK iGO will load first files form the secondary_root, then from files in the program directory, and then it will look at the data.zip. Files loaded first are the ones that are used.

ChrisK Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I replaced the DATA.zip file that was in the first post and I'm having an issue w/ the next turn arrow not showing up in 2d mode. I'm showing a modified data of 9/8 on some of the folders when I view it. I haven't unzip'd or edited the contents of the file in any way. F700 which was original unit (no blue dot) updated w/ pioneer fw update when it came out in july. The next turn box was always there before and after the updates. The next turn box IS there in 3d mode. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cigga24 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 my arrows are gone as well in 2d mode. in 3d mode arrowa show up and when the map zooms out to a 2d look the arrows still stay. but 2d shows no arrows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skicrave Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Read the posts above. There is a known issue with the factory software that only pops up when this mod is implemented. I'm working on a fix, but don't have one yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AvidAvic79 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 stupid question?... what are you using to interface with the unit? is it a PC? are you transferring data through SD card or looking at the unit on a PC? I'm having a hard time getting this info can anyone help? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cigga24 Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 they are browsing the files on a pc that they copied from the unit using a sd card. they can get to these files on the unit by using files from the firmware update to boot into the windows os on the unit.
