HackZ Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I agree, If it where not for all the Hacks that every one comes up with I would not own this unit. I am waiting for google to make a duel din or a navi already. It will happen I know it. Also Quick Update I got the speed cams working Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kvalen Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 But can I edit/delete one speedcam that is wrong? I am driving the same way every day, and the GPS alerts me of a false speedcam... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cigga24 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Does anyone know how to get custom images to be attached to POIs without using AVIC Feeds? I have a good bit of POIs i use for my Garmin that i can convert using the online POI Editor to KML but they list more than 300 locations which will result in an error in AvicFeeds which means i wont be able to add icons to the file. Also AF cuts my 679 csv location list to 300 but when i try to cut the first 300 out using excel to get a second set of 300 i get an error when trying to save as csv in excel. I also keep my 2gb SD in f900 if that matters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cali007 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 How does it alert you of the speedcam? Mine just shows the icon in the intersection that has a cam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cigga24 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 usa version does not do audio alerts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cali007 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Does any1 know why that is? Is that something hackable for the US owners? I know there is plenty of us that would love this feature! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BorisM Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Does any1 know why that is? Is that something hackable for the US owners? I know there is plenty of us that would love this feature! Has been hacked a few minutes ago. Will post in Progress Report thread once I have some other things working....

BorisM Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Disclaimer: Obey all laws, do not speed, do not run red lights. Now the fun part. By the looks of HackZ' screen, he imported POIs with red light cameras. This is nice, but does not give you warnings or anything, as those are just another bunch of POIs. Now, to enable real speed camera functionality, we need two things: 1. List of speed camera settings. 2. Code that enables them. Code is easy: I've posted my scripts in this thread: http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17820 Getting cameras in: you need a specially formatted text file that has camera coordinates, type (fixed, mobile, speed limit, type, etc). I've had good luck getting the file from http://www.gps-data-team.com/poi/united_states/safety/ Make sure you download the file in iGO format. Reading one of the INI files, you should be able to save the file on your storage card: \Storage Card\poi\speedcam\ and that should work. I've just copied the file to the unit's memory in ...APL2\IGO\Content\SpeedCam directory. It is recommended to delete file already there. Unit will think for some time and slowly convert the text file into an internal database format (.spdb and .spud for manual updates). Now, the cameras should show on screen. If you use my script files, you can go to Warnings section of system settings and specify how you want to be notified of them. Default sound is rather weak, but apparently can be changed and nicely configured... Still working on that. To add a new camera: Place a cursor on the map in the position where camera is at. Press Map Info button. Press Save As. There is a new option: Save as Camera. Select camera type, speed limit, and save. Similarly, if you put the cursor on an existing cameras, the button changes to Edit Camera. Have fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chadodes Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Amazing!, way to go, just increased functionality 10 fold IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Absolutely awesome, it does work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bwolfe Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Just so I don't mess something up... Just take the files/folder in the zip file and overwrite the ones on my F900BT? Of course make a backup first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cigga24 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Ok so what exactly do we do with your "scripts" im not much of a coder so can you explain? Does this file go in the \SD\POI\speedcam folder? Do we have to install speedcam txt file to the unit or are they safe on sd card? By the way great job!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BorisM Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 .UI Scripts overwrite the identically named ones in your DATA.ZIP (scripts you need for speedcams are listed in the other thread post) If you can wait I will have an updated script set one out this evening probably with some cosmetic fixes. In the speedcam folder you need to put a list of actual cameras. I haven't tried it off of a SD Card yet, although I think it should work. Copying them to internal flash works for sure...

cigga24 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Ok since we have to put into internal memory which may be better, from data-team do we just need red-light cam or the speed cam file also? I'll wait for you cause when i read your other thread it mentioned other things in it like MSN and buiding visibility stuff which im not sure if they are necessary for us.

bwolfe Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 The Speed Camera and Red Light Camera data files are they suppose to be txt files? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
