mizifreak Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 anyone thinks there's a way to create zoom in/out soft keys? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Why would you need to when the volume button does it as well? Seems kinda redundant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CatchMeIfYouCan631 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 If members have found a way to add a delete route button onto the map screen, then yes you can add zoom in/out soft keys...it's just a matter of finding the scripts and adding and editing them in a way that your new button will do just that.

skicrave Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 There are references to the zoom functions, but I'm not sure if they're active or not. I'm in the process of re-skinning my unit, and have been playing around with a new paradigm for how zoom is displayed and controlled, so I'll let you know if I find something that works.

bobsyouruncle Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 It's not the easiest thing to do, but when in map mode you can drag your finger across the scale for the zoom level to zoom in and out. They are kind of thin, so it doesn't work well with fat fingers, but the function is there on the touch screen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bwolfe Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Why would you need to when the volume button does it as well? Seems kinda redundant. Dumb question, when on the map screen, my volume control doesn't control my zoom. It is controlling my ipod, so songs change and turning it controls my volume. So how do you use it for zooming in?

VBLUE42 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Push up or down on the knob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bwolfe Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I have tried that too. Unresponsive in 2D or 3D. Does the sound but no action is taken. And that was tried 20 minutes into a drive so everything should have been loaded up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephanie Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Tilt the volume knob up to zoom in, tilt it down to zoom out. Tilting it left and right will move to the next or previous track, on the iPod or CD. As far as putting soft zoom buttons on the screen, it is probably possible. It would take some searching though - it's easy to add buttons or other visual elements, the trick is making them do something useful. You could search all the script files in data.zip to find something that controls the zoom level; it would be in I haven't noticed any zoom scripts in my exploration but I haven't been specifically looking for them.

Stephanie Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I think I found the controls for soft buttons to zoom in and out. I have not tested this, but I found these in the place_800_480.ui file: What you can see is the onClick command starts the zoom in/out process and the onRelease command stops the zoom in/out process. The function START_STOP_ZOOM has two binary arguments. The second one is 0 to stop and 1 to start, and the first one is 0 to zoom in and 1 to zoom out. You can take this code and stick it in your navigatemap_800_480.ui file, change the bmps if you want to make your own, or use text instead of graphic buttons. Cheers!
