mbegan Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Since i'm anti apple I don't own an iPod and instead chose to load a dvd up with my music. I have it organized in folders by genre then artist then album. So at the root of the disk i'd have rock, country, rap... Inside of Rock I'd have Aerosmith, Pantera, etc... Inside of Aerosmith there would be Pump, Get a Grip, Nine Lives ... then inside pump i'd have the actual tracks. This makes it easy enough to find stuff. This all worked great most the time, yes it was a bits slow and sometimes cumbersome I got used to it. With the new update the whole "browser" is gone All i can do is advance tracks with my disks. It doesn't display the files/folders or tracks just shows me what is playing nothing else. Anyone else notice this? did they do that on purpose or was my update corrupt?

MDK210 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 is it me or are the new disc keeping the map oriented north? I could have swore on the old disc it would adjust the map so you were always driving up on the map and then the little compass on the right pointed to where north was. I believe now the map and compass stay at the northern position. Is this right or am I just crazy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hit the little compass pointer in the bottom right corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What does that do exactly, I never had to do it before. BTW there's still about a dozen things I probably still don't know how to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jlong1987 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 mbegan buy an iPod and don't worry about it or listen to satellite radio or regular radio. Are you against Apple for making products that work? The little compass will switch between your screen always pointing north or your beacon always facing up no matter what direction you are going Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are you against Apple for making products that work? no just anti-apple in general. I guess i had more of a question as to weather that was a feature of the new maps or a bug specific to me more then it was me looking for product advice. Can anyone else comment on the question? did they take out the nice disc folder browsing feature or did i have a botched update? Thanks -Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is that most people have an iPod and therefor do not use their DVD drive for much more then movies and the Nav disc. I know that is the case with me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bonj87 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 i finally downloaded the files and burned my disk. put it in, the upgrade looked like it went fine. then, i tried to do a POI search to see if it was any better.. I cant set my region! the USA map is set at 0, and when i press it, it just sets me back at the main map. after doing that oh.. about 20 times in frustration and say 'uhh???'.. the D3 starts freakin out at me, and now it would suddenly reboot while driving and give me a black screen while the radio is playin. Once i got the inappropriate disk message and then it FINALLY mapped me to my destination, but now my POI search buttons, etc are all greyed out. am i fubared?? edit.. one thing i noticed, is the boot screen says copyright 2008, release 5/2008, yet they didnt release it until october! WTF pioneer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
italiangoat Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 well i just updated mine, parts of the map are missing and they are replaced by 1inX1in squares or random colors. On top of that a good portion of the icon pictures are gone, and my top speed is around 320mph. This was a bigger pain than it was worth! all i wanted was the 355 extension in IL.
