BlueGolf Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Hi 34by151, I've just joined the site. I just received the map update from Pionner. All installed ok. Firmaware version 3.02, maps 2.004. Can I apply your changes? I also notice that the safety camera database is not as uptodate as the previous vesion of the maps. Lots of cameras are missing. Not sure if othes have found the same. Regards, BlueGolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
34by151 Posted November 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Yes, this is for V3 firmware only which is what you now have Go into Settings / Navi Settings / About / Maps You will find the maps are V15.1. This release will update the maps to 16.1 All the poi's are back and the camera's data is the latest. BTW this also includes variable time and speed limits IE School zones drop the speed to the correct one when in effect ect The really sad thing is the Maps released by pioneer have half the data missing as well as being 3 versions behind My initial release for V2.0 firmware upgraded the Maps to this same version (15.1) later releases upgraded to 15.1a and 15.1b. The official V3.0 release is missing 3d buildings (landmarks); Petrol Station Hallmarks A tiny terrain file (38mb) so elevation is way off affecting calcs. This release has a 132mb version Old Poi's Old Speed cams No Phonetic speech The Latest Sensis maps are Version 16.1 that were released in June 09. The next update is expected in Dec which will be 16.1a this is expected not to update the map but the data, things like Pio's and cameras. I just noticed I left the 3dCars in the content directory. If you don't have a data.zip that supports this you can remove it. I am working on a new Data.Zip to be in my next release This has 3dcars in it among many other things and will have the look of the gurjon skin see http://www.gurjon.com/gj_scr/ for the origional and viewtopic.php?f=34&t=26699&hilit=gurjon for BorisM's AVIC verion I'm customising that with mods already completed by BorisM, IDT and Drifta, credit to them for their work Cheers 34by151 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lacehim Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Another great job by 34by151. The Pioneer update was such a disapointment! I'm glad you've put together this update to help everyone get the full benefit of their system. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueGolf Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Hi 34by151 I downloaded the two files as per your instructions and expanded them to a 2gig sd card. I noticed that only 262mb of the sd card was used. Is this right? I have the following folders - My Flash Disk APL APL2 testmode Utils I noticed when I expanded the smaller file it asked to overwrite some files.. I answred yes. Apologies if the above sound like stupid questions....I'm still new at this.. Cheers....BlueGolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
34by151 Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Extract the rar file and keep the directory structure. The easiest way is to use winrar to do that. The APL and APL2 folders are below "My Flash Disk" in the archive If you have trouble and have followed the posted instructions try deleting the files in "\My Flash Disk\USER\UserData\iGo\save" Cheers 34by151 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
34by151 Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I have the gurjon skin running. I have made some TMC changes to it for more SUNA info and options. Still getting used to all the options but it looks very good so far. I need to fix the positions of some of the icons as well as add-in in some tilt/zoom options before an initial release. All of the TMC changes from my V2 release are included. You can look those up in earlier posts. Auto/Manual tune switching is included as well as default TMC tuner mode. I finished the Spoken TMC warnings. Still working on getting a TMC warning distance going. This will restrict spoken TMC warnings to TMC warnings to those within a selected distance. New warnings will be spoken right away if inside your distance. Warnings outside the distance will be spoken when they come within the distance. Expired warnings will be spoken only if within your distance I'm hoping to complete an initial release by Monday next week. This will work on V3 firmware with or without the updated 16.1 maps Cheers 34by151 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beluga Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 hi there I new to the forum. Ive done some reading and thought i was ready for som mods... I downloaded the the two files as directed in the thread. I have extracted the first file to the SD card, but when i go to extract the second file and when i select to replace files I get an error message, which i can copy, but the details are: Extracting file: E:\V3UPDATE01.part2.rar Extracting to "E:\" Use Path: yes Overlay Files: no Extracting My Flash Disk\APL2\iGO\content\map\Australia.fbl Error: CRC mismatch in file "My Flash Disk\APL2\iGO\content\map\Australia.fbl" in the archive "E:\V3UPDATE01.part2.rar" any suggestions??? I tried to copy just the first file.... it clearly didnt like it because now it just keeps rebooting. some help would be really appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
34by151 Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Downlaod and install winrar Put the 2 rar files in the same directory Right click on the part1 files and select extract to V3update01 If you still get a crc error download the second files again. I have checked the files I uploaded and they are working Cheers 34by151 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beluga Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Hi there, I was using winzip, is there a difference? After extracting part 1, do I try to extract part 2 onto the sd card aswell? Or is it enough that both are in the same directory when I extract part1? Thanks again and I apologies if this sounds darft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
34by151 Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Yes you need both extracted. The Rar file is split into 2 file because 4shared limits uploads to 200mb per file. If you are still having issues download and extract with winrar as per my last reply. You will need this anyway if you want to update a data.zip file later on. Cheers 34by151 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beluga Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 hello, I have followed your instructions and was able to extract both files onto the SD card overwriting some of the files. I then copied the content of MyFlash to the device and rebooted. the device seems to go into an endless loop of restarting. there is some sort of counter in the top right corner which does advance as time progresses. is this normal? how long should it take if it is. I had it going for about 20 minutes before i powered the device down. any suggestions???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
34by151 Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Try deleting the files in "\My Flash Disk\USER\UserData\iGo\save" on your unit If that does not work try restoreing your backup. If you extracted the files correctly you would have overwitten some files in APL and APL2/content Did you follow the release instructions? Cheers 34by151 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beluga Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 thanks, ill give it a go tonight when i get home. cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
