kafklatsch Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 i think that's a map problem, hopefully we get the hacked ezrider soon as the new maps are so bugy  my accuracy is off by inconsistent amounts, i dont think we'll do any better than 0-40 ft off depending on circumstance..... its the technology, maps, cpu's, atmospheric conditions, displays, software..... etc...etc..

Harvey_Gordon Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Today I put an address into the system and it took me there. No problem. But after I arrived, was parked in the location, the sys showed I still had 27 feet to go, and this was after sam said, 'you have reached your destination.' I then had to manually cancel the route because I couldn't go 27 more feet. I was there. Just letting you know my experience with 3.01 dl'd from Pioneer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â i'm going to try navteq maps, then i'll let you know if there's any difference Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Harvey_Gordon Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 That would be great. I used navteq in the past (2004-2007) and believe the data is better arranged. I would have no idea how to change from the Pioneer teleatlas to navteq, but I'll try anything with some guidance. Thanks IDT for your past, and continual, help and assistance.

kritter3 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I have been in quite a few cities with the navi and have noticed a wide range of accuracies. Sometimes I will be sitting still and it will show that I am traveling a few MPH. I have always assumed that this was a quirk with GPS. I will mention that I did not hook up the speed sensor wire to the correct wire at installation. The manual does say that the accuracy would be affected if the speed sensor wire is not hooked up properly. Just some thoughts. I am currently using IDTs 2.0 mods and will be updating soon.

finger11 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 installed the head unit/3.0/idt 3.0 v2 without a hitch over the weekend and loving it so far. one thing that is not showing up on the main map is the 3d button. any idea why this would be? can't stand the non-always north 2d map.

Â it is the map icon just right of the bullseye, it cycles "north-up" "heads-up" and "3d" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
finger11 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 yea, I know, there just isn't an icon there at anytime. weird eh? i've tried pressing where the icon would be and nothing, it's just an empty icon space. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fusion600 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I too have experienced this over the past couple of days. Â The icon which had been there previously was not showing up, instead there would just be the map where it should be. pressing on the area was treated the same as pressing anywhere else on the map. Â I am trying to gather a reproducable scenario since this has happened on both of my units. I can't explain it, or giev the scenario to cause it, however, I can only confirm what finger11 has reported. Â I will keep looking at it. Â BTW, using a stylus and rebooting the unit fixed it for me on both units. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The manual does say that the accuracy would be affected if the speed sensor wire is not hooked up properly. It won't make a bit of difference. My VSS IS connected and it still shows movement when I am dead still. ...sorry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ttorski Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I hope is fixable, 2.0 update was dead on, 3.0 - sucks, I feel bad for people driving around in the big busy cities, when 20-50 feet is a matter of couple streets, plus we're not geting much help from street labels either  IDT can you tell we how tu turn off the turn restriction signs but keep the speed limit on?
