diaftia Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 diaftia,I found a bug on digital dial screen. When the distance to next turn is less than km, the text overlaps or displays outside of the box. I will take a picture when I get home. That would be great. I will get it in before the next release.

ozmangrant Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Diaftia, maybe I'm explaining it wrong and I only noticed it today. I was on a straight route I95 and the map swiched to 2D mode on me. There were no turns or exits I was making. But your explaination makes sense. I could of been beong re-routed due to traffic. Geez I will try again on the way home and see what happens. Thanks again for the fast response. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mtulbert Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Ozmangrant, What probably happened is that you have the smart zoom turned on and set to zoom at 2.0 miles. BTW this is a feature that I really like. If your route segment is longer than 2 miles the screen will zoom out and give you an overview and it does it with North up. As you get under 2 miles the screen should zoom in and revert to the mode that you were using before. I believe if you turn off the smart zoom then this will not happen. Alex will correct me if I am wrong. Hope this helps. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alex will correct me if I am wrong. Hope this helps. Mark Yes and no... you are mentioning two features here actually. Smartzoom is when navigating it will zoom in on a turn when it comes up. As you approach a turn the map will not change orientation or anything but zoom in so you can see the turn better. Once the turn passes it will zoom out to the level you had it at previously. All of these tilt, zoom and distance to zoom in and out are configurable with the wrench that is next to the setting. BTW putting the tilt bars full right will give you sky in 3D mode. Overview mode is when the map changes orientation to 2D mode when you are not within any turns based on the settings. By default the setting is 2 mile zoom out if the turn is over 2 miles away. What this says is that if I am on a freeway, for example, and my exit to get off the freeway is more than 2 miles away, the map will switch to 2DN mode to give you a large view of the route from a 2 mile elevation. Once the next turn comes within 2 miles it will switch you back to the map mode and elevation setting you had previously. This setting is also configurable via the wrench setting so you can change the distance to next turn as well as the elevation to which it zooms out to. One thing to note is that when in overview mode, if you would like to exit overview mode you can simply enter another state. Going back to the main map will exit overview mode. For example, if the map is in overview mode and you want to exit out you can touch the YOUR SPEED sign to enter the speedometer screen. Exiting out of that will take you back to the standard elevation. You should not be locked into the overview mode. Hope this helps... Alex Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It does a lot but I have tried to make it as intuitive as possible. Some things are hard to understand though if you have never used them. You will see though its really easy to get the hang of. If you have any input I am always open to hear it and possibly get it into the mods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mtulbert Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Thanks for clearing it up Alex. The overview was what I meant to be talking about. Just got my terms mixed up. Thanks for clearing that up. ATB M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mightycouger Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 "I did delete the save files. I notice that when i go into the GPS time settings menu it has" EDT North America/New York" by default for some reason. The reason why I don't think its related to my mods is because when you are in testmode, at the windows CE level, the unit will still sync time with the GPS satellites. Can you try hitting the reset and eject buttons on the AVIC itself for 5 seconds and see if the clears it up?" Diaftia, I tried resetting the unit using the eject and reset button it didn't fix the time problem. I did notice that when i have the map screen up it DOES have the correct time, but when I'm on an audio screen(FM, AM, IPOD,ETC.) it's an hour ahead of the actual time! How is this possible? Anyway, should I restore the backup file and start from scratch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When did the problem start? I would do one of two things; restore to 2.0 and do the upgrade again if you just did it or start a thread in the problems/troubleshooting forum and see if anyone knows of a fix.

Have you thought about you're having a default setting of longitude and latitude in your sys.txt?? Set it to default_latitude="0.0" and default_longitude="0.0" (or search your home in google earth ) and this should be the solution! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neiljames Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Thanks for the donation Neil! Looks like it came in last night. Many thanks! As far as changing the map orientation you do that by touching the compass. I do that since it's a little bigger than the traditional button. As far as deletingthe save files goes; you should not need to delete them as long as you did it when you installed. Just changing and image should be fine since no code has changed. Let me know how it goes and thanks for the feedback. Alex Sorry I was not clear...but what I found is that I loss the compass and it was in 2 d because somehow I loss 3 d. I believe that is why it would only give me north up. I had deleted the saved files once again and it worked fine. go figure.... Let me ask you what file can I find the day and night car (arrow) in 3D? I have noticed that once I finally edited the picture properly, it works great but only in 2D not 3D which I can only get in the split screen. How can I get 2D on the main map. I know it most likely something simple but I can't figure it out. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On top of that he said that its fine in the nav and not when listening to the radio. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I updated to 3.xx a few months ago without any problems. It started as soon as I installed your v2.2 mod. Although I do think it's a fluke thing limited to my situation(i had your previous mod installed before this one and it worked great). Does the time that is displayed in multiple screens(map,ipod,fm,etc) all linked from one source? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know it most likely something simple but I can't figure it out. Thanks for your help. I think that is a little mode involved and you need to use an mdl file. I would start by checking this post/thread: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=17490&hilit=replace+arrow&start=45#p116696 To change the map direction touch the compass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
