[ovalball]

Thanks ovalball for your feedback. So I'm ready to push out my latest, and I am sure you will love it, with my usual attention to details.

 

Cheers!

Just returned home.Only one slight problem was once when I tried to simulate a route I got a "out of memory"error and had to reboot.Only happened the once but thought that you would like to know.Otherwise it ran smoothly and was a great navigation aid.

Once? You mean you tried the same route again and no error?

 

Did you disable the GPS before simulating a route? There are bugs in iGo's SIMULATE function if the GPS is not disabled (this is why I added the enable/disable function in the GPS settings screen). No problem in the Emulator though.

Hey Chuck,

 

Your SmartTrack looks really interesting to me. I have been holding off installing your mod (I have 3 cars with an Avic) since you mention the next release coming soo/ready....

 

Should I go ahead and install 3.1, or os 3.2 just around the corner? No pressure, just that whole Murphy law thing that seems to follow me around. This will be my first use of your mod, I have been using Andy's mod until now. Nothing wrong with it, but your SmartTrack sounds pretty cool.

Hey good to know! Sorry for the delay I thought that only a handful of people really want it. It was dead-ready, just give me two days or so to upload it. Let me post the operating principle below for now ... this help may be brought up in the iGo interface, for reference.

If you like 2D, you won't be disappointed! I just invented SmartTrack and revamped your driving experience ...

 

 

Chuck88's SmartTrack Explained

Simply better for 2D Navigation!

Brought to you by Chuck88 (2011-06)

 

While this feature is extremely useful, its operating principle is very simple. As a prerequisite, SmartTrack can only be turned ON when the iGo SmartZoom function was turned OFF.

 

In 2D Driving Mode, the map zoom level is calculated in function of the current travel speed, variable from 25 km/h to 110 km/h. Levels vs speed can be customized using the interface.

 

In 3D Driving Mode, one can adjust the level offset that is to be deducted from the map zoom level calculated as per 2D Driving Mode, and a bracket of minimum/maximum is set to prevent from zooming too close to the ground or too high in the sky. Those parameters are also customizable in the interface.

 

When the Navigation SmartTrack is turned ON, the algorithm will take over the level calculated in function of the current travel speed starting at 1200 meters down to 117 meters before turn, and then revert to the level calculated in function of speed, if the next turn is in more than 1200 meters.

 

For obvious reasons, SmartTrack is suspended under the following situations:

 

* Map follow mode is stopped. SmartTrack will not resume as long as the on-map cursor is shown.

* AVIC multi-function stick is pushed. SmartTrack will resume automatically after above 45 seconds.

 

Will upload shortly ... please bear with me!

Just the once and I hadn't disabled the GPS so that's probably the reason

Sorry to say but that is from the base code of iGo, that I didn't have a chance to dig into.

 

I remember when I test-drived diaftia's mod v3.0, and I also signaled the simulator problem to him ... the SIMULATE function in the AVIC is very eratic at best.

[Chuck88]

So that is it, I finally got v3.2 posted , so after contributing to this forum for close to one and a half year, I can prepare my retirement now.

 

I will stay for a while to see whether there is big issue, after which, if absolutely necessary, you can try to join me by PM.

 

I personally find this an excellent mod, and credits go to whoever has contributed to its making. I invite you guys to continue modding of my mod where I left it (don't forget to give me credits ), and I say farewell to everyone!

Great job Chuck, the selectable zoom levels makes this mod absolutely perfect! Thanks for all your contributions over the past year and a half; it is sad to hear that such a talented modder is retiring. All the best, and thanks again!

Thank you for your words.

 

In this release, the biggest improvement over v3.1 is the smoothness with which the zoom level changes, and the integration between Normal Driving Mode & Navigation Mode levels ... selectable zoom levels are only a bonus.

 

You'll see that anyway ... enjoy!

 

I see there were exactly 300 downloads for my packaged WinCE 5.0 Emulator with my mod today; now with diaftia and abb1 both retired, I just hope someone will jump in to continue the tradition.

Perfect mod on v3.2 and the smarttrack is just amazing! The smarttrack is very smooth, indeed. Hopefully, somebody will continue with the updates and thanks for all the work. :)You will be greatly missed, Chuck.

[ovalball]

Finally back from holidays(vacation?)and gutted to see you are leaving the forum Chuck.Your mods and your willingness to help all who need it has been like a breath of fresh air,and you will be greatly missed my friend.Thank you for all your superb efforts and may I wish you the very best in the future.
