PortlandZinMan Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I searched the forum for "Ferris Wheel" before I asked this question. I just upgraded my Z1 to a Z2. As I was driving through town with the map set to 3D dual view, I all of a sudden saw this HUGE ferris wheel icon on my map that had never been there before. It was 3-5 time larger that any map icon I have ever seen before and was animated. I had to find out what it represented and when I got to the spot, it was an indoor go-cart track. I have never seen one of these huge icons before (I drive near that site every day). I do not have the map set up to display any POI except my bank, gas station and Starbucks. Can someone explain this monstor icon? (see photo) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dawgbone Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 the only time I've seen that, was in a blog about a new Avic that was released(or going to be) in Japan....AVIC-HRZ009G I believe... If noone else has seen it(I haven't), can we get a firmware version pic? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PortlandZinMan Posted November 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 This is totally on the up-n-up...I can take more photos, but they would just look the same. By the way - I have been on this site for well over a year...I just got deleted due to inativity and re-registered. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites

whtcrxghst Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 One of the upgrades from the Z1 to Z2 are these 3D icons. I have never seen the ferris wheel, but I have seen a zoo one and a stadium one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PortlandZinMan Posted November 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 As requested - more photos - I am sorry for the quality - taken with my cell phone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PortlandZinMan Posted November 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Found this on the "What's New in Z2" 3D Landmark Icons and Updated POI Icons - The AVIC-Z2's graphic map interface features 3D landmark icons for airports, amusement parks, golf courses, stadiums, and zoos. POI icons appear on the map en route, making it easy to identify the locations closest to your path. Wonderful...sigh...I get to see a HUGE farris wheel every morning and every night (unless someone knows how to turn that off). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jwq Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Wonderful...sigh...I get to see a HUGE farris wheel every morning and every night (unless someone knows how to turn that off). See the manual, page 48: 3D Landmark You can select whether to display the 3D Landmark on the map. ❒ 3D Landmark only appears when the view mode is [3D Twin Map View] and the map scale is set to 0.25 mile (200 m) or lower. On*: Displays the 3D Landmark on the map. Off: Hides the 3D Landmark on the map. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
