I never read this. If someone mentioned it in the other 100 firmware threads, then I apologize.

 

I am wondering if the firmware got rid of the blue boxes on the nav screen when no navigation is being done. I found it very annoying.

No, they are still there.

They are definitely STILL there! In fact... some of us only had that problem in 3D mode but now it's ALSO in 2D mode!!!

While they are annoying, they are pretty low on the totem pole of problems IMO.

True, but it has to be one of the easiest to correct. Also, the full-screen cockpit should be turned off with no destination plotted.

I spoke with pioneer about this problem among other issues and they mentioned the boxes are supposed to stay there, that's how they designed it. It's all BS if you ask me.

what purpose would pioneer think these boxes serve when the destination isnt being used. such a poor excuse to not hafta fix their mistake.

Beleive me, I asked, he said it was just the way they designed it...sure.

 

Now you know why it didnt come with a manual, it's so they can fix their mistakes as they go.

LOL. im startin to like Pioneer less and less because of little things like that.

 

I swear, if it wasn't for the little goodies that the F series has:

 

iPod voice commands

SD card

Beautiful picture

Volume Knob

 

i wouldve traded for an 8120. but after having experienced the good out of those features, im stuck to this unit.

The classic "It's not a bug, it's a feature" excuse. So why don't they advertise it?: "New with the F-series, pretty colored empty boxes which limit your view of the pesky map screen!!"

 

Maybe in the next update they'll enlarge them for us!!

Well at least it didn't come with a Goatse screen saver or something like that... That's always a plus.
