Resizing a picture is one of the most basic of processes... next time try looking into that, thanks.

 

Wow... now I see how you get your high post counts, you like to bash new people ... Good for you!

Not bashing, just trying to help. Most people don't like pictures that take up twice the width of their monitor. It kinda sucks.

 

i see it more a problem of this forum board software. i'm active on an other forum (toyota uk) and there the pictures are automatically scaled... very easy and no need to worry about the pictures you post...

That's true. But if you look at this forum, it's a pretty barebones setup. Not many bells and whistles. It's does what it's got to do to get things done, and pretty much nothing more.

like your smiley lol

 

dont get your hopes up though HiFi, it's no different than the settings on the unit and it only allows 300 POI's max

Yeah, it just messed around with it a little. It's pretty much useless. To me at least.

So it looks like the native POI file format is KML. This is great. It's a standard format google uses. You can create a whole list of POIs using something http://www.poieditor.com/ and save a KML file to your SD Card. Make sure it's in a folder called "POI" on the root.

 

The feature that looks really really great is the Google Maps native integration. According to the HELP file of Avic Feeds you should be able to use Google Maps to find what you want to add, then using the SEND option on Googles site, "Send To GPS" I would assume this adds the location to your SD card. The only problem is, Google doesn't have a Pioneer device in their GPS device list. Only tomtom and garmin. Even though the help file says the Pioneer should be an option. Maybe Pioneer hasn't done their Google integration yet.

If you use POI Editor to get around the 300 item max, how do you setup icons?

Yeah I just downloaded the AVIC Feeds app and tried it - sure enough, Google Maps doesn't list Pioneer as a choice in the GPS dropdown list.

 

Very frustrating as this is one feature I have waited for since buying my F90. Come on Pioneer - what's the dealio? :-(

Hey everyone,

 

I just tried it, and pioneer is now included in the drop down list for the GPS devices. I guess it took them a while to upload the update to their servers and propagate it. Anyway, this should work now (let's hope).

Wow. Talk about "ask and you shall receive"

 

The damn thing works great.

Yep - works here to - like a charm in fact!

Is there any way to use google maps routes using avic feeds?

No - it will always use the actual GPS live-routing function on your head unit. I know, it's a shame - but at least we can transfer destinations via Google Maps. It almost makes the need to update the GPS map directory obsolete. Kinda'...
