I just noticed this on Pioneer's website:

http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/ ... AVIC+FEEDS

I tried downloading it though and got a page not found... hopefully it means they are close though.

I could download it

No problem at all

yep it works

It is just strange that the software disappeared from the european site

Yeah I have a european Unit

yep it works

lemonhead does it affect any of the hacks?

I don't see how it would... it's something you install on your computer, not the radio itself. The only thing you do with it that effects your unit is loading in new splash page images and POI's into the unit, and downloading tracking data and the setting configuration from the unit.

Oh Ok, thought it was something uploaded into the unit

I was able to download it this morning - maybe they posted the download page before they put the actual file in place. Ah well.

It looks almost exactly like the Navigate Feeds program - in fact it wouldn't let me install until I had first uninstalled Navigate Feeds.

Honestly, I think you can do everything this software does without the software if you just go into windows mode and do it yourself. But I'm sure this software makes it a lot easier to do.

Settings Replicator is useless. I would like to see more advanced settings features for nav and other settings. That program would have a lot of usefull potential if they added more advanced settings features. It might alleviate less firmware updates and complaints if they allowed users to use that program to customize the units interface and settings the way each individual likes it. That big red arrow in 3d mode is TO BIG! I like the ipod Album art but not so much on the NAV screen. Stuff like that. Any word on the second update??

I guess the feature to send from google maps isn't working yet, only allows to send to garmin or tom tom, i guess they forgot to let google know it was comming out.

...If I had the extra money I'd throw my PC out the window and get a Mac any day.

Has anybody installed this version?

Which Release No is this Version

It's version 1, and it works as advertised now that Google Maps is working with it. I find this app quite useful actually, as I can recount a dozen times that I plotted an address (or a plethora of POI's) from my home computer but could never transfer that information to my car GPS.

This elegantly provides this service.

That said the settings replicator is useless IMHO. The POI editor is kinda cool though.

I found that you can bring up a POI from the SD, do a 'Save As' and save the POI into the Nav Unit as POI, Pin or Favorite. After doing this I could take the SD out of the unit and they were still there.

Hi all,

the Help section of the navgate program is pretty useless as it does explain how to use the program (self explanatory though), but it does NOT explain how to link it with the Avic ?!?!?

I ve created a personalized Icon for POI. Found out (by myself) it is stored on the computer under "C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\AVICFeeds\icon", but then... how do i transfer it to the Avic ?

I tried to copy it to the SD card, but then couldn't find a way to import from the SD to the avic... any help ?

Thanks,

I would like to know this as well. I posted a question in the hack section asking.

Once you load your .csv file hit the CONVERT button. This will take you to the next page to edit/select the icon. There, click on the icon image to the right and it will allow you to pick a factory icon or a custom icon. Once the icon is selected save the file to your computer or SD card.

sorry that was the wrong question for me.

My problem is, i have garmin POIs in csv and they have more than 300 locations per file. If i convert them to KML using POI Editor (since AF is limited to 300 locations) how can i attach the icon for them? Someone did it for the Speed cams. If i have to use AF to attach, how do i edit the csv file to break it into 300 item parts? Excel gives me an error when i re-save.

If you have a KML file you could either import it from the AVIC itself (on the destination screen there is an icon to import from SD/USB) or go into the test mode and copy KML files into IGO\Content\Userdata\POI folder. Then open Manage POI screen on AVIC and select the icon you want.

I dont mind keeping the KML on the SD. I know i can just copy the KML into my POI folder on SD but it wont have an icon. For instance i took my bestbuy poi and just put it in on my SD in the POI folder and went to avic and it loaded but it didnt have my bestbuy icon.

I just need to know how i should save the icons if i dont use avic feeds to create the files, is it even possible? My problem is avic feeds doesnt accept files that have more than 300 items in it.
