I have been experimenting on making changes to the Data.zip on another thread and I think I have got it to a point to share with the masses. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, I am not responsible for any damage to your equipment. Learn how to mod you unit from other threads in this forum before attempting these changes.

This Data zip changes the following...

*Quick Launch Nav Menu while not Navigating.

*Moved/Cleaned Up Blue Boxes while navigating

*Stop Nav Button (see below to convert compass to stop nav button)

*Mute Nav Button

*Linear Compass (new style)

*Small tweaks throughout for looks

*Vehicle Arrow is my truck (see link below to change)

This data.zip keeps a stock look from the Pioneer unit but makes the design more consistent.

The only mod I can claim for myself is the quick launch...

Thanks to

Stephanie for posting so much info showing how the files work

brink094 for mute button mode

bitman for stop nav

skicrave for replacing the arrow

BorisM for helping with code questions

and I am sure others that contribute so much to making these units more usable.

Change Truck/Arrow Link

To make the compass the stop nav button in my data zip you need to change the following line in navigatemap_800_480.ui

;Stop Nav Button

with this

;Stop Nav Button

I have tried the quick links with 5 icons and ten but I don't use them all enough to warrent ten icons on there at a time so I included all the files you need to go either way. It is a matter of changing the code a bit.

Change this

;quick menu

with this

;quick menu

and not as long as you get the x and y positions right you can move the icons and use any combination of icons you want.

and here is the ZIP

is this data zip an original 2.0 fw one or is it an older fw version?

2.0 with changes

keeper, awesome work, any luck on the show/hide button?

Not yet .. Boris explained it but I think it is a bit over my head. But I will try to play around with it.

Here's something form one of the more advanced iGO skins...

You have a button, with the ones you want to hide:

Pressing this button hides the layer (in your case it would be the shortcut layer, including the button itself) and displays the button below:

Pressing this button hides itself anв displays layer with shortcut buttons.

Just adjust layers/buttons/bitmaps to fit your changes and it should be fine.

very helpful boris, thanks I will give it a try.

You're welcome!

(Disclaimer -- I just copied it form Gurjon's simulation control code).

Are you currently using the 5 button or 10 button?

Also if your using 5 which are they?

the data.zip link you posted is not working, it is saying there is no valid archive. Any way you could upload it again.

*History

*MSN - Traffic

I just tested it and it worked fine. Make sure you are not trying to open it before it is fully downloaded.

So the file I download will be setup for 5 buttons?

Yah i downloaded it (took about 1 sec to download) then when it says dowload complete I open the file in winzip and it says cannot open file there is no valid archive. i tryed downloading it a couple times without success.

It downloaded fine for me.....

I just downloaded it and am wondering .... I opened to see the arrow image and it just shows an arrow... not your truck...

So I don't have to change that?

Thanks.....

no the one you download will be for 10 buttons. You will have to make the changes above to make it 5 buttons

and the truck is only there for 3d Map

keeper, awesome work, any luck on the show/hide button?

Not to confuse you guys even more but lava10t2 has been asking for a hidden button and I like the idea of that so here is another option. As you can see in the image below there is a dotted box to press to bring up the quick nav. You could even change the alpha of the image so you don't see anything. I tried both but like it this way better.

not really sure how to post this stuff. I guess I will try a step by step. Only do this if you have backed up your files and are comfortable working with .ui files.

1.

open navigatemap_800_480.ui ina text editor.

2.

search for

;quick menu

and paste this code directly above it

;quick nav launch

3.

search for

;Stop Nav Button

and replace with

;Stop Nav Button

4.

Add the .bmp that is attached to data.zip/ui_pioneer/800_480 although you can use any image you want.

If you are using the compass or some other button as your stop navigation you will have to add this code to the onrelease action of the button as seen below and skip step 3. comma+space+code

onrelease='existing action, btnQuick_launch.SHOW, ui_QuickNav.HIDE'

icon_bg1_ghost.zip

finally got it I dont know what was wrong but I restarted my computer and re-downloaded it and now it works

I applied some of yours qiuck links buton but guidance voice stoped working for some reason, any idea whats wrong?

Alright now I am having some trouble getting it working on the avic. Everything works fine untill I hit the map button then the unit just keeps rebooting. I noticed there were other files besides the data.zip do I need to do anything with those. I just copied your data.zip file to my sd card then replaced the data.zip file on the avic with yours, is this the right way to do it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I would rather people make their own changes from here on out because there are so many options.

Five icons, ten icons, hidden button, not hidden, button order, and which buttons to use.

That's fine keeper, just make sure you have commented in your ui file where everything is so I can find it.

am also kool with trying to mod the Data.zip myself just wanted to know if i should unzip icon_bg1_ghost.zip and place it into the 800_480 folder ?
