ir.zip seems to be missing from Rapid Share.. the image validation never shows up. Does anyone have a working mirror or be willing to forward them to me?

Too bad the cracked EZRIDER.exe file seems to still have the blue square box bug.

Thanks for the crack though.

Blue squares have nothing to do with the executable. This is purely a skin issue, and it was fixed in 2.0(1.9 Europe) update as well as by many skin modders here.

I have been reading this topic , and have a question. I have a 900bt with version 2.0 firmware, would this mod benefit me? I am experiencing trouble with addresses be off sometimes. What version of maps is currently be used in version 2.0 firmware?

SInce you are running 2.0 I assume that you are in US/Canada. 2.0 firmware did not update maps, so they still are TeleAtlas 0801 (I think).

 

With the hack you can install 0807 maps wehich _should_ be more accurate. The only way to know for sure would be to try them in your particular location...

this is annoying searching for the latest maps.. can someone give me the t*rrent name/title for the 0807 USA maps? don't need a link

 

well i'm grabbing 2008.4 not sure which that is ....

Indeed, i don't know why, but (having firmware 1.9) i had the blue square when gps didn't know yet my position.

So correction to my previous post above : there is no blue square back.

Ummm... was it when you had an active route or when you didn't?

 

With an active route squares will show (since this is where instructions go). But if the unit doesn't know your position it can't put actual directions in there, so you get empty rectangles.

 

If you get them without an active route then something's messed up...

Where can we find the license file for US?

Posted Dec 11, 2008 · 19:18 UTC#36

Usually the same place you'd find maps...

Posted Dec 11, 2008 · 19:22 UTC#37
:) somehow i knew i was gonna get that answer. i was checking around and couldn't find it. i'll keep looking. :)

There was once posted here at some point, really. And of course if you download the entire iGO distribution there will be license files galore in there...

Ok, I think I got it working but I think I was hoping it would do something else...lol. There is a pic in the launcher 2.0 topic that shows iGo running and the bluetooth light is on with the iPod overlay on the maps.

 

I got the Florida map and the license file and copied over the ezrider file but nothing happened. I go to the map info screen and all of my maps say 2007 except florida says 2008. It loads the map (which is why I assume it worked) but the layout looks exactly the same as the regular avic mapping system.

 

I was trying to get the new software look (with the binoculars in the upper left hand corner) without losing my bluetooth and ipod capability.

 

Here are pics of what I have right now as well as the pic of what I want.

 

The first pic shows all the regular maps except Florida which is running the new maps of 2008 compared to 2007.

 

The second pic is the map of Florida, but it looks normal.

 

The third pic is what I'm trying to get to. You can see the bluetooth light and the iPod overlay, but it's running the different map system.

Hacked EZRider is still the Pioneer specific one (that's why you can use it without Launcher and it integrates with AVIC's A/V system). It simply allows you to use those newer maps.

 

If you want to use the binoculars view... this is iGO's standard factory skin, so either run that from Launcher, or someone would need to port it to AVIC...

The very last pic that I posted in my last post...do you know how this was done? It shows the binoculars view with the bluetooth and iPod overlay? Thanks.

-- EDIT --

Nevermind, i fixed it. It was the license files...i know for a fact that i didn't delete the old license files, but i got them out of the rar posted on page 3 and now its up and running with 2008.4 maps :lol:

 

-- Original Post --

Am i the only one this didn't work for? I copied over the hacked ezrider, and the whole set of 2008.4 maps, buildings, and POIs (8.0.0 version) and now my unit doesnt work at all. It boots up, runs for about 2 minutes, and then reboots. If i'm at the main menu, it has the "system is booting up" message, and the furthest I can get into the navi is the saftey message. I can use the AV part fine, until the unit reboots itself. Instead of copying the new content over the old, i deleted my existing map, poi, and building folders, then copied the new ones over. Maybe i shouldn't have done that? Unfortunately I didn't make a backup....i know, i know. Now my map folder contains the USA_(state).fbl files and a basemap.fbl file. Can someone check if their's has anything other than that? I copied the new license folder over the existing one, and now all my license folder has is the "Generic_iGO_WorldWide" license which is the one i downloaded. I assume there was another file in there before, but i didn't delete it. Does iGo automatically delete the old license file?

 

Help :cry:

any one try this on f700bt ?

Posted Dec 28, 2008 · 20:15 UTC#46

im going to try it right now on the f700 wish me luck

 

EDIT: no luck

Guys,

 

Did in my f90bt and in a f500bt of a friend....works fine....since it's a hack to Igo there's no reason for it to don't work....Probably you are doing something wrong...

 

Just REPLACE the ezrider.exe and COPY the worldwide license files...DON'T delete the existing ones....if you do the system won't boot up.....

 

Make sure the maps you are using are for igo 8 and not igo 8.3 or something.....

 

Any doubts let me know..

I have downloaded the hacked EZrider and license files from the link here.

 

If I search for IGO European maps, will I finally get heads up in both 3d and 2d modes? Or is that only implemented in IGO 8.3?

 

 

Cheers from cold rainy England.

Posted Jan 05, 2009 · 02:51 UTC#49

Igo 8 has the 2d and 3d maps....just google for it..

There's no such thing as 2D or 3D map. Maps are all the same.

 

iGO 8 (as on AVIC) will NOT have 2D head-up. If we ever get 8.3, then there will be 2D head-up.
