Can anyone tell me how to make 'time-to-destination' show instead of 'time of arrival'?

 

I tried doing it in the UI (settings>nav settings>visual>etc), but it doesn't change anything...

 

I currently have all three boxes showing time-to-destination in the UI, and yet it's still MPH, Time-of-Arrival, and Distance-To-Destination (I think... it's however the mod has it)

 

Thanks in advance

Haha, mcast25 , I got it to work perfectly; however, I have two questions for you. First of all, the home icon on the left of the screen is right on top of the scale icon. Did I copy the wrong text or wut lol? And secondly, things seem to be a bit laggy when im on the map screen doing things such as touching the buttons on the screen but its only laggy on the map screen.

As you can see from my screenshot, the map scale icon does not appear at all. This comes from Mav's SPEEDO/ALTIMETER/ROUTE INFO MOD. I honestly can't tell you why it's still showing on yours. As far as the sluggish response from the map screen goes, I'd have to agree with you. I have noticed that it's a slightly slower. Not enough to be a factor for me. Maybe someone else can help with the response time.

Hmm I don't know what I'm doing wrong with the scale problem then. Oo well, not like it bothers me too much; however, thank you very much once again for posting that ui file. I couldn't do these mods manually if my life depended on it haha!

Wow, thank you so much for doing this! This was something i've been waiting for 6 months for Pioneer to do! Pretty f'in sad if you ask me Pioneer couldn't have figured this out and added this in the 2.0 update.

 

Things like on screen voice mute, on screen route cancellation, more readable time to destination and clock.

 

Owell, like someone's quote here says, screw you pioneer, ill do it myself, or rather do it with the help of those smart fellows on here.

 

Once again thank you! Now to just get the ipod art covering up the route cancel button. Guess I have to add that fix I saw a few posts back.

 

I can't get over how amateurish and clueless pioneer looks right now, I mean I jsut don't get it, magellan has these, I would of thought it would be standard? Is it copyrighted or something? I mean wtf?

 

Anyway, hoorah!

Nice! Just what I was looking for! How pathetic of PIONEER! WOW! This is awesome!

 

Anyway, does anyone have these files edited that they can upload? Or does the code need to be edited individually?

 

I say this because I'm trying to edit the files, but it's a bit more complicated than I thought.

 

I thought I could use someone else's files as a template...

Mav posted his data.zip in the first post of the thread (right above where the pics start).

 

And I'd like to personally throw out my opinion on something...

 

Pioneer programmers don't suck.. Their opinion of how to lay out the user interface is just different. I guarantee they know how to make all of Mav's mods, but they actually preferred it the way they made it.

 

Now I think all of Mav's mods are fantastic, but I could see how a programmer could see it as cluttered (too many buttons on one screen).

It's all preference.

Now when we start seeing forum posters fixing all the bugs not helped by 2.0 and decreasing boot time to 5 seconds - I'll agree that the Pioneer programmers suck.

 

Just my 2 cents - unnecessary people bashing is...well...unnecessary

I've been quietly reading all of these threads for the past week, making a sweet "hybrid" navigation UI using Maverick's & Keeper's mods (GREAT job btw guys!).

Rather than having a POI button, I'd prefer a button that launches back to the Destination screen from the Top Menu.... this way I can choose a Favorite, POI, Home, etc.

I've created the button, but after hours of digging through .ui files I still can't find how to execute it to the menu I want.

 

Any ideas?

 

(Feel free to use this button, or make it better. I'm self-taught in Photoshop so I don't know all the tricks!)

 

EDIT: Added the attachment and code

 

;***Stop Nav Button

Re: Destination button (above)

 

Answered my own question!

 

Command needed is:

onrelease='run sc_ShowDestinationMenu'

Hi guys,

 

I'm new to this site, new to being the owner of a F500BT, and relatively new to computing. Although not a complete tit I must admit I need your advice on how to perform several things:

 

1- how to make a backup copy of pre-installed files/folders on my F500 to SDcard

 

2- the exact way to install and copy Mavericksters DATAzip, both from pc to SDcard and then from SDcard to F500

 

I think I've copied it correctly to SDcard, but once I get into Windows on the F500 I must admit I'm not having much luck (I'm lost tbh) :oops:

 

And although I've done lots of searching I'm still none the wiser! So any help would be much appreciated - after all, we all gotta start somewhere, and if you dont ask....... etc...

 

Cheers,

 

Mark

Excellent mods Maverick! These are most of the mods that I wanted to do all neatly packaged! Perfect! Great work! 8)

Hey Maverick-

 

Are the speed cam scripts loaded into your DATA.ZIP file? I am thinking about doing that but I don't want to overwrite your tweaks. :)

 

Can I just add the camera location data and be ready to rock? I am looking in your data.zip and see some speedcam*.bmp files.

 

EDIT: Cancel this! I see where you posted that the speed cams are complimentary to this. I added them in pretty easily. I just have to see how to easily add in a cam when needed. I think the add POI button has been removed with your mods. Not a huge problem since this should not happen all that often. ;)

 

Thanks again for sharing your data file with all of us.

I am really loving maverics mods. It is an excellent setup.

 

I would like to add in a couple things to my setup. I would like a mute all button and a screen blank button

 

These features on the system are not easy to get at.

 

Sometimes, it would be handy to just mute the sound, like say if a cop stops me, or for phone calls without blue tooth.

 

The screen blanking thing would be handy if I wanted to keep someone from noticing my flashy setup, or say at night to help outside visibility.

 

There is no off switch and having these buttons would be very close.

 

I am thinking about giving up the satelite info button in order to put these 2 side by side there.

 

Any pointers where I can find code for this?

 

Thanks very much.

It looks to me like it might be possible to crate my own menu.

 

For now just for convenience sake.. I have used Maverics Data.zip and want to build on it.

 

I have put 2 mods in already.

 

1) the software bypass

 

2) removal of european maps references also called the speedup mod.

 

While I like the shortcuts in the mods, I would prefer some of them and more in a single button quick access menu. I would like all the buttons on the right except the clock in it. I hope I can do this

 

Also, while looking through Maverics data.zip i noticed what appear to be references to files that I that I don't have.

 

In the poneer.ini file, there are these lines:

 

 

[folders]

usb_kmlpoi="USB Disk/poi"

 

[speedcam]

import_directory="\Storage Card\poi\speedcam"

 

I'm going to comment them out as I don't want it searching my sd card for them.

 

I'm wondering if there are any other references to files I might not have such as picture files and screen backgrounds.

 

Pleas let me know if there are any more.

 

Thank you very much Maveric.

So I am an idiot noob.... haha... Are the Data.zip's identical between the F700/F900's? Wanted to make sure before copying this straight to my F700

These are standard factory entries. If you never ever are going to add your own POIs or speedcameras (at least the easy way), you can comment them out. They do not affect your speed at all though...

They are all the same...

Well, I figured out how to install Mavericksters hacks by searching this forum and reading almost every topic and post. Taken me days, but i've done it and I'm chuffed - thanks Mr. Mav :)

 

Just to confirm, I'm in the UK, using a 500 model, and the following needs to be altered in the 'Testmode' folder -

 

MITACAP/Testmode/APL2/iGO/content/MapDBInfo - Change "Area: UC" into "Area EW".

 

Now I'm off to do a proper install - already mounted the bracket and cradle mount (minus the HUGE suction cup) on a central air vent, so it's down to hiding all the wiring and interconnecting between head unit/500 amp/500 display. Happy daze :D

 

Thanks to all the contributors on this forum, top notch stuff!
