ok so here's what my slight mod looks like

if anyone wants the navigate.ui lmk .. you'll just have to inject into mav's data.zip

i hope this forum auto resizes

now.. if i can figure out a way to replace all the blue boxes everywhere to red....

Awesome work. I added to my system this morning. I really like the larger clock and the street address feature. Speed feature is cool too.

The only feature that I could see to improve this would be the ability to touch the XM info bar (channel number, channel name) to cycle through artist and song title. Is this even possible?

Thanks again!

I have the same problem my 2d/3d button doesnt work either.... everything else looks good though. the button is there but is not functional.

Thanks for the hard work

SPEEDO/ALTIMETER/ROUTE INFO MOD

 

Step 1: To remove the Map Scale, open up and search through the code of every file in the DATA/ui_pioneer/common/ui folder in the DATA.zip file. The following code should be changed as follows EVERYWHERE it appears:

 

Replace this:

 

map.ZOOMCONTROL_SHOW 1

 

with this

 

map.ZOOMCONTROL_SHOW 0

There is also one instance of this function in DATA/ui_pioneer/800_480/ui/scripts_800_480.ui

Also, it appears that people might be adding the code for the satellite strength info button and then immediately removing it when adding the route info upgrade, since your instructions say to completely replace the RouteInfoBackground function and the replacement doesn't include it. I suggest swapping these two posts, and having the satellite button addition after the RouteInfoBackground replacement. [Nevermind, it looks like it's built into the RouteInfoBackground function as well. Might want to note that for people who just want RouteInfo without the Satellite Strength button.]

Question though: What y-positions do you suggest if I wanted to keep the iPod cover art intact? Or would you suggest moving something to the opposite side?

Thanks for all the tips!

[Edit] Aww crap. I just realized I've been adjusting the old, pre-update DATA.zip. Time to do everything over again. I'll let you know if/how everything works.

Good point. I altered the Speedo/Altimeter/Route Info Mod accordingly. Thanks. Incidentally, I'm not going to be able to check into the problem with the 2D/3D toggle button for a couple of days. If you have a moment, can you check into that and see if you can figure out what the issue is?

As for the iPod cover art issue, check up in this thread a couple of posts. Someone else came up with a workaround by moving one of the buttons over.

Thanks!

I haven't gotten around to flashing in these excellent mods, but as to the above question about iPod art, according to the quote below has the current data.zip file already corrected this?

i've been messing with this and can't get seem to get it right...

 

i have a couple of criteria i'm trying to meet.

 

1. to not cover up/overlap iPod album cover art on the bottom of the x=720 axis

2. regular sized clock

3. replace GPS sat with Voice Mute Mod

 

; *** Voice guidance mute mod by Gert-Jan ***


; *** End Voice guidance mute mod ***

 

 

any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Peter, note that I've modified the zip file pretty dramatically in a manner that should better accomodate iPod coverart.

No. The Data.zip linked to in the first post does NOT move anything around to accommodate iPod cover art (because my wife doesn't use an iPod and it's in her car). If you want the iPod cover art to show, you'll have to modify the location of a button or two. Some other contributors to this thread have done so and have posted pictures of the results. Read through their posts and you'll see what you can do.

I have this data.zip file and everything works great.

The one problem I have is that my elevation shows up in miles (.4 miles, .5 miles, etc). How do I change this to feet like in your screens?

I uploaded his DATA.zip and replaced mine on my APL2/IGo folder but no changes? WHat am i missing?

I'm using the exact same data.zip I posted and mine shows in feet (obviously). First thing I'd do is check to see that you have the correct setting in the Navi Settings/Regional Settings menu to display distances in feet. If you do, then the next thing I'd do is try to swap out the "navigation.current_altitude.full_text" code for the "gps.elevation" code as suggested here: http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19965

Please report back and let us know whether either of those work. Thanks!

here's my edited ui ...

this will move the nav mute button to accomadate for iPod album art

just inject into mav's data.zip

Maverickster,

FYI -- I did change the navigation.current_altitude to gps.elevation and now I am showing feet instead of miles. sweet

Wonder why your edited data.zip file was showing miles for me -- that makes no sense.

Mav, I am stuck in a quandary... I REALLY like the look and usefulness of your GUI. But I really require the use of the traffic cam alerts.

I have tried desperately to combine the DATA.zip posted for the quick install with your DATA.zip and there must be something conflicting because the system hangs.

I then went and tried to manually enter your additions to the already built traffic cam DATA.zip and that didnt work either.

Could I possibly offer to make a donation to your cause in order to have you or someone else add the traffic cam abilities to YOUR DATA file?

Thanks Parker,

Now for those illiterates out there (like me), where exactly would one 'inject' this. If using mav's stock data.zip, would it require any other changes or should I not use the stock data.zip with this?

I would suggest this sequence:

1. Get Mav's mod working.

2. Add speedcam datsa files and make sure system still works

3. Turn camera notifications in SYS.TXT on, check if it still works.

4. Grab setting.ui files form my Progress Report thread and check if it works with them.

If it doesn't we'll need to dig deeper.

Roger that Boris, I will do this over in that order and report back later today.

Thank you,

He's saying to take that file he linked to and replace the navigatemap_800_480.ui file in the DATA/ui_pioneer/800_480/ui folder in my DATA.zip file with it.

I'm finally going to have a chance to monkey with the 2D/3D Button issue tonight. Anybody make any progress on that over the last couple of days?

--Mav

Data.zip and first page worth of posts have been updated to resolve the following issues:

1. 2D/3D Toggle Button now works correctly. If you have used my Data.zip and subsequently made your own revisions such that you would prefer not to download a whole new Data.zip, all I did was add a Z index layer command that brought the button forward (i.e. "Z=3001") to both the 2D and the 3D button. If you prefer to cut and paste, in the navigatemap_800_480.ui file in the DATA/ui_pioneer/800_480/ui folder in the DATA.zip file, replace this:

;2D-3D Button

with this:

;2D-3D Button

2. Altimeter in lower left (when no route active) now shows elevation in feet, not miles. If you have used my Data.zip and subsequently made your own revisions such that you would prefer not to download a whole new Data.zip, all I did was change the "navigation.current_altitude.full_text" command to "gps.elevation". If you prefer to cut and paste, in the navigatemap_800_480.ui file in the DATA/ui_pioneer/800_480/ui folder in the DATA.zip file, replace this:

;current speed (and speed limit where present) and altitude when not navigating

with this:

Nice Mav! Thank you.

Nice Mav! Thank you.

No, thank YOU. This is a collaborative effort and without folks coming forward and identifying glitches and helping to troubleshoot them, this would be a lot more difficult and a lot less rewarding. I'm still not sure if I'm happy with the way I fixed the 2D/3D thing (there was no z layer command in the original data.zip, so I was hoping I'd be able to fix it without adding that), but it definitely works for the time being and I haven't seen any ill-effects from it, so I guess it will do.

Anyway, again, thanks for your help!

If this did fix it, then it probably is the best fix. Z controls the stacking order of layers, and something (may be one of your new layers is full screen?) was on top of 3D/2D button, thus preventing you from pressing it.

You could try moving your layers down, but moving buttons up is just as valid...

Maverickster,

Yeah, I dunno, maybe it shows feet below a certain threshold (and I'm below it) and miles above it (and you're above it)? Either way, I altered the data.zip to gps.elevation so now it should be feet for everybody. Thanks for your help!

D'you get this solved?
