I did everything as shown, now my tilt works fine, but My voice navigation stopped working (on all voices not just TTS) - anyone know how to get it back??

 

thanks.

if you own a F500BT, guess you having the same problem what I had. Here is the fix I posted on the other thread...

After some trial-and-error, I figured out why there is no voice guidance after installing this mod (well, still no 3D buildings though), and I think this is F500BT specific. The following lines at the beginning of the Sys.txt has to be changed for F500BT:

 

From

 

[device]

type="PIONEER746UC"

 

to

 

[device]

type="PIONEER749UC"

 

Hope this help anyone using the F500BT.

thanks it worked!!

This is indeed one of the best datazip mods I tried so far... great work!

Couple of questions.

1. is there a way to toggle the quick launch buttons on and off?

2. will the 3D buildings work on a 700BT?

Thanks again,

Thanks again,

3D buildings will work on any model.

WOW!! This one is gorgeous. I love it and it looks amazing. Thanks to all who contributed.

are the 3d buildings enabled as a default on the unit? cuz i have a f700bt and mine shows buildings.

Some models came with landmarks (3dl files), buildings are 3dc files that are not included stock. There's plenty of info on this site how get them and enable their functionality though.

oh ok yeah i know how to get them, but it was just odd that mine had some regular buildings like a hotel and then some known landmarks in dc. but then again i don't consider some of then buildings it showed landmarks. oh well. i had just got it back from pioneer and they had to reload everything back on it so id thought id ask

N-S-E-W, I love that layout with the trip details at the bottom - what mod pack is that, and is it possible to merge that with the data.zip at the beginning of this thread? Possibly a button to toggle all kinds of trip details on or off would be the best idea, since some people don't want to see those details all the time.

Now, on to my comments about the data.zip and building pack at the top of this thread - I installed it on my f700BT following the instructions, except I have NOT installed the hacked ezrider.exe or license file (not sure how to do this, will have to read it later).

Now my issues - first, i notice the elevation is reported in Miles sometimes instead of Feet. for example 0.2 Mi instead of 1300 ft. Possibly it cant go beyond 3 digits?

Second, my bluetooth has been acting like crap ever since I installed this - I notice about half the time, the volume is very quiet, so quiet I cannot even hear the person talking. If I hit the volume buttons it barely makes a difference. Also people I'm talking to report I sound like crap to them as well. If I disconnect the call and call them back, it usually fixes the issue. But its getting kind of annoying to have to say "Hang on let me call you back... " every time I get a call. This issue never happened before I loaded this data.zip.

Finally, I notice the TTS voice sounds like the quality has been reduced. It sounds staticy and very "tinny" where before her voice was very clear.

Any ideas? I will try the hacked ezrider tonight and see if that helps at all.

Dan - The "mod" pack I'm using is my own set up. I started with a zip that had stop navigate, kill voice and a modified route info box. The rest is what I pulled from the threads and added in or my personal modifications. You can read about the trip stuff is in this thread.

What you described is altitude. Inserting the code from this thread will display elevation.

This thread will further explain how elevation is displayed.

Thanks man, I'm reading all those posts now. I'm changing it to use gps.elevation and I definitely plan on using some of your trip info knowledge. I'd like to make a pop up window with all that info as it will be too cluttered on the map screen with the mods from this thread.

bonjour

moi jais un avic f700bt et jais essayer de mettre le teste mode est voila mon avic f700bt ils se redémarre tout seule je sais pas pour koi

merci

Dude I can't read french, sorry.

Anyway, using that gps.elevation works perfect - only problem is this data.zip in this thread has 2 places it calls for 'altitude'. . i found and changed one but need to locate the other, as it is still reporting in miles.

Will post back with the results and what files to modify.

just to clarify guys, so I uncompress the data.rar file, then place the data.zip file in the usual My Flash Disk/APL2/iGo/ directory, right?

 

What do I do with the sys.txt, finalnew.ttf, finalold.ttf, and tahoma1.ttf files?

 

thanks in advance...

 

Those also go into My Flash Disk/APL2/iGo/, next to DATA.ZIP.

I added the 3 files to the Igo folder now my map version now says 1.000600 before the mod it said 1.000800. My house is also off by 4 houses in the gps

Where can I get my original sys.txt file anyone have one. Thats if thats the problem

This stuff is great

If you think the SYS.TXT is the problem, just delete it. The unit will rebuild it on next reboot. Now that is under the assumption that the other sysXXX.txt files are still there and untouched.

Thanks for the fast answer, I will give it a try I still can't figure out what drives what but I think Im learning

Thanks again

best data.zip I've seen so far. I added this, the new maps, and some other things and have it set the way I want finally. There are a few things I'd like to change though. I want to change the blue box column on the left. I've got the navigatemap_800_400.ui open but am a bit lost. How can I remove some icons, add icons, change icon types/paths, etc.? I know for sure I don't need the MSN traffic or the Favorites shortcuts in that blue column, so if I could start by getting rid of those/condensing the blue column, I'd be happy.

edit: nevermind, I think I figured out how to deleted those icons, now I just need to figure out what all the parameters mean so I can add/edit icons

No, it does not rebuild SYS.TXT. Firmware update has an original one, however...

just to be sure its the one in the igo floder the same as the data zip is that correct. There are so many copies of the files and folders I get confused

Thanks again

I now have buildings show on my unit as well as the pre-loaded landmarks. I simulated a route through downtown Chicago and there was literally hundreds of buildings showing. With that type of density of buildings showing, the button presses were noticeably slower to take effect. In a couple cases during simulation the the scheme turned to a all black background. Probably due to the speed of the simulation where the processor could not draw the image fast enough to keep.

This past Sunday we went to The Field Museum of Natural History and on the way my screen went black as if in night mode. It happened at the same spot as it did when I ran the simulation. Well guess what, it's wasn't due to the density of all the buildings and a slow processor. It was because I was in a fricken tunnel and that's why it turned to night view. Within 5 seconds of exiting the tunnel the scheme went back to day view.

Yep that's where it is. Not contained in the zip but in the same area where you change the zip files. The content folder is there too as well as several loose files.

You're welcome.

Main SYS.TYXT is in the main application directory My Flash Drive APL2 IGO

not in a zip.

Technically speaking it is a special Tunnel mode, not night mode. If you look in color.ini files in schemes, there are settings for 3d_tunnel_XXX...

Cool, just learned my new thing for the day. I thought I was gonna make it a day without, but just saved me.

Thanks Boris.
