I notice a bunch of downloads on 4shared for the new maps

As nobody has said anything, can I assume the upgrade works for everyone?

hi 34by151, the maps work like a dream, as I fully expected, coming from you.

Very keen to get my hands on the skin release you have been promising to release soon...

Had to go back to stock skin from the beta because of bluetooth issues.

As I said, you da man..

..the maps work like a dream...Very keen to get my hands on the skin release...Had to go back to stock skin from the beta because of bluetooth issues...

Glad the maps are working, how did you find the installer (one I put the correct one on)?

The same process will apply to the new skin

Regards the skin, Myself and Diaftia are in the process of bug fixing, once that is complete it will be tested by selected beta testers before packaging for release. We are very close to beta testing now

Regards the BT issue, that was pa roblem very early on when I was working to combine all four versions. IE US With and Without MSN, Euro and Oz. The problem exist if you have a TMC model. If at any point you enable to use MSN it will create two msnd files in you save directory. These files kill the BT on TMC models. We are aprox 18 versions beyond fixing that with the new skin. I have also included the fix for this into the gui, if you ever enable MSN by mistake. I also removed the afected version from 4shared, so you should be ok with the ones available

Cheers

hey 34by151,

the installer works like a dream, after I figured out that you just have to wait.

About the current beta skins, are you saying I won't have an issue with the Bluetooth with they current beta3?

If you stick to the released versions you will not have a problem with BT.

The current Beta also does not have an issue with this as it was fixed aprox 18 revisions ago, however this is not available for download.

Once debugging is complete it will be made available to selected beta testers.

Once they have completed checking over everything it will be released and available to all

Cheers

No worries at all, didn't know what was causing it yo happen (Just in case it was the beta software doing it you could nip it in the backside.. )

That's a pioneer ezrider issue. You will find it either goes to that menu or to the audio menu. I cant change that. However the new mod allows you to select the first screen you go to when selecting map on boot

 

cheers

All units should have at lest V2 Firmware, however you need V3 Firmware for this update.

I would suggest you update to V3 as it has lots of advantages one of them being that new mods are developed on V3 not V2. You will find instructions on identifying your firmware in this this thread

Hi will this update work with the maps on a US Version deck being the X910BT?

Are there any differences between the F910BT and X910BT? such that does all the patches that apply to the F910BT apply to the X910BT?

Cheers

I have not had any experience with the X910BT. I am sure some searching will answer your question though

I have been performing 34by151's mods on a US version X910Bt here in OZ. I have stuck to all instructions with very little issues.

I am still sorting the BT issue with the modified skin though, as when i delete the items in the igo/save folder they reappear after reboot. MSN is not active but every so often it searches for a connection, i am assuming this is part of thie issue.

Otherwise the unit inc BT works flawlesly with the original skin with the last V3UPDATE03. mod copied over and the latest R17 maps. I have not changed SYS.TXT as Before and after the the mod there are at multiple sys.txt folders, two showing "PIONEER746EW", and two showing "PIONEER746UC". I Have not made any changes to any sys.txt folders as unit works perfectly so far.

And a quick thanks to 34by151 for his huge effort and prompt reply to posts.

I suspect you are using one of the early beta data.zip files.

Change back to one of the released versions, I have removed the beta's from 4shared as they are very old in terms of the skin development anyway.

Give the last V3update02 file a a try and this will not have the BT issue that the early beta had. also make sure you do not have the incorrect device line in sys.txt. Best ides is to run your standard sys.txt first the add in the extra lines from my one later on

The map update dies not change the skin in any way, just the maps

So it will have no effect on the BT functions at all

I downloaded from both the links above. then unrar them

Hi 34by151,

I've updated my unit and taken it for a spin and all is working perfectly...almost! The work you have done so far has been awesome and I can't wait to see what's next. New maps + new interface = Have you got a PayPal account or something I can make a donation to for all your work??

So, the last niggly problem I have is TTS. It started when I installed the v16 maps you uploaded a while back and unfortunately has followed with v17. The voice works fine and reads the standard text, but when it gets to reading the street name it gets a confused and starts speaking gibberish. I can make out the voice spelling TeleAtlas with a bunch of percentage signs and letters and so on. Has anyone had any success with TTS on v17? The map is definitely passing the street name so it must be the TTS engine which can't interpret the new way of receiving it. I've also tried different TTS languages including non-english ones and they all have the same problem. Any ideas on where to start looking to fix this? I know from reading previous posts that TTS uses the phoneme.ph and commands.csv but I'm not sure on what to do with these.

Also, would lowering the roadsign_lines_per_screen value increase the size of the signs? They appear fine but are a little small.

I had that issue previously too..!!

I have just updated to R17 and the "ball & chain" will no doubt let me know of it's progress

Very slick download though....Thanks a bunch..!!

I downloaded from both the links above. then unrar them

So onto step 3

Cheers

34by151

TTS voices do not work for the reasons you have found. It's actually an Igo problem. You have to use non TTS voices

Signposts display is controlled by the skin and can be altered by changing the settings in you sys.txt and the signpost.ini in the data.zip

Cheers
