Without a manual, I have no clue what some of the other settings are for.
Sorry, there is not a manual yet not only in english but also in russian or other ones, So the best way is to ask me direcly here, may be later it could be possible to assembler help from the posts.
Are you going to make more changes to it? If so, should I wait until all ofthe bugs are worked out? Thanks.
Hi!I have connected to the forum, so i'll try to give you direct support and fix bugs. sorry for my english, if you find not clear descriptions please give the best i'll correct them.
Dear Stanislavovich,
Thank you for joining us (thanks also for BorisM to contact him). Without discarding the very valuable work of other modders, your mod give me a clear step ahead in visibility due to the greater font size of the presented data as well as the now properly organized data presentation that help us (as drivers) to understand the information available as first shoot. I appreciate also that you have implemented new nice functionalities like multiroute.
On the other hand, and in order to take advantage of previous iGO8 800x480 skin designs, I recommend you to visit some pages like http://www.gurjon.com (I think that they are also russians). Maybe you can reuse some .ui or .bmp on your future work. They have also a downloadable manual on that you can base your own (if decide to issue it)
Regards (поздравлениÑ)
BUG- when the voice profile is clicked the gps restarts, not the unit but just the navi partPlease do not push that button, later I disable it. there is some internal interface with avic setup, so it crashes during standard function call. it only to see actual voice profile as I have setup it by ini file directly.
So I think it is not possible to manage voice and language profile through iGO interface, only by avic or by edit ini file.
Interestingly enough... When I first started the unit, after clearing the SAVE folder, it defaulted to Jason (US non-TTS voice). I was able to use this button to switch voice to Samantha (TTS). After that, clicking the button causes reboot...
Welcome Stanislavovich and thank you Boris for posting this and bringing your friend over as well. As we all know, not one zip will appease all (won't be long until we hear about the art stuff covering up the speed limit icon). I haven't been on much lately but when I saw this I just had to try it out. Now some of the members that have been on awhile know I have the portable unit, thus making it easier to test things out (especially during inclement weather).
1st impressions when I started this was WOW. Being that the unit I have is my first ever nav, I was lost. The more you play around with it the more you learn of it's abilities. This does some wonderful things that I had never seen.
I will be happy to point out error messages or recommendations for improvements as i become more familiar with it.
So far I've noticed the following:
1) I did receive the same error message IDT and Boris got from changing the TTS.
2) While in the Destination Menu we're presented with three options on the bottom - Exit, Settings and Cockpit. Pressing Exit will bring you to Top Menu, but you lose nav program in the process. It may be that I have the portable unit, but if someone with an in-dash would try it it would help Stanislavovich.
For those with the portable unit, you'll notice that there's no pedestrian option. Not a big deal in my book.
Route simulation and flyover does not have any option to pause, resume, slow or fast simulate. I know a ton of us worked hard with Boris' assistance to add that to our units.
Speed Limit stepping is in multiples of ten. Multiples of five is more appropiate for us in the US. That's an easy fix that should also be considered.
Please don't take my comments as criticisms. I look forward to helping as much as my abilities allow.
Thanks again - N-S-E-W

Funny, I don't even have those options from the Destination menu...
Adding the Pedestrian option should be straightforward -- just uncomment the Pedestrian button. Same with speed sliders. I believe you've changed it once before anyway.
Of course always best if the original author incorporates them in properly...
having a hard time figuring things out, anyone have extracted the block road scripts, i've went through all the ui's and found the scripts needed but can't make it work, since this skin is a reworked its's pretty hard to just cut and paste as most of the states and ui's re interlinked
Funny, I don't even have those options from the Destination menu...on the botton address right box you will also see menu in it, you can over look it.

The destination menu appears on my unit the same as it's shown in the destination.bmp from the screens.zip.

Simple to add, no doubt. I'll hold off making any changes for now. Still have a lot to learn of the functionality and point out any other types of errors that may occur from using it more. Wouldn't want any of my changes to cause an error. Doing so will probably make it harder to troubleshoot with the author. It's staying as is until an update is posted.

I agree that is best to let the author incorporate them in. This is a special zip. Adds much more functionality than I thought was possible.
Later on after the identified bugs are worked out I may try some things.

It's a whole new ball game that's for sure. I think I'll build off of this one later on.

I dont get those options either on the destination menu? Weird!

I am in contact with the author over at 4PDA.RU and a few things have been fixed already based on our feedback (since today isn't a holiday there, I am sure hew has better things to do than fix everything in the skin right now).
From what I understand, he is not a "professional" skin writer, like Gurjon or diMka, so he has no plans to incorporate every possible feature, only what he finds useful for himself. Still, once we have a debugged advanced skin for AVIC, it should be much easier to add personal mods to it...

As far as I could see so far, the magic is here:
map.ADD_ROADBLOCK is iGO's internal function to block the road segment (piece with the marker between two exits off the road). And mydata.blocked_roads is where the information is stored.

thanks for the info, still working on it right now but still have no luck,

We could always ask him...

already sent him a pm, just waiting for a reply,
1) I did receive the same error message IDT and Boris got from changing the TTS.
please do not try to change voice profile from here, it will work never. I wrote about the issue see my post upper.
2) While in the Destination Menu we're presented with three options on the bottom - Exit, Settings and Cockpit.
Please do not switch on "Test mode", it is only for debug and shows those buttons to allow me all navigation through the screens.
there's no pedestrian option.
I guess that the device is used usually in car... for what pedestian mode you need?
Route simulation and flyover does not have any option to pause, resume, slow or fast simulate.
really I never used that function. may be latter ...
Speed Limit stepping is in multiples of ten. Multiples of five is more appropiate for us in the US.
I am afraid that it will be not easy to manage the slider if there are a lot of point or it will be necessary to decrease the range. I do not know...
thanks for comments
in any case if you could send me the finished blocks of code to be inserted without destroying the main concept I do not mind to incapsulate it.
I guess that the device is used usually in car... for what pedestian mode you need?
N-S-E-W has the AVIC F-500 which is a portable unit, so it could be used while walking in the city. I doubt that many people actually do use a navigator for that, but it is a possibility.

It shouldn't be too bad... US speed limits can have 5 M/h spacing, but the maximum value is lower (what is it, 75 M/h in some Western states?)
We've added 5 steppings before, and it wasn't too much trouble. Although I wonder... how much trouble would it be to have separate sliders for miles and kilometers...
Another note: in camera overspeed settings, it always uses Km/h, even if miles are selected for units...

hard coded! I did not expect that my skin will be so popular 
About overspeed range - what range could you suggest: minus XX .... plus YYY (it seems minus is crasy, but it was in original one...)
Pedestrian.... I think it is not problem only to open in customizing, but also I have to check some validation in ui... it could take some time and additional test. I'll think but a little bit later, after fixing bugs and important requests.

you are right, I am not a writer, I am a driver, so I have written it to drive not to like it

Hmmm, not sure about the minus option, but I guess if someone finds it useful I'd say -5 to +15 would be reasonable.

So am I... I get enough coding at work...
This is likely a silly question, but should we modify the "preload.ini" file under the config directory at all to help w/ anything particular to where this is running?
I noticed it has a lot of european/etc items listed there and was wondering if that should be caterred towards where the gps is running.
I.E. - tell it to preload our area/etc -- I am still trying to learn/understand how iGo works/etc
thanks,
Ben

I think this has been discussed before. You can edit it if you want to, but it should not affect anything. US units do not have an European mapping data on them, so there's nothing to preload either way.
Guys,
how do I install this mod!!! do I just have to copy data.zip in my avic900bt... and nothing else... how will it take speedcam database.... plz explain!!!

yes, just like any other mods assuming you already have an updated sys.txt, make sure you back up your stuffs

And if it does not work, clear out SAVE folder in USER\UserData\iGO. Keep a backup in case you want to revert to your previous skin.
