Does the 3.0 Update for the F-Series have the "Heading Up" Option?

 

The Reason i ask is becuase when i have the navi on NOT navigating the MAP doesnt Rotate so show the Right direction in 2D mode it works in 3D but not in 2D

Personally, I think it's insane for them to try and charge $130 for the OS update, especially considering it fixes the fact that 2.0 was a poorly coded piece of garbage, and didn't have "Heading Up" in 2D (which was a baseline feature of my D3!)

 

I don't mind them charging for map data (though I think that too ought to be super cheap) and the "new feature" stuff of 3.0, but the fact is that the F-series owners subsidized Pioneer's development of a new line of nav systems by beta testing half-finished code and living with the frustrations that caused.

 

My less-than-1-year-old F90BT has totally stopped working now and I'm contemplating putting my D3 back in rather than the F90 at this point. I had always hoped/assumed that I'd eventually get the fix that allowed me to use my GPS map the same way my D3 worked but for $130? No thanks.

That isn't what they're charging for the F-series update.

 

It's $60 if you hop on board now. $120 after that.

Sorry if this question has already been asked, but is the v3 firmware upgrade going to be available for UK models? Or will the US version work on the UK models? Also is it possible to back the older firmware up before appling the new version?

Does anyone know if it allows labeling on the HD-Radio presets now? Right now, with my F90BT with 2.0, the HD presets are all blank--no station labeling at all. I use the P10HD.

I think, from what I remember reading, that there are still no presets. But that doesn't mean this thread should turn into a "omg Pioneer still didn't fix this! blahblahblah thread", because I can't remember for a fact.
