Is the process of updating he arrows for 8.3 the same as what's done for 8.0

 

I really just ended up taking somebody's data.zip file, and replaced the images in them (but am debating trying to do the right changes in the ui files as well)

 

Thanks,

Ben

I would also like to change the arrow as well?

for 3d - I am able to show the custom car image, but the arrow is still showing.

 

What I've done so far is:

1. Update the data.zip w/ custom car image.

2. In the navigatemap800_480.ui - add a sprite that has the image outside the screen view space.

3. update the navigate.ui (in common folder) to either place the car image at the right y position - or off the screen space (where it's initialized in the navigatemap800_480.ui).

 

The only issue I have is the 3d arrow still shows w/ the car image. Does anybody know how to eliminate the arrow in that mode?

 

Will investigate further - figured I would give an update.

Thx,

Ben

 

Edit: forgot one step - I updated the [map] section in the sys.txt to have:

3d_scale_carmodel=1

3dcarsizemin=3500

3dcarsizemax=5000

3dcarsizemul=10000

I tried changing the 2D arrow to a bmp by just replacing the files but it doesn't seem to work. I rezipped the DATA.zip file and put it on my head unit, and now when I hit map, it just reboots.

 

These are my files:

Those are pretty much the steps I took - maybe I'll try that exact configuration for the sys.txt - but the rest of the steps are what I did for the above post...
