I've been using this mod for a couple of days now, and you'll love it. The main screen is 'clean.' Nothing unnecessary on it. I like it! The extra screens for a speedo & cruise dials are great. As I have a car speedo that's in km (bought in Canada) and spend pretty much equal time in the U.S. and Canada, it's great. The car reads km, the nav gives me a nice large mph. Thanks Alex! There seems to be great functionality with this mod. Everyone enjoy.
Wow Diaftia, this looks unreal. I can not wait to throw it on my machine at lunch and play around with all the great mods.

Thanks Keeper! I appreciate it. I have just been expanding on your great work.
I have found one bug where the distance in the speedometer for the camera is in there twice. Other than that its pretty clean. Putting up a new version in a few minutes.
Version updated. Everything should be working.
I have one report about TMC events not working. Given I am not sure what that is I need to do some investigation. If anyone has input on what this is I would be happy to look into it. I have run across the config files but have done nothing with them.
Is this last version connected to the 09/14/09 links??
Hey Diaftia, very great mod!!! I use it for a few days now and I like it very much - won't miss it again!
But now I've seen, that there is a new release of it and here comes my problem:
I'm from germany, so I use a modified Version of your skin! But I don't always want to aks the guy who modded it, to do it again, if there is a new release!
Could you please post a "How-Tom" with what I have to do / change to use your mod in Germany / EU!
I (maybe) found a bug in my german version - the speedcam voice is still english and not german - is there a way to fix it? Or does it use different voices than the navigation voices? And could this speedcam voice be set a bit less noisy?
Can you tell me, where to find the pictures of the roadsigns? I would like to have the arrows on the roadsigns, that show the lane to choose, in green, not in white! (Path / Filename?)
What icon do I have to change, if I want a 3D-car instead of the arrow in 3D-mode? (Path / Filename?)

Not sure I follow, what is your question?

All of the audio files for the speedcam voice are in the Audio folder in the data.zip. They are the OGG files. I guess you would have to find German versions of these files. Regarding the volume of the voice, it looks like IDT has added a voice volume slider as of recently. Or at least is planning on it. I will look into it.
Can you tell me, where to find the pictures of the roadsigns? I would like to have the arrows on the roadsigns, that show the lane to choose, in green, not in white! (Path / Filename?)
In the ui_pioneer\common directory I think you want these files:
signpost_template_bg.bmp
signpost_template_border.bmp"
signpost_template_fade.bmp
What icon do I have to change, if I want a 3D-car instead of the arrow in 3D-mode? (Path / Filename?)
in the ui_pioneer\common directory you want to change daycar.bmp and nightcar.bmp to whatever images you want to use.

Sorry. You said you made an update tonight. Is it downloadable with the links related to 09/14/09? Because there is no new link in the 1st post this evening...
Thanks

I did update the links in the first post. They look the same but they are new. 
I will put an updated time on them.
Thanks,
Alex
Thank you very much for that information!
How about the changes (roadsigns / speedlimit /etc) to use the whole mod in EU / Germany?

By roadsigns I guess you mean signpost signs that show on the freeway? If so, those are the three signpost template bmp's I posted.
As far as the speedlimit, current speed and elevation bmp's those are speed.bmp, your_speed.bmp and elevation.bmp in the common folder.
Nice job!
I stopped using the gurjon skin for the time being. I'll like to this one out as well as IDT's. Currently I'm playing with the 3.0 version of Stanislovich's skin converted by andr2000. There's a few surprises in there as well.
Very Impressive!
Great work!

From the instructions we are told what to do if we want black backgrounds (I prefer the black). To change the speedometer screen the instructions are fine. To change the Cruise Dial screen, this is what it says:
A) As with the speedial screen the background is easily customizable. Black background and OSX Aurora included as default. Open the data.zip and edit the tripdial800_400.ui file. The instructions are clearly marked for editing. Black background is included. If you want this over the Aurora then comment it out with a semicolon and and remove the semiconol from the Back backgorund line.
What it should say is: ...and edit the DestinationDial_800_480.ui.
Just thought I would let everyone (inc Alex) know.
First of all thank you very much for your hard work on this little project. You make my AVIC an amazing machine! I have a question and a request. I like to have the elevation on the screen... must be the pilot in me... anyways I live in Canada and we use KM for distance, but I know no one who uses elevation in meters! Is there any way to have the navigation to be kept in metric and have the elevation in feet???
Thanks and all your efforts are appricated!

Thanks Harvey- good catch. Will update the instructions.

The values are pulled from a system variable. Then (in the case of the speedo screen) there is an added unit of measurement value. All that simply does is display the unit of measurement (feet, miles; meters, kilometers). The main value is set based on the system setting. What you are asking is to make one of them static in a different measurement and I am just not sure that is possible. Someone with more skills than I can chime in here if I am wrong. It's possible there could be a value to read in a specific measurement I am not aware of.
Hello,
Just tried this last one : very fine and easy, I like this very much.
Maybe some remarks (not so important but...)
- As I'm in Europe, the only button very needed in the MSN submenu isthe TMC one. All the others are not really useful, as we don't have MSN services in Europe... May be an european version with just the TMC button in place of MSN sub menu??
- The speedcams visuals are in the background of the highway signposts, so we can't read them. I think (not sure) you're working on this, may be IDT system is not the best one, I prefer the smalls speedcams icons from the original pioneer...
- Every boot up, I have to tell the system to sound for speedcam, this setting is not memorized by the system
But except this, your mod is very good and easy to uses, thanks!

Regarding the sound for speedcams do you ever mute the speedcams by touching the red alert box on the map? When that little icon shows up and you bring it back up it resets things. Just trying to get a clearer description on what is happening.
I think the speedcams need some work. I believe IDT has done some improvements and its time to update.
Thanks for the feedback I will look into them.
Alex
This may have been covered somewhere else before, but what do I have to do to change this? This is the monopoly scheme and the arrow is black. I used 2 modified versions of this and they still look the same.
Thanks,
Mark
He Diaftia,
I love the Multi Route function. Is there any directions out there on how to add just that?
Thanks,
Bryan

To enable and disable that arrow is in the sys.txt:
[2d]
show_guidance_arrows=1 <-- change to a 0 to remove it.
Not sure how do change the color. I would imagine that is in the scheme someplace.

It actually took a ton of file editing to do. Off the top of my head it was the added multiroute.ui file and the multiroute800.ui file, the editing of the main.ui file, the browsemap.ui file, the variable_def.ui file, favorite.ui file and all the supporting images. Took about 3 hours to do. Literally it was trial and error. This time I started with Gurjon's mods though and used IDT's as a frame of reference for certain things.
You will also then need all the images with AJG in them in the 800_480 directory that are referenced in the multiroute800 file.
If you want it right now what I might suggest is looking at my older versions and diff'ing the files above in the newest one. Otherwise I will try to do that and post some official directions up in a new thread that can be added to the wiki/faq.

Not suprised it's a lot of work. it loos great. Posting directions would be appreciated. Thanks,
