how do i switch between 2D, 2D head up and 3D map? I keep tapping the compass icon but it wont response. I tapped the 2 green square on the upper right corner and it sometimes switch but not all the time. What is the proper way to do this ? Thanks alot!

It works for me. You might need to calibrate your screen.

Agreed. Make sure you use the stylus that comes with the system when you do. You should be amazed at how light you have to touch things once you recalibrate.

Hey diaftia, I was wondering if it were possible to make the time to destination and miles to destination boxes a little bigger. I know there isn't much room to work with but they are so small I sometimes press the wrong one while driving. It looks like you might be able to shave a little off the top box.

 

Also, is it possible to make it say AM/PM for those of us who have it set to the 12 hour clock. It's not that big a deal, but it makes it easier to distinguish between distance and time at quick glance.

What I can do is make it so that the time to destination has an H, Min or Sec next to it for Hours, Minutes, Seconds. Because if the type of value the eta@destination is all I can do is make that have seconds after it. But that should hopefully help.

As far as making them bigger that is harder. That would involve making a new image for the background. I agree its not an ideal fingerpress. The only think I could do is remove the itinerary link and make the touch area bigger but that was added by request and I think it adds value.

Alex,

Looks Great!!! Finally the tilt stays where I leave it! I also love the new transparent turn box while route active. Lets you see more map and sky! Did you just leave the background box out? I love it!

Just two things...

1) In the NO MSN version, there is no mute or route cancel button. You must have dropped it. Doh!

2) What does the car in a circle that pops up with the tilt controls in 3D mode do or mean...Never had it with any other mods?

10/10/09:

1. Turn restrictions toggle with default of off

2. Tilt/Zoom controls in 3D mode

3. Smart Zoom settings now include toggle for on/off

4. Signposts option of on/off/while navigating only (Stanislavovich change that he made to his last set of mods)

5. Added version with no MSN.

Works great. Just loaded NoMSN version. No more smart zoom...

All of these mods you and IDT are making are just wonderful. I can't make up my mind which one I want to use. Keep up the good work and thank you all very much.

I am running noMSN version also and the stop and mute is there on mine.

I think Jmuenni must have it in full cockpit mode(under visual settings)If so you can press the next turn icon which will bring up another screen where you can,amongst other things,mute(or unmute)or delete the route.

I think you guys are running in different modes. There are two different mods of view for those with different preferences. That mode is switched in the Map display options and is called Full Screen Cockpit. That takes away the info box and puts in a smalller transparent one for the smaller navigation infos. Switching it off takes you back to my normal view.

In the full screen cockpit mode I have removed the nav mute and cancel buttons. To mute the route with relative ease just click on the large next turn icon/arrow. That will take you to the route avoid screen where there is a mute button at the bottom. Maybe I need to add a route cancel button there too. Otherwise to cancel the route just to go the Plan mode screen and click the route button or click the route button under the quick menu button and there will be the standard delete route button there.

Hope this helps...

Oh and the car with the circle around it near the tilt screen functions snaps you back to the GPS location since clicking on the map stops you from following the car/icon.

 

Hope this helps...

OK, so now I'm feeling kinda stupid! I must have hit cockpit mode without realizing it. It's all good now. Doh

As far as the car-in-circle icon..., hitting the map button (next to the menu button) on the unit does the same thing and it's what I've always used. But your icon certainly does the trick!

As before...can't thank you enough. You guys that are doing all this work are what makes the AVIC an awesome unit (Dpdurst included) Thanks for sharing your work!

Quick question, how do I swap between 2D and 3D map modes? The icon disappeared and I can't seem to find the settings in the menus or anywhere on the screen. Thanks.

Just press the compass icon at the top right of the nav screen.

Easy enough. Thanks. I was starting to miss the automatic overview mode.

How can I zoom in/out with the new mod?

How can I zoom in/out with the new mod?

use the large knob on the radio itself and click up or down.

Anyone else having a problem with testmode? Whenever I boot it up I get an error about MortScript.exe. When I click OK, it just freezes and I can't get into Windows. Any ideas?

Diaftia,

I have to say, GREAT JOB!!! I'm having one problem that I hope you or someone running a F500BT can help with. Everything is working perfectly so far with one exception, I have no voice guidance! All my settings are correct as far as I can see and I get the systems beeps in the main menus, even the voice activation works but still no voice guidance. Someone help please. I love this mod and don't want to go back to the stock version. Thanks for all your hard work Diaftia.

Thanks for the non-MSN version. Good work!

hmmmm, did you change your device type in the sys.txt?

You must have hit the mute button.

Good point. Let's start with the basics. Do you see a pair of lips with a no sign through them in the top left corner when navigating?

LOL, you were right diaftia....I just got done changing the device in the sys.txt (had forgotten to do that) and everything is working perfectly now....was coming back to reply to my own post and saw yours. Again, great mod, thanks to you and everyone else who created it. Keep up the good work!!!
