Everything is working correctly now. Had some QA assistance this time too (thanks N2Deep). Sorry to those that had the hassle of upgrading to find bugs. I am going to pace things from now on and release less often with more testing. In a nutshell I am going to take N-S-E-W's advice (lesson learned).

 

Links in the first post updated.

you could only check so much right, it's not like PIONEER update that you have to pay, i think it's always better to have a couple more set of eyes,

Really great mod, I like it a lot... I just got 1 trouble when navigation is on:

See the number "3" not inside the image... Is it a known bug or a problem related to my unit?

F-900BT with Firmware is 3.1 and the folder "APL2" is brand new with your files inside (just the sys.txt modified to EW because i'm in Italy)

Thanks,

Z.

Diaftia,

what would it take to have the street numbers showing? Or is there a shortcut that I am not aware of?

Thanks

Mark

Intersesting. Havent seen that one. Let me see if I can reproduce. Is it always there when navigating or only under certain conditions?

Hey Mark- Its something I am looking to add just haven't done it yet. Do you want to do this or sit tight till I get it in?

Thanks,

Alex

navigating or only under certain conditions?

Whenever there is that roadsign during the navigation. It's not important if you have to exit on the second, third or N... the number is always not aligned with the image

Thanks again,

We dont have many round-abouts here in the states. I will see what I can do on that.

What I am seeing is the speed limit sign but the number, 70, as I saw today is right on top of the word speed limit. It needs to be moved down. Any thoughts?

Do you have the latest update? That was one that was done a couple days ago. Please grab the latest one and let me know if you still see a problem.

Thanks for the response on the street numbers. It would be great to have and I do rely on it with work. It it can be done expeditiously that would be great, but I am in no means asking you to do ASAP if it requires alot of coding.

Thanks for caring.

I was wondering if someone could put instructions on how to just add the trip computer. I would love to add this mod. Thanks

I was wondering if someone could put instructions on how to just add the trip computer. I would love to add this mod. Thanks

I would just do a search on it. There is a thread dedicated that has specific detailed instructions on how to add it in. I even referenced it back in this thread when someone asked for help on adding it to their default config.

Changes in this release (8/26/09)

1. Enlarged the main menu drop down button so it does not take such a small fingernail tip press to activate.

2. Since the main drop down button is larger made it so that it is slightly transparent when not in use.

3. Changed last row of buttons to be more of a systems settings row. Changed the main icon to reflect this.

4. Added a screen off button with a clock that matches the font used system wide.

5. Added house numbers in same font. They will display automatically when in route. To get them to display when not in route touch the clock.

6. This mod is now scheme friendly. Put your schemes in your gfx/day or night folder and they should work.

EDIT:

Links updated on page 1

Did the data.zip that you pm'd me have the house number mod with it? I don't remember.

I confirm the roundabouts bug with this version too, apart from that the mod is perfect for me

Is that number that is showing up always a three or is that the distance to the roundabout?

It's the number of the exit of the roundabout you have to take (second = 2, third = 3 and so on)

I am as green a newbie as they come. Bought my F90 BT a few months back with v2.0, and just updated the software and maps this past week I just knew there had to be a way to improve on this thing. Voila, here it is.

This must be my new home for the next 6 months.

I read some of the cautions. Does anyone have a step by step guide for someone as green as me to do all of this (including files or their locations)?

Much obliged.

Hey Lou-

Welcome to the board. Its been my crack for the last several months.

If you download the zip file in my first post there is a word document with detailed instructions on how to update these files on your system. Whatever you do just make sure you take a backup of your current (stock) config before you touch any files. If all else fails and you do not like what is going on with your system then you can just restore that backup and start over again.

Good luck!

Alex

Thanks Alex -

Perhaps I wasn't clear. I am a real green newbie...

Is the FLASHDISK the update I just received, or something else (not sure where I put all of the original documentation)?? Do I create this on an SD card?

Step 4 - The sky only shows when you change the tilt level in 3D right?

I can hardly wait to get home and try this!

THANKS!

Take the contents of my zip file you downloaded in post #1 and put these folders/files onto a freshly formated SD card. Insert the SD card into your AVIC and go to step 1 in the first post.

If you want to have the sky mode show in 3D mode go into the sys.txt file in the download and remove the semicolon in front of these lines in that file (do this on your PC):

[map]
2dheadup=1
zoomfactor=110
3d_tunnels=1
show_oneway=1
;3d_max_tiltlevel=10000 
;3d_max_zoomlevel=1500 
;3dcarsizemin=2500 
;3dcarsizemax=5000 
;3dcarsizemul=15000 

It will then look like this:

[map]
2dheadup=1
zoomfactor=110
3d_tunnels=1
show_oneway=1
3d_max_tiltlevel=10000 
3d_max_zoomlevel=1500 
3dcarsizemin=2500 
3dcarsizemax=5000 
3dcarsizemul=15000 

Save the file and make sure that new one you edited is in place on your SD card before putting it into your AVIC. The folder it goes into on your SD card is: "Copy and Paste in APL2-iGo". Once its on your SD card copy it over to the unit, per the instructions, with the rest of the files.

FYI- House numbers are showing reversed which is fixed. If I can get a fix for the out of place # in the round about I will post a new file soon.

I am running a US F90BT with the official update. Just downloaded your mod compilation, and instructions are excellent, even for the nooB I am. I had played a little removing the clock and the compass and moving a few buttons prior to this, but that was the extent of it. I also followed another post on how to fix your contacts list. I love what I have seen so far, but have not had a lot of time to play with it. One thing I am missing is the Speed Limit sign. I have the "Your Speed" sign and the elevation when not in route, but do not have the speed limit sign. Is there something that I have missed (or have not taken the time figure out) to turn it on?

Head out onto a highway or do a planned route that goes onto a highway and do a fly over. That is when the sign appears. Depending on your location it probably wont appear on all roads. It only appears if the map data has a value for it. So if the map data knows what the speed limit is on that street/highway the sign will show up. Otherwise it goes away.

I was on a route, and it included the 10 freeway which is a major freeway in southern California. I will try it on a longer route tonight on the way home. I know I am going to hate myself for asking this, because I have seen it before, but can't remeber how (the unit is till new to me)...how do I do a "flyover"?
