Has anyone got the 3D buildings and landmarks working in the new 3.0-3.0.1 like they worked on the Hacked 2.0. I have all the previous files that I tried to copy over but it didn't work. Is it that I need a hacked 3.0 ezrider and license file? These are so much better than the stock ones that come with the update.

I had a similar thread going here, but it was deleted... :roll:

 

Did you try installing building files for iGo 8.3? Or did you merely copy the ones used from 2.0 (iGo 8.0)?

I thought the building files for iGo 8.3 were already included with the hacked 3.0 update? I copied the ones from the hacked 2.0 of GTIMatt. I thought is was related to a hacked ezrider 3.0 or license file needed. Do you have the 8.3 building files?

No, it only included the default Landmark files for 29 states, D.C. and Canada. No building files were present. If you look around on this forum there is a link to some external sites that have the files for iGo 8.3.2 (i think thats the version) but I dont know if they will work with our EZRIDER or not. I have not had time to try them. Sorry I dont have the link handy, but search for 3d buildings or something, and I bet it comes up.

Which ones did you try? There appear to be 2 different building.zip files over on http://gpssoftware.us/ site. One is building.all.zip and the other is under the 2008.10 link, called building.2008.10.zip.

I just received 3.0 from pioneer and I am running it on my f500bt and landmarks works right out of the box.

I also get no 3D buildings. I have the US_Dem file, buildings_all file and hacked Ezrider 3.0, but no luck.

Had them working with v2.0, but lost it all with 3.01.

... Anyone had any luck?

i think you need the buildings that came with the maps you have in.

i think the 2009 ta maps dont work with the old buildings you have in the unit....maybe i am wrong

i replaced all..maps and buildings and it work just fine.i have the 2009 TA maps and buildings

Care to share where I can "buy" the ta 2009 maps? I've searched with no results.

What about a new .dem file for the 2009 maps? Is it also needed for it all to work?

 

Sure do appreciate it!!! :D

If that's true than its c**p really, because people who have US units in Europe wont be able to use it then? :cry:

You can use any building file. For 3DC you need hacked EZRider/license since Pioneer's license is for landmarks only...

Has anyone compared the different versions of the building files yet to see if one set is better than another? I'm currently using TA 2008.04 (igo 8.0) building files as I thought my 2008.10 ones were causing an issue (in fact it was a license file issue). But I did notice there were more files in 2008.04 than 2008.10, more states covered, so that leads me to believe that the old version is better from the get go.

Thanks chris555 for the link.

OK I have the 2009 maps, the 2009 buildings file, the 8.3 .dem file and the hacked Ezrider 3.0...but still only get landmarks and not all the 3D buildings like I had before I upgraded.

I think maybe the sys.txt also needs to be modded..

I'm using IDT 3.0 mod, so I know he tweaked the sys.txt for his mod. I found another sys.txt out there, but it crashed my unit, so I reloaded IDT's.

Does anyone have IDT 3.0 mod installed and 3D buildings working?

Any advise?

Thanks

it's working on mine, the building files i'm using are the old ones i used in 2.0, you have to have the asbis license for the buildings to show up

Posted Aug 27, 2009 · 14:54 UTC#19

thats true

i have 5 or 6 license files in mine....and i think i have the asbis one...

Looks like I could use some hand holding here...

I did a search for the asbis...no file

I did have all my old 2.0 files, but deleted all so I wouldn't be tempted to try to us them and mess up my 3.0 unit...not so smart?

Could you please share yours?

I should really put some superglue or something on that #$%#@! delete key!

Thanks for ALL your help!

When you quote a post, there is a tag just below the text box that says "upload attachment" or similar.

I cannot thank you enough! I'll give this a shot.

If I get the 3D Bldgs. to work, I'll have everything upgraded to 3.0 that I want. Only now, it's definitely better and faster.
