im having an issue with my navi with this mod, i downloaded everything you had a link too and i was using the 3.01 FW.. when im listening to my SD card music and i have it on the map, it lags like crazy.. especially trying to go to a diff song.. so for it to work properly, i have to press the menu button.. im guessing its something to do with the map screen itself? any ideas?

Yea depending on how many files you have on the SD card it could be a bit sluggish. I tried with 100 songs and its working fine. I stopped using the SD card because the more I put on it the worse things would get reading it. I moved to USB or SAT radio. Nothing I can do to the skin that would fix this problem.

Hi. I have downloaded new data.zip, sys.txt hacked ezrider. After copying to proper folders in Myflash I have small problem with keyboard display. Instead of normal size it is small and difficult to input anything without a stick. Maybe I did something wrong??? So please look at this picture and I hope you can explain this or give me any advice how to fix it to normal view. Best regards for all working on this project. I forgot to say that on emulator everything looks OK.

Copy back your original sys.txt and see if you have the same problem.

Sorry, doesnt work, same thing. One more thing, Problem is when inputing city & street name, I noticed that when it comes to input street number keyboard display size is normal. By the way I have avic f900bt EW version. I deleted DATA.ZIP and sys.txt. Put back originals & everything is OK. I also used Mattjunior DATA.zip and it was working without this problem. I write about it because I am simply curious what the reason might be :D .Looking forward for some more solutions to check.

I can't see anything I did on the main screen that would affect this. Go to the page listed below in the link and find the 10/27/09 update and download this data.zip and tell me if you have the same problem. This is what I based mine off of and if you do have the same problem not sure If I can fix that.

back-up and then delete User\UserData\iGo\save folder

Posted Oct 27, 2009 · 09:41 UTC#58

Hallo again. After deleting SAVE folder everything worked OK until I changed system settings. I am Polish so the first thing I did after restart was to change language to Polish. And here you are - keyboard is small again. To check if the language is problem I changed to some other languages and I think THIS IS IT. When switched to German, Engish or French keyboard size is OK. When changed back to Polish problem returns. As you see it is rather local problem, but I would be grateful if you try to fix it. I hope solving this will give you satisfaction and me happiness from full usage of your great mode. :D Still looking forward for your replay.

For full info I was using emulator with english language (my mistake not trying polish at the begining), that is why keyboard was ok. When I put polish language to emulator there was the same problem as in Avic. Now I changed in DATA.zip/ui_pionieer/800_480/ui file keyboards_800_480.ui with original from Pioneer latest firmware update & it is working Ok. :lol: Thanks for hints and replays.

Dave, what do i need to change in sys.txt to adjust the tilting? My guess is this: 3d_max_tiltlevel=10000 ?

 

If so, what's the value in yours to show the sky?

 

Thanks!

 

The current sys.txt has the info in it. Here is the specifics on what I changed/ Also in the 3D zoom settings in the unit I have 200/600 and tilt up/down is set for 90 on each

 

3d_max_tiltlevel=8500

3d_max_zoomlevel=3000

3d_min_zoomlevel=40

3d_max_zfar=2000

 

[smartzoom]

enabled="0"

minangle=86

maxangle=88

 

I think I'm doing something wrong. I changed these settings on my sys.txt but the view is still from too much top :)

 

we need it to be near to the ground to see the sky etc. The view angle has to be smaller I think but when I change the minangel maxangle values nothing happens..

I'll play with some settings tonight when I get home. Are you trying to get more sky or less sky? I know it would really help if Andr2000 could put a toggle in to use the 3d zoom controls so you could set the angle of the map it would make this alot easier. I'll see what settings I can come up with.

I've been already asked about this. But this is not as easy as it looks like. It is not enough just to add tilt controls.

Actual picture depends on 3D zoom levels you have. So, we have to add them too. But after all you can only see the final result while on a route or in simulation

Hi David,

 

Thanks for a a great mod. I followed your instructions and copied all the files, but the map screen doesn't show the sky. I tried running the route simulation, still no sky. Other than the stock pioneer red/blue schemes,I can't see any of your schemes either. Also, the time icon doesn't toggle as you mentioned. Other than that, most of the mods seem to work.

 

I am running unofficial 3.0 with 2009.6 maps on a F500BT. Any ideas what where the probelm might be.

 

Thanks in advance.

The latest data.zip should have the toggle working fine in navigation mode only, If your not in navigation mode there is not toggle.

 

Yea the schemes will show up, you need to make sure you unzip the main archive and then copy the schemes zipped into the scheme folder. If they are not showing up then either there not in the right place, the GFX folder is not in the right place or doesn't exist.

 

As for the sky, this is something that may be trickier to resolve. I had already setup original software using the 3d toggle to set the sky so I can see it, moving over to the new data.zip and sys.txt kept those settings. I have come to the conclusion that unless you start off with that setup then maybe trying to get to show with just the settings might not work.

 

I haven't messed with anything tonight, been busy racing with the wife on the Xbox 360. I'll get to it at some point shortly and work on it some more.

My bad. I copied the schemes file to IGo instead of IGo/content. Copied it to the rigth place and it is working fine now.

 

I have a Totom PND which shows time to destination, even if you are not naviationg. I assumed that it worked the same way in the AVIC also.

 

Once I selected the sky background, it showed up on the screen. Is this the way it is supposed to work? Or, does it change on it's own depending upon time/season/terrain?

 

Once again, thanks for a great mod. I really liked the expanded functionality, in addition to the expanded backgrounds.

Glad its working now. You have to change the schemes manually to see the different sky that show up.

 

Time to Destination when not navigating is not an option as the software has no clue what destination your going to when you have no route. There is however when navigating that option click on the clock under the current speed lower left corner, it will toggle between, clock, eta and ete.

Hi David.Any more tweaks on the way or do you think it's more or less as you want it?The only things which I think would improve things are.

1)More visible progress bar.

2)Spoken alert for speed cameras.

 

What do you think?Am I been too picky?Have always really looked forward to the updates but i guess you do reach a stage where you can't do any more.Thanks for all your work.

Well, yea I made what I think are few pretty cool changes, more eye candy than anything.

I moved the clock under the current speed and spruced up the cockpit for that, added an actual Satellite icon to the upper right corner and then added of course the world globe with sates on the satellite page. Did some other small stuff too.

 

Still thinking about the progress bar.

Clicking on time gives you date when not navigating

 

The spoken speed camera alerts are over my head right now. Plus with limited space on the flash disk I think you might end up running out of room

 

Thinking of different front end color schemes so like now I have the black cockpit and blue top and bottom. Thinking of doing some that are all blue, orange, green, black etc

Hi David,

Noticed on here viewtopic.php?f=34&t=28485#p196154 that there was a trip computer bar along the right hand side of the screen.Was this the original mod of what your latest mod is based on?If so can that trip computer be activated in yours?Just a thought. :)

I think all the trip computers are based the same, they just show the data a different way. Sure I could change the one In mine with some work.. Now an I going to? probably not.. why? something different... :)

Update posted, nothing fancy just some more tweaks.. everything on first page.. have fun

that globe looks neat, i think i'll steal it, :D

Go for it, take the little satellites too! LOL

Looks and works great. I have been using your mod for about a week now, just updated to your latest. Return to cockpit shortcut helps alot. Any possible way for a one button itenerary? Not a necessity, but would be nice.

Posted Oct 30, 2009 · 01:28 UTC#75

Looks nice David.

 

What's with all the greenery? All I saw in AZ last week was desert tan and a few golf courses scattered about. And even those weren't that great with the fall grass.
