I gots a question though...can anyone tell me what the icons in the middle-left of the screen that pop up are?

 

Here is a pic of one below, I also get like a "no left turn" or "no right turn" icon randomly, but i know they don't apply to the streets i am on, because they don't necessarily come up at any intersection or turn off and when it does you can def tell it doesn't apply to that intersection (ie: you CAN turn left or right).

 

 

Also is trip computer supposed to store data between power cycles? When I turn my vehicle off and back on, it seems trip data starts over, but it seems it would be possible to make it preserve the data as speed logs are preserved between power cycles. does anyone know? or maybe mine is messed up and its supposed to?

 

thanks!

I'm sure the arrows etc are turn restrictions and i think they are provided by the map provider ie Teleatlas or Navteq.Try turning them off in visual settings to see if they go away..

They are turn restrictions, and map data is (usually) correct. This particular build of iGO, however, displays them pretty much randomly (there must be some system to it, but we haven't discovered it so far).

I added an option to turn it off on mine and defaulted it to that. You might want to do the same if you haven't.

Just wondering what the white circle is for, next to the mph. Is this where the speed limit will display. If so, it does not show up, maybe because I'm using Navteq maps.

Thanks

Yep its for the speed limit and if not showing up its due to the maps.

Updated the data.zip with the Dec 02, 2009 changes from Andr2000.

This pretty much is the end of the mods I am doing for the unit. Enjoy.

Hi

I apologize for my language .... I'm from Polish.

Will you help me change the cursor (arrow) to cursor (car VOLVO S80 (BLACK))

-currently this has the subaru impreza rally car as the default 3D car

to change the 3D arrow to a car model

download the 3DCars.rar file on the download link provided and extract it

and you have to edit the sys.txt

change the current values of this

Code: Select all

3dcarsizemin=2500

3dcarsizemax=5000

3dcarsizemul=15000

to this

Code: Select all

3dcarsizemin=5000

3dcarsizemax=8000

3dcarsizemul=30000

and add this part to the [3D] section

Code: Select all

car_day=hot_rod_red.mdl

car_night=hot_rod_red.mdl

ghost_day=hot_rod_red.mdl

ghost_night=hot_rod_red.mdl

you now have to transfer the desired carmodel and tex file to the gfx folder in the data.zip and change the names of the above code to your selected car model name, i haven't tested every car model out as i already like the hot_rod car, but it's just a trial and error thing

Here is the awesome Stanislov/Andr2000 v3.0 setup with a new front end to it. I love the new changes they have done for 3.0, but never liked having the big screen on the left of the main screen when not navigating so as you can see below in the screen shots I have done some modifications. Current screen shots below show non-navigate and navigate mode of operation.

 

Not sure where its going next... gonna play some XBOX with the wife for a bit.

I'll update the newest Andr2000 as soon as I see if some more updates come out.

 

 

Currently uses the Dec 2, 2009 Andr2000 change

 

 

3/15/10 update

1. Click and hold the bottom street sign causes screen to black out

2. Click and hold Time during non-navigation toggles date and time

3. Other fixes by Andr2000 for this version

 

10/29/09 update

1. Next and Current street backgrounds match with transparency

2. Clock moved under speed, new cockpit background

3. Satellite icon upper right corner (sat dish shows status sat dish shows status) when no navigation,

And 2 vertical bars when navigating

4. GPS screen has globe with satellites around it now color of sat wings show status

5. Fixed MPH readout so when using Kilometers it will change to KM/H instead

6. Return to Cockpit button is on the map plan screen left side

 

A. New ezrider.exe that should now show correct altitude in feet up to 21120 feet

 

10/21/09 update

1. Added route progress bar when in navigation mode and also will show up same place during simulation mode. Upper right of screen white/black bar and orange icon moves from left to right. To enable go into visual settings and advanced settings toggle on or off

 

10/19/09 update

1. New icons added for street and next waypoint and also GPS on the screen

2. Top and Bottom for street and next street show more details

3. Street on bottom if to much is on the line it will animate and scroll

4. Added new speedwarn icon that is bigger

5. Freeway signs are now smaller and don't take up so much room. Don't overlap icons on right

 

10/14/09 update

1. Fixed the issue in navigation mode, clicking on the clock or time under the speed will toggle through 3 settings, current time, eta to destination and ete to destination

2. More alignment fixes in the cockpit detail screen

 

10/13/09

1. Time format when not navigating moved to top right with new background. This hides when speed cam warning fires off and shows distance instead and also hides when you have a route running.

2. Added GPS screen access by clicking on top right of screen where GPS icon is. This works only when GPS icon is present.

3. Removed big Cockpit on left of screen during non-navigation modes and added small speed and speed limit screen that matches and lines up with main cockpit during navigation mode

4. Added my shortcut icons across top of screen with new icons.

5. Changed icons on right of screen to new picturs

6. Added delete route and new mute speaker icon when route is present

7. Added shortcut to access day and night mode schemes easier.

8. All icons fade out after a few seconds. Compass does not.

9. Clicking on the speed icon still brings up the cockpit mode display and I have positioned the readouts vertically to be more inline with each other.

ovalball, I haven't put this theme in yet (but I will be in the next 48 hours!) and am still running on the unofficial 3.0 FW but would like to change the arrow to 3d cars. I couldn't find this code in the sys.txt file but I did find it in the pioneer.ini file. Is that where the settings need to be changed? Mine currently looks like this...

3d_scale_carmodel=1

3dcarsizemin=2150

3dcarsizemax=2150

3dcarsizemul=40000

...and of course there is no [3D] section as you mentioned. Should I just wait until after I install this theme or is it easy to explain how to install 3D cars on the stock 3.0 FW?

Thanks for your help!

This is an outstanding interface upgrade... and my favorite!

it's very clean and usable, plus it's fast.

just make sure you only load the maps you need for overall system performance.

This is one of my favourite mods.If only we could incorporate it into Avicnet.I would be one happy 411er!

I have to disagree with putting Avicnet into it. I tried running the Igo Primo and was VERY dissapointed. The Avicnet seems to be close to the same ordeal. What this does is incorporate all the old crappy nav systems that are on sub $99 systems and puts them on the Avic. All these old nav systems do not compare to the updated modded Systems that we have running here. I had a buddy in my car for the first time and he said that my Avic (with my Abb 5.0) was the best looking NAV system he has ever seen in a vehicle. If I would have been running the Primo that I was before, he would not even have noticed as it looks and operates the same as any sub $99 external Nav system out there. I was initially going to put TomTom in with my 5.0. I tried it for a week and was depressed at how Generic the TomTom system looked that I deleted the file and thought, why would I be going backwards by putting a 10 yr old program into my Avic, with few, if any changes graphically.

Hello abb1 I agree with you has strength to play the sorcerer's apprentice they are going to break them

Youre probably right Abb.However after all the fantastic efforts by Ryar(still ongoing?)I am happy to stay with it until things are at thier optimum.If not we have all the fantastic mods which yourself,Chuck,IDT,Diafita,DPDurst, and many others to rely on.I am just happy that this forum is still going and welcome any new ideas.Some may work and some wont,but that is better than a dead forum IMHO.

I agree with you totally! Ryar has done an excellent job keeping the interest in this forum going with the Primo and Avicnet (it is just not for me), as it has sparked interest into this forum and kept it rolling. Unfortunately, I think that these mods are at their limit now. I may however, get back into modifying the Avic graphically again, once I get really bored with my V5,0

Edit: Comments removed. Ovalball is right, as he usually is. It is the holidays and there is no reason to bicker.

As a user,rather than a modder,I love the Avicnet interface.I accept that there was ,and in certain aspects,still are teething troubles with it.This is the reason why I will always be more than happy to try things out on my european unit which will hopefully be of some assistance to the real stars of this forum,the modders.Unfortunately some stars see thier status as more important than others....but thats life!I hope we can all carry on together and continue to make Avic411 a great site to visit,and contribute.They may well be other potential stars out there itching to put thier ideas forward.Lets not put them off by letting this forum develop into a war of words.It is Christmas after all,good will to all men and all that.

Got to completely disagree with the sentiments expressed here. Ryar's work with Primo and then Avicnet are the only developments keeping this subforum alive. They also happen to be by far the most professional looking mods dragging our units somewhere up-to-date in terms of graphics, UI and general usability. The old Pioneer interface and map display is verging on embarrassingly dated if you have anything approaching a modern car. Unfortunately most mods just add layers of visual and functional confusion.

Stanislavovichs' Mod is almost certainly the best that has been done for the Avic. These other mods have no visual finesse - a mix of fonts, some garish, some at times unreadable, and icons/symbols that have been culled from various sources and have no common theme or fluidity. And way too many toys/gimmicks that, if played with whilst driving, would cause even more unneccessary accidents.They each have certainly taken up lots of time but I see the end results and think even the stock version is better.
