Thx for the correction "planmode not properly going to location". I found also that this bug is also on the poi screen.

Is this bug corrected in version #3 ?

yes

Well I am sticking with this version for the time being, dont think I will have time to get version 3 going and tested befor my long road trip. One question thats been nagging me for a while, and I thought I had it fixed, am I not able to get the elevation sign to read in feet at all times? I've installed the alt-mod'ed EZRIDER but I'm sitting here at about 860 feet above sea level and its reading 0.2 miles. Is there something else I need to change?

try changing the textmodel on the elvation to gps.elevation instead of navigation.current_altitude.number_text, not sure on how i missed that

know which file I need to look in for that?

*edit*

think I found it, navigatemap.ui ? I was searching for the whole string in each file and didnt find it, but then searched for just "current_altitude" and located it in a few spots.

it's in navigatemap_800_480.ui in the 800_480 folder

Oops, thats the one I meant. Do I need to change it down in this spot too:

So far, I changed it in this section only:

;ELEVATION

Also, do you have a suggestion on a good font size for the elevation? 26 (or was it 28) is too big, I'm going to try 20 next, but if you knew what size would work best in that box, it might save me a few trips and flashes.

you could change that one too, regarding the font size, i'm not sure what the best size would be

Oh I just looked on page one at your screen shots, and see the issue. Mine is displaying "880 ft." (or maybe it was "880 feet") and yours just has the digits (in this case it would be "880"). How do I fix that?

not sure how to make it show the units,

I actually want to hide the units. Maybe I messed something up on my editing, I will recheck it all and re-flash it.

*update* I re-did the mod to the navigatemap file, and repackaged a clean data.zip, uploaded to my car, erased saved data, and while NOT navigating, I get units displayed which extends outside the graphic. Example: "816 ft". In your image on the first page, there is no units being displayed (that I can see). Any ideas on how to fix it to hide the units? The other option would be to shrink the font down enough to get it all in the box, and I might play with that, but I think its going to have to be very small font.

So you can see what mine is doing compared to your's in the first post:

For now I guess I will play around with a smaller font to get it all inside the sign border, but if you figure out what I need to change to make the "ft" go away, let me know please. Thanks again for all your hard work on these mods!!

Mine is also NOT portraying the units as you can see:

So, either one of two things, Either it is just on your machine (which I doubt), or it is because me and IDT are Canadians and we use KM/M instead of MPH/FT, which may not show the units. Therefore, the fix would be in the unit switch and NOT in the elevation reading

So, either one of two things, Either it is just on your machine (which I doubt), or it is because me and IDT are Canadians and we use KM/M instead of MPH/FT, which may not show the units

Is there somewhere else that units get changed besides in the UI on the Regional settings page? I tried all 3 settings there (KM/M, Mi/Y, and Mi/Ft) and each time I got units displayed (M, Y, or ft).

Let me ask this, a particular scheme wouldnt affect that would it? I really dont know what else to look for.

Wow, that is weird, you can try to change the scheme, but I dont think it should make any difference, but that DOES seem to be the only difference

i think it has something to do with the textmodel being used, when not navigating it's using

navigation.current_altitude.number_text

and when navigating it uses

gps.elevation

as you can see, the first one has .number_text, not sure if you could add that at the end of gps.elevation

Adding .number_text to the end of gps.elevation makes it disappear completely, so I guess that means it doesnt like it. I guess for now I will just reduce the size, and try and position it inside the sign borders until a different solution is found (if one is).

To rule out one other thing, I am using the EZRIDER from this post: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=27989 (ezrider_alt_mod.zip). Thats the correct one right?

I live in the US and i have never see that "ft" on mine.

So a suggestion would be deleting the igo folder and start fresh again. Just do one mod at a time! (Do a Backup just in case)

I did some more testing. Went back to a clean data.zip and did not change the elevation to gps.elevation. In KM/M mode, it displayed in meters, without an "m". The same held true for Mi/Yards, it did not show a "y". With Miles/Feet selected, it would display the number of feet without "ft" up to around 820, at which point it would switch over to 0.2 (miles) with no units.

Then I tried it with the gps.elevation in the file, and it would display feet digits just fine, never switching to 0.2 miles or whatever, but "ft" was always there.

So I am thinking its something to do with the altered ezrider.zip maybe? As that was altered to display feet for elevation always (or at least up to several thousand feet). I will note, that when the system was showing 0.2 miles, if you view the GPS status page, the elevation there was displayed in feet.

See my post above this one. If you didnt change your navigatemap.ui file to have the gps.elevation field instead of navigation.current_altitude.number_text then you wont have "ft". My guess is that you are either seeing 0.2 (or above) miles, or live at an elevation below 820 feet or so which will correctly show the number of feet, without "ft". I'm trying to get it to show something like "3240" (if I should drive to that elevation).

With the standard hacked ezrider using gps.elevation as the text model, the elevation will display in feet up to 5279 feet. It then switches to 1 mile XXX ft.

Any text model using altitude the unit will display feet up to 879 then it will switch to tenths of miles, ie 0.2, and so forth.

IDT or anyone,

On sys.txt, I have it to read map from Sd card. Everything else has to be on the HU for it to work.

How Can I have igo read the entire content from sd? (POI, Building, Dem, Scheme, etcc)

Should I stated on the sys.txt?

something like:

[POI]

1=",POI, \Storage Card\iGO,\My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo,"

please see quote from BORISM

Another thing, mostly for fun...

 

If you put

content="Storage Card\IGO\Content"

 

in the [folders] section of sys.txt and copy content folder form th? flash disk, you can run iGO with data off of the storage card... rather handy if you want to experiment with different maps, schemes etc.
