actually, i don't know how useful that speedcam file i shared is, i loaded it onto the nav in the "proper" way and then what ended up in the folder was:
speedcam.spdb
speedcamupdates.spb
SpeedcamUpdates.spud
so not quite sure on the whole thing, are spud files and spdb files generated by the system?

.SPDB -- generated by the system from the camera .TXT file. Same content as the TXT file, just compressed/optimized for iGO's use.
.SPUD -- cameras manually entered/edited through iGO interface itself.
ohh right thats interesting, with the official speedcam download there was just an spb file no text files so not sure how its managed to generate that one...
Wow great mod!! I been away since updating to 3.0 in september and you guys made some huge progress.
I have a few questions though, what happened to the 'simulate route' button or 'flyover' options?
I ask because i have building files from 2.0 dated 8/09 and 1/09 but I only see landmarks when i zoom out and back into chicago area. I'm wondering if its because i'm zooming rather than simulating.
BTW I just copied my older building files to the buildings folder.
Is it ok for me to do the 2009.6 maps upgrade after installing this mod or should that have been done first?
I am having a strange issue with the latest version. Occasionally when the unit turns on it shows the loading screen (like it normally does), the XM screen appears then it flashes back to the booting screen for a second or two and the screen goes blank. Usually, if I wait long enough the destination menu of the gps shows up, except it shows an MSN Direct button (I have the version w/o MSN). If I click the screen it selects something on the XM screen.
At this point, either I can just press the back button and everything is ok, other times it stays on the XM screen with the top bar missing and I can't switch to anything else (I can control the XM though). The only solution is a reboot.
WTH is going on? I don't even know if it was this latest update or if it has to do with the XM addon I just purchased. Also, when I select destination normally the MSN direct doesn't show up.
That is something specific to your unit. Depending on what mods you have done in the past things can start acting weird. If all else fails you can restore to an original config then load my mods again. I would start with deleting the save files and see how it behaves.
I think this is a avic thing my 900 did before doing any mods. Normally just waiting a min then tapping the screen brings it back to normal.
Beautiful job Diaftia, this is a very professional product you have crafted.
My F900 update went without a hitch, and it breathes new life into the unit.
I love it!
I Love the new version, but I have a small problem that I just noticed...
What would keep the trip computer from functioning properly?
I press the time and the trip icons pop at the bottom of the screen however only the current speed is working...with or without a route. Please assist if possible.
Thx... 
Alex,
can you add a shortcut button to save your current location. I think with garmin you can press the red arrow and add your current location as a poi or favorite.
I do have to say - it's again a wonderful addition. I came home yesterday and found 15 or 20 pages of new posts. Went through them all, even the ones with references to European units. I thought the 'opaque' wording was for a reason, but I'm glad to see it changed to the correct 'transparent.'
I downloaded and I installed this version this morning. After a short 20 mile drive around, it's GRRREAT! Everything so far seems good. I'll advise if I find anything of interest that should be looked at. Again Alex, thanks.

You need a license file to go along with the building files. They wont just appear by adding them in. You also need the license.
To simulate a route you have to have one programmed in. Then you go to the quick menu and click route > route From there you will see a simulate and flyover options with replay controls.
You can do the maps at any time as long as you have the hacked ezrider.exe and associated license file. In all cases remember to add the license file and never replace it.

Glad you like it. Gives the ol' AVIC some additional flair.

This is a known problem not associated with the mods. From what I can tell its a Pionner/iGo thing. Do some searching and you will find a few threads on it. Long story short is nobody knows why it happens. Mine does it but there are several people whose work fine.
Alex,

Its a little deeper than that but its in the quick menu under POI then info. That is the screen to add anything from current location. If you want to add something specific search from the plan mode screen and add it there.

thanks for the response, I have the license file and the hacked ezrider. The maps loaded with no problem, but i still dont have the outlined buildings just the landmarked ones. For instance i said in another thread, that chicago still only shows me a few buildings around wacker dr such as sears tower.
I dont want to hijack the thread so could you help me here?
I just tried the latest mod and I have to say it is great.
The text on the main screen is easier to read. The split screen is cool too. When I checked it out in the emulator I was not sure I would like the zoom in and out buttons on the plan screen since the plus and minus signs where toward the bottom unlike the ones I showed you that were centered. Once I looked at it on the AVIC I thought they were fine.
I changed the date/time on the off screen to 100 font and blue (matches my button illumination). I also changed the Cruise Dial background back to Aurora.
I tried to get N-S-E-W's startup sound to work but it does not work on my unit. I have not taken a test drive yet, just a simulation, but all looks good.
Hi,
i am going to use this, i own an EU avic f700bt with Firmware v2 installed.
What do i need to run this ? Installed the hacked 3.0 firmware or buy the offical one from pioneer?

Read the instructions.
Hey, Alex,
Is there any way I can get you to post your "My Flash Disk" on a download site so I can try it in mine to see if it is a software problem with mine that keeps the G**damn tripcomputer from working? 
I am just friggin' tired of not being able to take advantage of this portion of a wonderful and useful mod!
Thanx,
Bud
Ok so I'm still fairly new to the modding part of this. I love the mods you have made....
Now my question. How do I know what version I am running? I bought my 900bt about a year and a bit ago. I assume the v3 is the newest version that just came out. I take it I have to get v3 on my unit before using this awesome mod!

Hi, I read the instruction (Diafta's opening post) but it doesn't tell me anything about a required firmware level or "proven to work" models. It is designed for an F500BT.
guys, this will work with the F700, F710, F900 & F910 - maybe a few more... if you are already version 3 just stick the mods in they'll work out of the box, if you have v2 then you need to update the WinCE then plonk the mods in...

Yes you'll need v3. There are some hack-installs around here if you want it or you can buy it from Pioneer.

I am in the same boat as you though! Mine doesn't work either. I think I have IDT's backup. Let me know if you want that.

There are people running it on a 500 as well. Should work. Just need to change the device type in sys.txt.
