Or you can add to the sys.txt file:

 

 

[poi]
use_multi_poi_icon=0

 

 

Can I also edit the sys.txt and change default lat & long to my location as well as default day and night schemes to those of my choosing??

As far as I know the Long and Lat setting in sys.txt is only the start location that the AVIC will boot to when it has no GPS lock.

You can use whatever scheme you like as long as the files are in place to support them (like DPDurst). All standard schemes should work fine.

I tried removing the "zoom=1000" from the code string for the signposts and yet they still show up small. WHat gives?

Also, regardless of the transparency settings, on or off, the freeway signs are still transparent and hardly visible.

 

Any thoughts?

Been reading here:

viewtopic.php?f=34&t=26901

 

Maybe this is whee the demons lie...

 

Thanx,

Freeway signs are limited in width. Adjust the W= setting and it will make them larger.

 

Transparency is for the navigation backgrounds not the freeway signs. Working on that put all changes to the signposts require a reboot.

Thanx, Alex, N-S-E-W, et. al !!

Would this mod work on the x910bt? This the unit I have installed in my F-150. Pm me if you have the answer.

Thanks

 

Yup. Works great on my x910

How do I go about installing this mod?

Probably generic problem. But anyone experiencing a problem in destination time (ETA)? Mine adds one hour to the travel time. Puzzles me (time on screen and satt is ok).

Any ideas or is it a daylight savings problem which will solve itself in a few weeks?

Same for me, started 2 days ago GPS time is correct, time do destination is correct, but ETA is one hour later. So when you are just 1 min away from your destination at noon, it still shows an ETA of 1:00 pm

Same here, but not to worry: I also had this a few months ago, and again now. Probably has to do with discrepancy between Europe and US DST settings. Annoying, but harmless.

I do have another problem, with the Europe implementation of this mod. In Belgium, our highway signs have a blue background, as opposed to green in the US. Merten has changed this, but apparently on highway intersections this reverts back to white on green. Anybody has a clue where this ambiguity comes from?

Hi all,

I have installed the mod this afternoon and was overwelmed about all the settings i made.. So thats great .

Good job to those involved in developing this.

But i actually have a few question.

I used to have nice green way pointers on the map, Instead of the bouncing black ones. Is there any option to change that back. Or maybe restore the whole 3D part (without the horizon) as it was a lot clearer and the map ran a lot smoother. And the highway signs now show the names next to each other instead of under. Is this normal ?

Now i also have an issue with my GPS. While standing still the maps start to spin, like it doesnt no wich direction im facing. I used to have this problem before while running firmwarre 2.0 after mocing to 3.0 this was solved. Anybody has an idea on how to solve this ?

Hi Ben.Regarding the pointers,have a look in sys.txt and see that you have a line something like this.If yours is set to =0(ie OFF)change it to =1(ON)

[3d]

show_guidance_arrows=1

show_guidance_strip=1

Good Luck!

Hi Ovalball,

Thanks for the suggestion, that will probalby solve the issue. Your sure however that both should be set to =1 ?

So then it would be :

show_guidance_arrows=0

show_guidance_strip=1

I also noticed this is different from a defualt sys.txt.

Diafta mod :

[gps]

port=7

baud=9600

default_latitude="34.05116"

default_longitude="-118.24258"

Original :

[gps]

port=7

baud=9600

default_latitude="0.0"

default_longitude="0.0"

You think this could solve my gps issue ?

Thanks .

This is a hardware issue, not a software one. The GPS which is attached to your AVIC gets the signals from satellites. The direction that you are going dictates when the vehicle is in motion so the GPS can determine which direction you are going. When the car is motionless, the GPS cannot predict which direction you will be travelling until you go in motion. That is why when you are stopped, the map spins and is in an off direction until you put the car in motion again. I have had this forever, no matter what mapping software I had. The earlier models were not so bad because they had a 1-2 sec lag time, so it would not start to go off course until 2 sec after you are stopped. The AVIC's though are very accurate!

Just thought I'd add my two cents. I had this spinning map problem. It bugged me. Stopped is stopped. It SHOULDN'T move until I do, even if it's pointing wrong. After all, if I've just pulled up to a red light and stopped, it brought me here, now wait till I move.

In your settings you should find a 'Keep Position On Road.' Turn it off. The spinning stops. And when you go off road (into a plaza or such) the unit doesn't go crazy trying to keep you on a road. I just like it better. Give it a shot.

Ben.I have both mine set to=1 because i want to see both the guidance strip and the cursur.If you only want the guidance strip then set the other value to =0

Ok thanks, im going to try that out this afternoon.

But now i also noticed another problem. My gps location show about 15 meter off from my curent lcoation. So i always see my pointer next to the road instead of on it..

anybody else experiencing this ?

I just thought of something that could be causing this. I know house numbers have been off and that is due to map data. Anyone else seeing the cursor being of? I will look into some files as to what could be causing this.

Question... when you noticed it was off was the unit in night mode or was it at night?

Hi, i think i experienced it in both modes. However it appears that the cursor is'nt always off. I noticed that on some speed ways it did went to the right location on the map. I think that when taking turns, the effect is most noticeable. sometimes about 10+ meters.

I am going away this evening for a small drive to the gas station, i will try and do some test.

If you know any good ones let me know .

How do I go about getting v3

Since it doesn't appear you searched much on the topic, I suggest getting a legal copy from Pioneer. If issues arise from installing the legal version you can try some of the fixes that are in the hacks/mods section.

You assumed I was talking about the 3.0 FW. Not sure why you would think I would post in the completed mods/themes section for a FW, but I was referring to v3.0 of the Diaftia mod....hence posting in this section

You are correct, I assumed you were referring to the FW. I don't recall Alex ever say if the new version was to be v2.4 based on following the same numbering sequence or just jump to 3.0. Usually when someone has said 3.0 it is in regards to the FW. For all we know Alex and 34by151 may call it something altogether different since they're working on it together.

Some posts seem to take the intended topic off course. Happens quite frequently. That's what I thought was happening from your post.

Now back to the topic at hand.

could it be coded to save the longitude & latitude calculations as "Home" or current location and not a physical address at all?

 

Yes, that can be done but I doubt it will make it into the next release. The next release will be V3 due to the number of changes. It will probably be V3.1 before we get to that

 

Cheers

34by151

This is why I called it v3

Thanks for the Mod, just loaded it and it is unbelievable. Haven't learned all the neat things about it yet but what I have found so far are awesome. I think my unit (that has v 3.0 firmware) even boots faster with your mod, really.

Great work

I just took a short trip with this mod over Pioneer's U.S./Canada version 3.02002 update on and F700BT. Everything worked great! Really like the changes and the trip computer was used several times. Great work!!

Does anyone have the original files from an x910bt that are replaced by this mod. My SD card is corrupt and my backups are not readable. I need to restore my unit to factory so I can return it unmodified. Thanks for any help with this.
