OK I understand.
There is a long method and for sure it will work 
: The method consists of creating an additional monochrome icon for each one in question, then show one of the other dependent on the GPS valid status, pretty much the same method as you use to show the AV_ON and AV_OFF icons.
Anyway, I guess I am the only one who make this request ...

There may be a workaround. I will see what I come up with on my next days off.
Thanks Abb for your consideration. Please don't feel obligated to do so, there are lot of ideas to make the mod better, but that will also consumpt lot of your time.
Later ...
Well Abb guess I have to be the one fly in the ointment! I loaded your Chrome Image V1.2 file, then your Chrome Nav Mod1.65 AV and both seemed to load O.K. I then tried to load your GFX folder and it seems to load about 40 % of the files then starts giving me errors (appears not to load the files completely) and as a result of these errors and the incomplete load the Schemes folder won't load at all. I'm not a complete idiot when it comes to computers, but I've tried deleting and reloading the files 3 times and get the same errors. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?
What do the errors say? if it is space, then first off delete the GFX folder that is already in place (if there is one in place), second, do like Chuck says and delete some maps from your map folder that you do not use, like Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska, etc.. Depending on where you are at, of course
Sorry, I can't recall exactly what the errors say, in fact, many times it doesn't mention an error but just indicates that it only loads about 15% of a file then moves on to the next and only loads a small portion of it and when all is said and done it, my GFX folder is only about 47 MB. Makes sense that I probably need more room. I'll try deleting some maps and free up some space and hpoefully that will solve the problem. Thanks to you & Chuck!
Abb & Chuck, just wanted to say thanks again for your help! I made some space by removing a few maps from far away places and everything loaded just like it was supposed to. Keep up the good work Abb!
You're welcome!
As you now understand the space limitation within the AVIC, you're ready for additional mods and hacks as well

The mapchanger is a feature that I use frequently as here in Canada it is hit and miss to which map is better. I travel between Toronto and Kingston and both maps have their advantages and disadvantages.
Abb,
When you were driving in the Toronto area, does the following holds true:
"Here in Canada, NT does provide lane info but lacks of speed limits. TA does provide speed limits but lacks of lane info. What is the joke? We are into 2010 now 
"
Anybody knows something else?

That is correct, like I said, they both have their advantages and disadvantages. I also noticed that in Toronto, I did see a few buildings with the Navteq maps, but NOT with the TA maps. The speedlimit sign, I really dont care about as I know what the speedlimits are here in Canada

You know what Abb, 3D buildings are in stored in the BUILDING folder, and you can use the same BUILDING for both NT and TA maps, so just use the one with more buildings for your area.
I always use 3D buildings files from TA, even with NT maps.

That is what I figured, but I took the same route twice, once with NT and the other time with TA. With Navteq, I seen two buildings (yes, an entire two ) and with TA, NONE were present!
Hey Abb,
Quick question. I am a little confused, which one do i download if i want the mod that doesn't include your AV off button. I like the AV and don't even want that option as I like to see what song is playing while on the nav screen. Thanks

Hey Abb......just want to say your mod is working fine on my unit, but I do have a slight problem. I noticed that the elevation is being represented in tenths (of a mile) on the map view. When I applied the hacked EZrider_alt it corrected that problem with Diaftia's mod, but it doesn't seem to work with yours. I've checked the forums here and have gotten confused as to what to do. Can you offer any suggestions, please ?

Hmmm, it must be a problem with your system. I use KM/M and have no problems, so I switched to Miles/Yards and then to Miles/feet, and I have not had a problem with either, whether it is in yards or feet. Nothing is displayed in tenths. Did you delete all user data before installing my mod? It may be conflicting with saved data from a previous mod or the previous Data.zip.

Thanks for the quick reply. I did delete the IGO folder in my user data, but I'll try it again and see if that corrects the situation.
Also, the altitude should not be displayed any different in map view as it is in the 'GPS Status' screen or any other screen that displays altitude or elevation. It should display it in either 'yards' or 'feet', whichever you have chosen in the 'Regional Settings'. Diaftias mod is no different than mine in that respect, so that makes me believe that the problem is associated with
1- did not delete 'user data'
2- did not install ALL the files associated to the mod. My 'SYS.txt' MUST be installed!
3- other mods or possibly faulty ezrider that may cause the problem or conflict with the units associated with the
Thanks for the added input. I haven't been able to make any corrections yet, but I do recall that the GPS page had the elevation expressed correctly, i.e, in thousands of feet. Here in New Mexico the we're pretty high above sea level so it's nice to see it expressed in those terms rather than tenths of a mile. I'll make the corrections this evening and let you know how it comes out. Thanks again for your concern!
Well, I have added the current speed back into the navigation planned route screen. This time I put it in an area that does not interfere with anything. Here is a pic, Give me your thoughts if this is something that you want in an update.
Abb, are the current speed text and speed limit sign only displayed during simulation or even during normal navigation?
How about your hidden MENU button (space taken up by the current speed in the pic)?

No, during normal navigation of course. The speed Limit sign is only available using TA maps though, not Navteq. I used the TA maps just to show that the speed does not interfere with the speedlimit sign. It just bugged me a few times when I was in navigation and it did not have the speed displayed, so I fixed that. The current menu button is still there as it was invisible, so now to bring up the menu, just press the speed while navigating

Reread the post, I edited it at the same time you posted this question
OK then. You know Abb, the current speed has been removed in the past because we found it odd under the compass, and I think that was better (removed) ...
We still can choose the current speed field, somewhat smaller, from navi settings ...
The speed limit, however is something nice to add. So I would suggest, if you could, put back also the elevation in the place of the current speed, then the speed limit. When one wants to bring back the menu, he only has to hit the elevation sign.
So you will have, tight and nice:
Time
Compass
Elevation
Speed Limit

The current speed was NEVER underneath the compass. It was previously (in an earlier release) in a seperate column in the Nav pane, but this interfered with the lane info, so I removed it. I was going to put it under the compass, but chose not to because there was no space, now there is as the menu button is now invisible and there is enough space between the compass and the speed limit sign. Actually, having the speed above the speedlimit sign while navigating is a perfect spot for it . The speed limit sign was never removed and it is always there. It is dependent on the mapping system that is being used. here in Canada, the speed limit sign is rare and is only displayed on Major highways, and not even then. If you are using Navteq maps, then you will not see the speedlimit sign at all here in Canada, no mod can change that.
The elevation sign is something that I find is useless or unimportant while navigating. If you did want to see the elevation, just click on either the destination dial or the speedometer dial. They both have the elevation displayed while navigating and it is just a button click.
This change is ,of course, only applicable while navigating!
Abb, please re-read my post. Current speed != Speed limit.

typo, it is now fixed, 'the CURRENT SPEED was never under the compass'
