Can you post a pic? I live in Canada and we dont have speed cameras or lane info that is displayed, or even buildings on the GPS for that matter. That is why I really did not want to do this mod, because I have no way of testing all possibilities

Well, I am your neighboor, I live in Montreal Canada. I use NavTeq map but POI and building files from TeleAtlas, and surrounding Montreal, I have sign posts, lane info (only when navigating of course) and buildings. We have speed cameras too (I believe in Ontario, you no longer have speed cameras by law ). I believe that if you drive to Ottawa or Toronto, you should have all of that too, except speed cameras, but you can still use existing cameras databases to find highway or city speed traps.

When navigating, lane info is available (additional to the sign posts). Lane info was placed immediately underneath the CANCEL + MUTE buttons, while sign posts are on the top of the screen, overlapping ui_MenuButtons layer when sign post is available. Lane info is illustrated as little green or red arrows to indicate which lane to take.

If this is still not clear, I will try to get a photo while driving ... please let me know.

Disregard my join date, been lurking around here for a looong time. I had a theme on my old 2.0 and did full blown 3.0x upgrade last night and basically I am looking for a new theme. I already got the chrome on my main menus etc, but I can't get the chrome "Navi" mod to work. I tried many diff things and I can't seem to get it to work.

 

It seems like every theme is a little diff in the way its uploaded. Also does this do a Software Bypass ? I have the hardware bypass, its worked for over a year fine- but with 3.0X upgrade it makes my navigation and phone usage while driving not possible. Thanks !

I would suggest using the stock software, make sure that it works for your new 3.0x before adding another nav mod to the HU, because it could well be a problem related to the 3.0x upgrade itself.

One day at a time .

Lol, biggest city that I live near by is Kingston, and theres no signs there. With TA maps, I will have a speed limit sign on the 401, but that is it, not with Navteq. So, are the signs and signposts just covering the current speed, or are they covering the icons as well? Yeah, a pic would be great, so that way I will have something that I can work around. Thanks

You are correct to point out that speed limits are not available with NT map, at least here in Canada. I will try to take a photo of the screen during my return from work this afternoon.

Abb, another idea would be for you to simulate a route, with NavTeq map and signpost and laneinfo turned ON, from:

1100 Rue Courval

Lachine, Quebec H8T 3P5

To Lachine City Center.

You will see right after entering the 13 Highway (approx. 1 KM from the starting point) the overlapping of CURRENT SPEED + LANEINFO, on the left edge of the screen. See both since current speed is translucide.

Only with my two modified files embedded, if you have set fading percentage to something else than 100%, you will also see the overlapping of the highway signposts over the buttons. HW signposts are opaque so it hides underneath buttons completely.

Let me know.

Abb, so here is the pic taken during a Route Simulation, sorry for its quality though ... as you can see on the lower left corner, current speed overlaps with lane info. As for the signposts, I think that the menu buttons are not shown while the signposts are displayed. Is this the intent? I don't know, if so then it is good.

I will confirm the menu buttons disapperance later during real drive.

EDITED: The buttons are shown under the signposts, not disappeared, just underneath.

So the speed is only in the way during navigation, not when it is in the top left corner during regular driving?

Yes. During normal driving there is no issue, because the LANE INFO would not be shown during normal driving .

Since there is no more space on the left side, considering also the additional commands for route simulation as in the above photo, I would suggest, during navigation ONLY, putting the current speed at the right side. But use a white box like the speed limit sign instead (as previous used in IDT's mods), as this would be really neat .

So, the only problem is through 'Route simulation', not in actual navigation? I dont really want to put up the speed sign because that is one more icon to clutter up the screen. My whole idea for this is to have a full featured mod without all the clutter on the screen. Hmm, I can move the speed out of the Nav part, that is not too difficult if it is a problem

So, the only problem is through 'Route simulation', not in actual navigation?

No Abb. By normal driving I mean "not in the navigation mode" (i.e. you don't have a destination set and active). "Route simulation" is exactly the same as Navigation, except that you can control the speed, pause etc, therefore they both have this overlapping problem. I guess it should be fixed .

Hope that it is clearer now.

Ok, I got it fixed and changed. I will test it out tomorrow and post it tomorrow night if all is good. Thanks!

How do we change the colour of the car icon?

How do we change the colour of the car icon?

You can't do that. The color is embedded in the original design of the car. You can only scale it.

Hi everyone,

A short question, a bit off topic here: what is the parameter to modify to change the navigation color of the calculated route, within COLOR.INI or COLOR3D.INI? What is the different usage between the two files? Sometime the COLOR3D.INI is not present for a scheme.

I am using GJ2.1_Night_sky2 scheme, very nice but the calculated route during navigation is BLACK, very hard to read.

Thanks.

Well, V1.01 is up for download. The only difference is the fix for the lane bar while navigating. I will update photos later tonight. Thanks Chuck, for pointing this out. As far as your question about the schemes, the person to ask is DPHurst. PM him as he designed all these awesome schemes and he is the master when it comes to schemes. I have tried messing with the color.ini without any luck, but maybe Dave can shed some light on it. Good luck

Thank you very much Abb, for your hard work to maintain such a nice mod and for the tip lead to DPHurst. I will PM him directly.

Later.

abb, awesome mod. I have been an IDT follower since he started putting his mods up but tried this for a change of pace and hte options you give. However, one problem that must be embedded in IDTs info somewhere maybe you can help me out.

 

Here is the error I get, I click "ok " and it goes away and nav seems to work fine as far as I can tell, hopefully I get this right enough for you to help:

 

FFUIERROR: unknown object identifier

Identifier [txt_date]

script "sc_IDTnavtext_color_green" comand 12

 

Can you possibly tell me how to fix that?

 

Thanks

Try deleting all your save files in 'userdata'. It is looking for a green text that was present before you installed the mod and now isnt. deleting your prior cache will get rid of that.

I also have same problem . If I don’t change text color in navi settings all works nice but when I try to change yellow color I have same error .I delete save files from userdata/igo/save. Thanks for any help

Hi Abb, in V1.01, the current speed during navigation has been moved from left to right, but the shaded box used to seat the speed previously was still there on the left side, but empty now.

Yeah, I changed the box and got rid of the section with the speed as it is now moved. There is no sense in having an empty box in the cockpit. Also, this space is now clear for the lane info.

I got a few things that I am working on for this mod. I am starting to think that this is kinda pointless though as there is hardly anyone in this forum anymore and I think that I am the only person here still doing mods

Com'on, your people stand up and tell Abb that I am not the only one who is appreciating his works.

Even if Abb is not currently accepting donation since he doesn't has the ability to test out everything, like MSN etc, because the region that he lives in doesn't have this service, but you guys can still send a word to him. Am I right???

We need Abb to continue his nice work, especially when IDT is in a difficult situation and can't continue his modding for sometime ...

And where is Hube2002? Didn't see you around for sometime now .

you are right.I know a couple of the modders are really busy with a new mod,but now idt has gone things seem really quiet on here.I think people like Abb are keeping this place alive and long may it continue!

Great work Abb as usual and certainly appreciated from this side of the pond!!

Keep at it, abb. Over time someone else will come along just like you have that learns how to change things around and gets familiar with the coding.

Most people who mod here not appreciated until after they stop. I guess it's the nature of the forum. Case in point, I had zips posted pre 3.0 that had over 300 downloads. I asked for comments good, bad or indifferent and received only a handful or responses. I also had some Hot To threads where I asked the same and heard primarily from users that didn't know how to access the Flash Disk or should not try to make changes. Again only a handful.

Funny how some of the mods from the Hot To threads are asked to be incorporated into other zips created by other modders. No decency to thank the originator of discoverer of the mod. Take a look at the New Nav Mod thread, 100's of downloads and not much appreciation for the originators. Many of the features in the other zips originated from there.

If my desire to incorporate new things in my zip comes back, I'll probably share again.
