Yeah, I find it is a lot cleaner, and the only time I need to know what is playing is when I am on Sirius. What I will do is put both bersions up for download, a Non-AV and an AV version. Either way, the AV can be either brought back up or hidden by tapping the AV button. I prefer it though, to be off on boot, or when the system starts. This update might take me a couple of more days as I found a free sharing server (thanks to Boris), and I am going to upload my new schemes, GFX folder and the new 1.5 update as well as the update for my Chrome theme. I will also include the fonts that I have installed as well. I just need to do some more testing to make sure that there are no glitches.

Not sure whether this is coming from IDT's original mod or Abb's change or nav nag message killer ...

 

It has happened many times already (quite often), after directly booting to the map screen (with the nav nag message bypass), the last known location was shown, then no more screen update even when the GPS is receiving its signal correctly (I know this because sometime, if a planned has been suspended, the voice prompts for turns continues with a frozen screen). No need to wait because it will never resume updating (voice prompts OK).

 

I have to press the physical MAP button to resume normal operation ...

 

Anyone saw this behavior before :?:

I believe that this is the case with ALL the Navigation software. When you shut the car down and it is in navigate mode, its memory will keep track of its last location. It needs to do this so that when switching to the main AV screen, let's say to change AV sources while navigating, it will return to the navigation when going back to 'map'. When you hit the hardware 'map' button, it almost acts like a 'reset' and this is needed to boot the Nav system back to proper GPS after boot. This is normal, a little inconvienience maybe, but normal. I have always experienced this and that is why I try to stop the route function before shutting the car down, not just with my mod, but all mods!

Abb, not sure I understand what you are saying ...

 

Note that even when not in the navigation mode before shutting down the car, I still experimented the same problem. The example that I was giving is only to prove that the GPS signal is functioning correctly, while in the other hand, the map screen is not updating (before hitting the MAP key).

 

This is surely a bug somewhere.

Its probably because you are running firmware 2 and this mod is for firmware 3.

Abb, is it normal that the Favorite button and Map Changer button :!: are hidden when I lost the GPS signal?

 

Are you planning to re-arrange the menu buttons in function of the GPS signal availability in your upcoming update?

 

Thanks.

Posted Apr 23, 2010 · 15:32 UTC#188

all was looking fine until i tried switching to navteq maps off my sd card. couldnt find the required license file. then tried restoring with my backed up data.zip and sys.txt file and i cleared my savedata. now i have that system starting please wait problem as mentioned by geoff1973. unit reboots.

 

im reloading the system software and going to try again without tampering with the maps. what could cause this Abb????

Lol, I don't know? You are the only person that loses their GPS signal! I have never heard of anybody losing it az all that is require to maintain a signal is four satelites and they are pretty much always available. Anyways, I will look into it as it is not to hard to fix. I got some other minor things that I want to add as well, so I am hoping on having it complete this weekend, if work will permit it!

Why would you use your SD card to load Navteq maps? Just load the Navteq maps that are required for your region or State. If you need to travel outside of that, just switch to TeleAtlas. Example, I am in Canada, so I have North America on TA, and I have just Canada and NY in Navteq which has no problem fitting on 'My Flash Disk'. You do not have to have ALL of North America on both maps.

After changing your Data zip, make sure that you delete your user files and you should be good to go

LOL, I am so unique, all the time :mrgreen: .

 

Well I drove my wife to work today and have to pass through a 2 KM tunnel at downtown, this is why ...

 

Is is very easy to simulate the lost of GPS signal, just use the AVIC_Emulator ...

 

With 3 SAT, you should be able to get a fix, then 2 SAT is enough to navigate ...

Pop into the Testmode, rename /My Flash Disk/APL2/iGo/CONTENT/map_ta to map, and you should be good to restart. :D

So you might have a similar problem: try run to the Testmode, rename /My Flash Disk/APL2/iGo/CONTENT/map_ta (or map_nt) to map, and you should be good to restart.

sounds great abb! cant wait!

Posted Apr 26, 2010 · 02:29 UTC#197

New 1.5 update is up!! Please let me know if there is any problem with the downloads as I went with 4-shared, as the files are too large.

I have included my schemes for download. Some you can see here:

http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=31855

They will ONLY WORK WITH MY MOD AND DPDURST'S MOD as ours are the only ones that are designed to work with outside schemes. When installing the GFX folder, just delete the present one that is in your 'MyFlashDisk/APL2/IGO' (if you have a GFX folder in there) as mine will replace that, or elese, you will probably not have the space. Give me feedback and let me know how you like it because that is what keeps me going :)

Damn, I think that I am the only one still making mods :(

Youppppppiiiiiiiiiiiiiii :D.

 

Well, you are not alone ... 34by151 and Diaftia are with you 8) .

I hope so, I know that Alex is still around but I think he is kinda taking a break in the background. I haven't seen any mods from 34by151, so I dont know! I just hope that Alex will stay here and continue his fine work :)

Don't worry Abb, new modders will eventually pop in, just a question of time. Just don't feel that you are obligated to continue or to support anything, and know when to retire from the sceene as otherwise you can get yourselft frustrated at time. You have done something great here!!!

 

AVIC is a great product beside its slowness and incomplete nav software, but it does open the door for modders like you, so I believe that with Forum such as AVIC411.com, new modders will come. :lol:
