Anyone know how to get the tripmeter thing to work? Also, what does record from the map menu do? The log thing in the settings, is that to long where you drove, or just what you gps and it directs you on the unit?

The trip computer has had problems since it was first designed. 34x151 did some research into this and come to the conclusion that when the NAV program starts before the GPS signal is aquired, then the Trip Computer fails to work. In the V4 that will be coming out hopefully within a week, it has the Tripcomputer redesigned and scripted to let other programs start before the Tripcomputer. This delays the starting process so that the GPS signal is found before the trip computer loads and therefore it will work. I have been testing this now for over a week and it now works 90% of the time which is a lot better than the 10% it was working before. I think it is forever difficult to get it to work 100% because of the long delays sometimes for a GPS signal, but this is as close as it gets. The record button simply records trip logs and saves them so that you can view them later.

Ok.. I was just hoping it wasn't my Avic alone.. I remember using it when I drove to Kentucky. You would think that a program that runs on the GPS wouldn't have a mental break down from the one thing that it relies on to function. haha I may check out that logging. I couldn't really think of a good use for it right now. Other the shs and giggles

I believe that when the unit detects the slightest movement while booting up this is when it all goes to s**t. I've had problems with the tripcomp since day one therefore I never used it. Too bad because it is an invaluable tool. This is also tied into the same funky crap that the triplogs are tied into as well. Those never would save. Rarely and I mean RARELY would that function work as well----didn't use it either. Also, the scrolling text is also tied into the same because it rarely worked. But if I sit completely still before I set out then these items will ALL work without fail but I am not going to sit for two minutes before I get under way

This will be nice. Thanx Abb!

 

Last thing...I'd like to copy some of the POI listings from my SD card to the internal flash. Where do I copy these to?

myFlashDisk/APL2/igo/content/POI

Hmm. That didn't work. There wasn't a POI folder, and when I tried making one it won't recognize.

That might be a neat add-on....an importer that would pull kml files off of a USB key.

My truck didn't move this morning for at least 15 minutes after start and it didn't work. Sorry for all the questions.. lol Also, in the screen shots, there is a pic under simulation.. Does anyone know how to get the music play control buttons where the AV info would be?

Those aren't play control buttons, those are simulation buttons.

Like I said, with the new version, the trip computer will be a lot more reliable, still not 100% though. I was driving today and noticed that it was not working, one time earlier on, That was the first time in four days with several starts that it did not work, It is a LOT better than it was, but still not 100% .

The POI's have a .poi extension, not a kml extension. Go to GPS underground or Navitotal to get the POI's for IGO 8.3

I like the different schemes. I had an idea this morning that it would be to have the system switch in the morning to Sunrise and Red Sunset at dusk. Just feed back.

Just wanted to confirm how to reconnect to this important thread as we await v4. Appears the F-series is going to make a significant step forward in form and function as Abb prepares his next contribution. Didn't want site progress to slow the arrival of improved configuration.

Ive been lucky enough to test V4 for Abb,and it is awesome.I really dont see how this can be improved further.Apart from one or two personal quirks (which i am sure we all have)this is close to the ultimate mod which has changed my 900 from a very diserpointing sat nav into a work of art

Is there a way to store the KML files on the internal flash storage?

Not to my knowledge, as I do not believe that Igo 8.3 recognizes KML files. It is not a big deal though, just download the .poi files from Navitotal or GPS Underground

It should recognize them since it does when they're on the SD card. There should be a directory to drop them into.

My question is, why would you want to? Just download the POI equivalent, put them in your POI folder and that is it! All poi's are recognized........so simple

I'd like to load this Mod - i have 2 questions:

Can the font be changed (how)?

Does it include Carver's NAV/nag screen bypass?

1) Yes. Do not copy the Tahoma*.* from Abb's mod to the iGo folder. The texts in the icons cannot be change (font); those are fixed in the icons.

2) No. Carver's NAV nag does not have anything to do with the nav mod, as Carver's fix is in the DLL and EXE files.

Yes, you can put whatever font you want in the NAV program. Like Chuck says, if you do not want the one that I am using, dont copy the Tahoma fonts from the .rar file.

My V4 will be an 'all-in-one', and YES, it will have Carvers latest nag screen bypass. This should be up for download soon and has many functional and graphical improvements

I will keep going as long as I get the appreciation and support. When that stops, so do I. I was a little disappointed last week where there wasn't a post in any thread in this forum for three days

abb, your mods are great. I wouldn't be too concerned with lack of replies in this thread over time. Most I would assume are happy with the way it is and are awaiting the next update, probably not much to say. Just letting you know I have no problems with the current set up and always check this thread.

When I get home again, I will work on posting V4. It is complete and it works great, I am hoping on having it up by Friday if all goes well. Donations can always be sent through PayPal forwarding them to this email [email protected] . All donations are greatly appreciated, and those will be added to my friends list so that if this forum dies to the point where I won't be posting, I will still send updates to those on my friends list, as I will always be modding and that is my form of appreciation

Damn, this mod is based on Diaftia's mod and the speed cameras are the same as his mod as I have left them untouched. I don't use that part of the mod as we don't have speed cameras here in this part of the world . Two areas that you can look at are in the settings menu, under 'warnings' or go into the route menu and check out the Plan menu. If it is available, it should be in one of those two areas
