Great job Abb,

 

Can you make it like this:

short pressing the speed limit sign bring up the TMC traffic information screen and a long pressing on the speed limit sign bring up the push pin or ad speed camera screen.

I dont know what TMC is? We have MSN over here. Can you access the TMC using the MSN button in the 'extras' menu? If so, then I should switch the name from MSN to TMC for the UK version.

TMC = traffic message channel.

I don't know if MSN accessable for UK versions, but here in the Netherlands we don't have it en we cannot access the traffic information via MSN ( it is working here).

Edit:

I checked my Avic and saw that I can access the traffic information ussing the extra / MSN menu.

Looks good Abb.Will you be able to sort out a minor problem with the UK version,where pressing the speed limit sign in the main nav mode doesn't bring up the add cam option please?Just a thought Abb,but what would be the chances of making this a"add push pin"option instead of "add speed cam"?I am sure the original pioneer V2 had this facility when you pushed the centre of the volume knob.Like I say,just a thought......

I can see about doing this to the UK version. What is the point of pushpins though?

It is so you can mark a point as you travel with just a couple of clicks.It could be for example a campsite you have just passed or a good looking fishing point and would like to find it later by browsing the map.You can then edit the pushpin and make it a poi or favourite.

There you go Col, I added the 'add speedcam' for the speed limit sign to the 'UK Data'. It also has the latest updates. Just use the download on the first page again.Enjoy!

Thanks very much for that Abb.All installed OK.Did you say this includes the option for the permanent AV show/Hide,or am I jumping the gun??Thanks again.

Hi there,

I don't mean hijacking thread and Abb knows that I have a lot of respects for all his mods. However I am still not updating to V3.0 from his V2.75 mod for one single reason: Smartzoom not working at ALL in this latest release that is modified from Diaftia's mod.

After numerous talks with Abb, he is convinced that I am the ONLY one who like smartzoom; but I doubt his claim and he had invited me to poll forum users to see what you guys think (and unfortunately, I doubt that many of you guys don't even know what smartzoom is for, sorry if I am wrong though ).

So please do so, vote to see whether you like or not after observing the following images (OBSERVE HOW THE MAP INCLINES VS DISTANCE), so that Abb and me would have a clear idea on whether the smartzoom is on it way to the next update or not.

Thank you very much!

Hey Chuck88, maybe I'm in the minority but I have always used smart zoom and always will as long as its available; so go ahead and count me as a smart zoom user.posting.php?mode=reply&f=64&t=33698#

Hey chuck and Abb

I will honestly have to say, I have never used this function, but mainly because I never new it was there. Now that I have seen the pics of what it can do I really like it.

Put me as a +1 as a like for smart zoon.

count me too

Anone having trouble with Bluetooth and this mod? My phone connects fine, but when I get a call it conects for a couple seconds then reboots the entire system. I have a moto droid and never had trouble before this mod and this is the only thing I have done to the system.

looks good count me in.

Personally I hate smartzoom but if it is included I can always turn it off

I have NEVER had a problem using Bluetooth, but then again I have an iPhone . I make calls frequently as I am on the road a lot and have never had the system reboot. The system will reboot when the onboard cache gets full, why this is happening with your phone, I don't know? Did you install my SYS.txt file or did you use one that you had prior?

Damn I like it..(smart zoom) BUT how the hell did you get the road signs to work? I am in Quebec also(Terrebonne ) and I NEVER saw a road sign work on my almost 2 years of having a AVIC...

Use the Navteq maps.

Navteq = roadsigns,

TeleAtlas = speed sign

Well, I got the settings equivelent to my 2.75 mod. The only difference is that the tilt angle is locked which was put in so that you can see the sky. It now zooms in when going near a corner but to me, it still doesn't do what smartzoom is supposed to do and neither does the 2.75 version.

LOL, great iPhone versus Droid. Anyways I didn't have trouble until now. Twice I tried it and both times it rebooted, but we went on Vacation with your 2.75 and it worked fine for both of us??? Is there a way to clear the cache?

To get this working properly in any mod is beyond my knowledge as for it to work properly, it must work in conjunction with the current speed, and it does not!

Abb, the smartzoom works uniquely with the distance to turn, and has nothing to do with the current speed. You have this feeling of speed when the map inclines faster when you run faster, but at the end, the distance plays the role, and NOT the speed.

Beside that, you can somehow set the distance (zoom-in and zoom-out limits, both distances and angles, or something) that you want the smartzoom to operate, so you have some degree of control over the speed of the zoom/incline, i.e. more distance to operate with less angle variation will smoother the map incline speed (Misterblue knows exactly what I am talking about).

So this should be much simpler now ... Misterblue has fine-tuned his mod and has improved the smartzoom from IDT, so I hope that this will get it simpler and that he can offer to help when requested.

When you are switching the mods, are you switching the SYS.txt files? they are both different!

Well my friend, all you have to do is switch to Navteq maps (no speed limits though). TA maps have speed limits on our roads but not highway signposts.

Sorry Abb,

I think that this doesn't do any good to smartzoom, as the coding behide the smartzoom should be fundamentally different between IDT's mod and Diaftia's mod. You can't just tweak the settings to make it works.

If you really want to do it in the right way, you would have to embedded the smartzoom code (and variables) of V2.75 or Misterblue's mod to V3.0.

Yeah of course, I know this is very difficult for us, since we are not expert in coding the iGo.

Nice try though.

Thanks for all.

Try to delete the BTSettings.dat file under \My Flash Disk\USER\UserData\SETUP, and possibly other *.DAT files as well if it doesn't do the trick. You would have to relink your phone afterward.

Remember always to make a copy before any modifications to the AVIC.

There is a language barrier with him. When he talks, it makes absolutely no sense! I am sure that he means well, but a lot of people (me especially) just dont understand him at all.

Yeah I always say that losing the sky, for only a moment, for a clearer turn visual is no big deal, this is what a navigation system is for after all, NAVIGATE and NOT see the sky .

You would see the whole sky when you are 800m away from the next turn, and get lesser when you are closer, so I really don't understand why people don't like it

you already know German, so French is not a big deal for you?

Obviously just joking

When you are switching the mods, are you switching the SYS.txt files? they are both different!

I will try your deletion method on the file, but would sys.txt have any affect on the BT? I do use the one you supply, but add some files to allow the road names to be in a box and to change the zoom settings.
