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?

 

 

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.

The SYS.txt may have a effect on the cache as it has the cache extended to 2048 mb for my 3.0 mod

So that is it? Nobody else want to vote for smartzoom? Looks like that Abb's mods has been downloaded far more than 6 or 7 times ...

Please do so, whether you like it or not. Your opinion counts to make this forum better .

This has been discussed in several locations, the only way to see hwy signs is to use Navteq maps! You will not see them with TA maps!

Chuck, where are you supposed to vote???? There is no poll set up?????

If Smartzoom worked as it was intended,I would use it.If Abb decides he can do something with it,then great!If not I won't lose any sleep because IMO it is still the best mod available.

Sorry but I don't have to setup a poll ... I thought that people only reply to the thread and say what they want.

Any hint on setting up one?

Abb is referring to Canada only. On the US soil, highway signposts are available, apparently, everywhere with both maps.

NavTeq. As for the color, position, transparency and font size of the signposts, you would have to tweak it a bit from Abb's mod V2.75. The original signposts from IDT are opaque and with bigger font size.

If you want, let me know when you success installing NavTeq map. Of course, snapshots are not from V3.0.

Agreed. Best mod for the time being.

With correct operation of smartzoom, it would be even better

I have been looking more and more into the smartzoom for this mod, and I think it is a no go. I can have all the scripts the same, and they are still different because of the tilt lock. I guess for those that like 'smartzoom' there is the 2.75 and for everyone else V3.0

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

I think using navteq maps is beyond my scope of hacking on the avic.. if some one could show me where I can read a nice clear "how to" I would love it! I searched and all i get is a bunch of mixed up posts,,,

Hang on Abb, I am here to help

When I use the following settings in SYS.TXT, the tilt is actually working with your current OFFICIAL post of V3.0 at page 1 (July 22nd '10), so I think that is no such thing as "tilt lock". Let me explain ...

What Diaftia recommended in order to see the sky, one must set both slider-bars all the way to the right side at 90 (i.e. "minangle=90" and "maxangle=90"). He is correct but no tilt at turn.

When I set "minangle=70" and "maxangle=90", the tilt is just perfect but will not return ENOUGH to see the whole sky after the turn. So I think that you must be able to decrypt something with this idea, at least experiment yourself with the SYS.TXT suggestion.

Do you mind to look further?

[smartzoom]
restore_smartzoom_on=1
speedzoom=6
speedangle=8
minzoom=40      ; distance from the car when zoom in
maxzoom=80      ; distance from the car when zoom out (normal navigation)
minangle=70     ; for Diaftia's mod: <= 70, incline properly at turn; starting with 75, no more inclining; at 80, start to see the sky
maxangle=90     ; 90 is the max angle to see the whole sky

Please see my comments inside the code.

My SYS.TXT is attached.

Well, I have just downloaded the new 2009.12 TeleAtlas maps and for the record, they now have signposts galore!! They even have signs that were not present with Navteq maps.

Abb, I just edited my last post to include my SYS.TXT. Please use it to experiment the smartzoom.

Sorry man, it is against forum rules to post outside links. I got dinged for that in another forum. Just go to NaviTotal and register. They have All the latest maps. I also got the Q4 for Navteq. Their improvements are not that impressive over the new TeleAtlas maps

how do we install them?

Maps for the iGO R3/R4/R5 software will these work?

Maps for the iGO R3/R4/R5 software will these work?

No, you need Igo3 Teleatlas maps 2009.12 or iGo3 Navteq 2009Q4
