Hello,

 

ABB1 I am very disappointed :roll:

 

me too!!!

Posted Feb 05, 2011 · 21:50 UTC#327

I hear what you are saying and I really HATE dissapointing anybody. I will see when I get back home next week. I may put it up, BUT WITH CLOSURE THAT I WILL NOT TROUBLESHOOT AS I REALLY AM NEVER HOME ANYMORE! Two days one week and three days the next, and trust me, when I am home, I do not want to sit in front of a computer and troubleshoot an installation that was not done right.

I DO NOT want anybody to get the wrong idea about given the mod to those that donated. I sure as hell dont do this for donations, but I DO feel commited to those that have shown their appreciation. Trust me, it is not a monetary thing as I have an excellent income, and I have myself donated to both, Diaftia and IDT to show my appreciation for their hard work and input. Hell, if they were in my city, I would buy them so many beers, that they would not stand :D!

We spend a lot of time putting these mods together and it is a nice feeling to get an email that says 'Nice Job! I sent you some money for a couple of beers! Cheers' ... instead of hearing 'I installed your mod, but it doesnt work for me', or 'I dont like the smartzoom' or 'I dont like transparent signs'. These mods, wether they are done by myself, IDT or Alex are done on an individual basis and our tastes differ. It is impossible to please everyone, but we are doing the best that we can for the community.

So is it wrong to give my mod to those that are supportive, had nothing but good things to say, and have appreciated the hard work that went into these mods? ....I don't think so! I want to share the work that I do, but looking through Alex's mod and some of the comments he had to deal with, I just dont have time for :( .

I will see if I have the time when I come home to put up an MSN version of this mod, but I will not troubleshoot it!

I agree with ovalball, Jean-Louis please don't take that personally, that shouldn't be the intent!

 

Everyone's contribution is important to make this forum alive!

No, I wasn't talking about anybody in particulor, ! Those were just a few things that I picked atop of my head and were not to single anybody out. You have said a lot of good things about my work, and I appreciate constructive critism along with that. Please, that was not to be taken personally for ANYONE!!

Abb,

I love your mod and was looking forward to version 5. I suggest that you post version 5 and put up a disclaimer that you don't have time for tech support and that you welcome other forum members to provide the support. If you did that I would feel comfortable helping out here for anyone who is having trouble as much as I am able and I am sure other people on here would help as well. This is as long as you don't mind us helping out of course. Anyways, thanks for what you have done so far is it appreciated.

ABB1,I apprecis your work I am happy to see that you understand my approach I just want to contribute with my small means to your works

 

Good continuation in your works

Hello.

 

Does this mod allow the POI icons to show up? If yes, how does one do this?

 

Thanks.

Simple! Search and get BRANDING.ZIP and place it in "\My Flash Disk\APL\iGo". That is it! Nothing more!

I think you may mean can you show poi icons on the map?if so go to settings/manage/manage poi.then edit the poi which you want to view on the map.You can change things like the icon and also at what zoom distance you wish the icons to appear on the map.I hope this is what you meantî—

Abb,

 

I think that people here don't read disclaimers really well. If I was going to release a mod then I would specifically say that questions about installation are not going to be addressed. Your instructions have never, ever failed me and I've installed your mods over a dozen times.

 

The only thing holding me back at this point is not having a test unit to play with, and I can't seem to get emulation running to just test from my desktop.

Kruuth - While there is much truth in what you wrote, there will still be people that can and will mess up the installation and think it's the authors fault. It really is time consuming and takes a great deal of patience to support the mods, whether it's a full blown data.zip or just an added mod to an existing zip. Back when this unit was in it's infancy most everyone was learning at the same time. Bits and pieces were being added a little at a time. Rarely would a whole data.zip be offered. Doing it piecemeal we learned to explore the files in the zip and have a better understanding of what did what. Now it's mostly a few people at a time busting their butts to try to please everyone. It really is hard to do that.

This is just awesome!! Pioneer should have hired you.

So many great improvements in V5.0 it is awesome. Again, very well thought out. I have an early Beta, with only a couple of very small issues and can say I have not gotten bored of this mod at all yet, though I can't wait for a fully functioning version.

 

Hey Abb, thanks again for all your efforts and keeping this forum going during that very long dry spell.

Thanks, graphics, I have always been good at, the scripting, I have mostly learned from the members here :grin:, so without them, most of my mods would not be here!

Your welcome! V5 is a lot of work in that just about everything has been changed. Everytime I go to get a working MSN version on the go, something comes up, like work problems, computer problems, health problems (pneumonia). I will get this up, people will just have to be patient and the wait will be worth it as I have been running this mod (NON MSN) version for awhile, and it is 100 % stable, and much more functional in some aspects, as well as much better to look at. I love it when people get in my car and ask "wow, where can I buy one of those?" and I say "you can't" :twisted:

That is what I am using and testing now. I have never posted a non-msn because nobody wants it and the only time i did, there was very few downloads. i may put it up this time though

Would love to run a poll. I don't know anyone that wants the MSN version. Isn't it expired? No-MSN for me please.

I you have a X710BT or F700BT, you don't even have the MSN thing on it.

 

For X910BT and up, you have the MSN hardware, and service availability depends where you live. I also remember that MSN was talking about discontinue the service sometime ago, but surprisingly, people are still using it in the North America.

 

Maybe someone else can shed some light on this matter ...
