Great job Chuck, the selectable zoom levels makes this mod absolutely perfect! Thanks for all your contributions over the past year and a half; it is sad to hear that such a talented modder is retiring. All the best, and thanks again!

Thank you for your words.

In this release, the biggest improvement over v3.1 is the smoothness with which the zoom level changes, and the integration between Normal Driving Mode & Navigation Mode levels ... selectable zoom levels are only a bonus.

You'll see that anyway ... enjoy!

I see there were exactly 300 downloads for my packaged WinCE 5.0 Emulator with my mod today; now with diaftia and abb1 both retired, I just hope someone will jump in to continue the tradition.

Perfect mod on v3.2 and the smarttrack is just amazing! The smarttrack is very smooth, indeed. Hopefully, somebody will continue with the updates and thanks for all the work. :)You will be greatly missed, Chuck.

Finally back from holidays(vacation?)and gutted to see you are leaving the forum Chuck.Your mods and your willingness to help all who need it has been like a breath of fresh air,and you will be greatly missed my friend.Thank you for all your superb efforts and may I wish you the very best in the future.

Sorry but I don't know the iGo Amigo maps, so I can't really help you out.

Well, I have something new and can't help but willing to share with you guys ... I am working to combine the best of both worlds: AUTO SWITCHING between SmartTrack (2D/2D North) and SmartZoom (3D) while you change between 2D/2DN/3D map modes.

If you guys are interested, DON'T just sit around and wait , DO show your enthousiasm LET me know and I will find a moment to upload it once completed.

This would be great! Can't wait to get it. Chuck, I also seem have have run into some memory issue also. If you route a map, then sometimes the radio won't show in the bottom right corner. The radio would still work fine, though. That never seemed to happen with the previous version. Not sure if the new smarttrack feature is taking a bit more memory or not. Still, it's a great version otherwise.

If there is a memory issue, then you should see a message from Windows CE saying so. Did you got a Windows message? If so what it said?

As for the radio icon on the bottom right corner, there is an option for that, which is called Audio Bar ON/OFF, settable both from the on-map menu icon or from the "Sound Settings".

SmartTrack features take up only a few bytes of RAM and a few kilobytes of ROM memory, not MB.

Good lucks!

No windows message. So I do now recall that it is the setting that I must have hit and that set that audio bar off. Now you've recalled for me how to set the audio bar on/off. Thanks Chuck, for quickly trouble shooting that problem. This version is very good, indeed.

I knew you could't stay away Chuck Really looking forward to trying any new additions to your already magnificent mod.

According to my posts, I should have stopped modding twice already ... my wife is really not very happy!

Great news Chuck, we eagerly await your update! One question if I may, after I copy the GFX folder to my unit for some reason Pioneer blue and Red no longer show a blue sky and clouds in 3D mode, it is just grey. If I delete the GFX folder, the sky once again shows up. Any advice? I like some of the custom schemes but find the Pioneer red to be my favorite while driving in cities. Thanks!

Thanks chuck88

Cant wait for your update.

Keep up the good work.

That is because the files found in your newly copied "GFX" folder either overwritten those already in place. If GFX folder doesn't already exist prior copying, then the new GFX overwrite those within the same folder inside the DATA.zip file.

You have to know what you're copying. This could be a problem because you're switching from another mod, with a different set of GFX. In my mod, I provide a couple of the nicest day/night schemes with a minimalist GFX folder, 8 MB instead of 140 MB in abb1's schemes. See first post for instructions.

Yes please. <bows>

There are probably a lot of folks like me that check this forum every day or so for updates, but don't post very often. Believe me your work is appreciated. If my F90 died today, I'd go find another one just to be able to run your mods.

merci chuck pour le travail effectuer j'attends la mise a jour

I would need a US/CANADA volunteer with an AVIC F900/X910 supporting MSNDirect to test my new update. Any volunteer out there? Please PM me!

There are lot and lot of unused scripts and user-interface graphics associated with MSN v2.0 and waste lot of CPU resources and RAM. I dont' have MSNDirect so I can't test this "faster" and simplified version.

Hey Chuck. I installed your mod from stock, and followed you instructions on the first page exactly but for some reason got the grey skies with the Pioneer blue and red day schemes. Maybe something wrong with my update to 3.1? Anyways, I copied all files and folders from the data.zip GFX folder and replaced the ones in the GFX folder you provided and now everything is working as it should. Thanks for the helpful advice!

Ryar,

Like I said, it must be the left-over portion of the GFX folder from another mod; since those files are outside the data.zip, they have preseance over those within. Believe me you still have close to 120 MB of UNNECESSARY and UNUSED data inside the GFX folder right now, while mine needs only 8 MB.

Here is what you should do IF YOU ONLY WANT TO USE MY SCHEMES inside \CONTENT\SCHEME:

1) Select Pioneer Blue Day and Night as schemes

2) Boot to TestMode

3) Make a backup of GFX folder then delete it completely

4) Make a backup of CONTENT\SCHEME folder then delete it completely

4) Copy the tinny 8 MB GFX folder and CONTENT\SCHEME folders from my release to their respective locations

5) Reboot AVIC

I have a F90 that supports it, but the MSN Direct around here has been turned off at whatever radio station provided it. Last time it updated was back in March. Suck.

Great job on this. Breathing new life into my unit!

Problem however as I was tooling around and selected a map I don't have in the UI that allows one to select an alternate map. I cannot figure out how to correct this as the unit keeps rebooting and generating an error that it cannot find the map. Where is this preference stored? I tried re-installing the MOD but still no go.

Help please

Frequent "Out of memory" problem

Hi, I use your mod for a while but on the newest version often I get "out of memory" windows ce box with OK to close. After I close the box, the Igo software is unusable, I have to reboot the AVIC.

Do You have any idea what can be wrong, I have over 200MB free on the flash drive. If you want I can send you the crash.txt file from avic.

Moreover, can you tell me how to add position "Restart" to the Debug menu in the system settings? You added there e.g. "Open explorer, Process watcher, etc...".

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Jason for your nice words.

There is no setting saved for the selected map. All maps should be stored under "My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo\CONTENT\map". If you have toggled between Navteq and TeleAtlas maps using the MAP Changer but you DIDN'T create a folder called CONTENT\map_nt with the basemap.fdl AND at least one map in it, you're running into trouble!

To correct the situation, boot into TestMode and rename the map_ta or map_nt to map. To be able to use the Map Changer, you know what to do now (i.e. see above).

Good luck!

Can you provide steps to recreate the "out of memory" problem? You can also provide me the crash.txt but to be honest, I never look into it before (never got problem).

For your second question, you can try to execute the Custom script under the "Application Menu 1" (on map popup menu), and the shortcut to the RESET will be created and accessible from the WinCE Start Menu.
