Hope I'm in the right spot posting.. I just installed my avic x920bt yesterday and I can't get the 3d maps to show, rather landmarks. When i go to nav settings for it to learn and calibrate I get no response on the 3d bar just the others. What am I doing wrong?

3D Calibration has nothing to do with the 3D Map View.

You need to switch the map mode from 2D to 3D.

Hey there Jason, thanks for the info. I did what you said which I already had it to view in 3d mode. The problem is I never see any 3d buildings/landmarks like whats advertised on the box. I looked while navigating to an address. A friend of mine has the z120bt and he has the same problem. He said the only time he saw a 3d landmark was by the convention center here in Portland Oregon. I drove by it also but nothing showed on mine. Could it be that I need to update firmware?

3D landmarks and buildings are only supported in the biggest US cities. If you don't see them then they are not supported for your area. Also make sure the feature is turned on in the navi settings.

Actually are you sure 3D landmarks and buildings are even supported as a feature of the 920?
