Hi Linknet, I wonder whether you have sorted the speedcam SPECS problem whereby if there are three (or any odd number) SPECS cams on a stretch of road, the second one cancels calculations and the third turns the av calc back on with no aparant method of switching it off unless you restart Igo. MioMap 3.2 has the facility of tapping the speed warning icon to cancel it. It's this and missing 7 character post codes that's stopping me converting to Igo. |

There isn't any way to do this automatically since iGO8 doesn't differentiate between section start, section intermediate and section end cameras. So it always treats the second section camera encountered as a section end.
The iGO8 Ultra Skin 5.0 adds the option to cancel an orphaned section camera which avoids a restart.
The iGO8 Ultra Skin 6.0.0 for iGO8 8.3.2.64029 doesn't include this option since the latest version of iGO8 includes a working "tap" on the speed warning icon to cancel it.

The previous 8.0.0.xxxx version of iGO8 had 7 character postcodes so I would have thought that they would be available for the latest version.

That's what I thought, but have been unsucessfully looking for a fix.

I'll have a look to see how you have done this in V5

They are, but some, like mine, are missing. The next one along the road is there, and mine is in MioMap 3.2. Seems like they have screwed up in the later maps. |

The UK map is strictly 5 character for all areas. In 8R1 all areas were 7 charachter |

@ linknet.
I have had a look at the code in the original data.zip and all the tap on the alert does is hide the readout. The section cam routine is NOT re-initialised and the cancel noise is made on passing the second cam. Whereas, if it was re-initialised the NEXT cam should restart it. |

You need to run a script something like this:
Code: |
{script sc_ResetSpeedCameraAlert}
.warning.speedcam_warning 0
TERM sc_SpeedCameraAlertEnable_Timer
1 run sc_SpeedCameraAlertEnable_Timer
{/script}
{script sc_SpeedCameraAlertEnable_Timer}
100 run '.warning.speedcam_warning 1'
{/script}
|
Where {} represent the arrow brackets.
You may also need to reset the sound type variable back to the chosen value as well since I think that the above will set it to "0".

If I owned a 480x272 device then I could create a skin for it.

@ linknet
Thanks for that. I'll give it a whirl later today and report back.
Perhaps cavemanb will lend you his device for development
Please check your PMs |

Great to have THE skin back! Finally I can upgrade to version 8.3.2.64029
Tried it today on my Kaiser on a 220km trip, works fine!
What would be a really good option, is to have the possibility to hide the roadsigns on a motorway. iGO now displays every roadsign, even if you stay on the current motorway. It show every exit which you do NOT have to take.
In iGO8.0 the lane information did the same but this was not as confusing as the new roadsigns. In bright sunlight it is very hard to tell the difference between the "not to take" exit and the "remain on current" sign.
Either the exit should have a red color (do not use this exit) and a green (follow this exit). Or exits should only be displayed if this exit is to be used.
An option "display only actual exits" would be magnificent. |

@linknet.
The code that you posted above shows a great deal of promise. I.e. It works.
Thanks |

I'm unable to find the 3D Smart zoom setting. Where can I find it in the menu? Looks like a very good option though.
Edit: Found it by RTFM
BUT: What does the setting "Pop-Up Second Route Event" do? Doesn't seem to make a difference when settings are changed. |

I agree, it's very difficult to tell which is highlighted and which isn't. I'll have a look at it when I get time.

I've added a descriptive graphic to the website screenshots page.
This fully explains the "Pop-Up Second Route Event" settings.
