i'm sure it deletes your speedcam directory in igo8/content/speedcam/ since speedcams are illegal in a lot of countries. i guess they really crack down on that elsewhere... i don't think it's illegal in the USA, even though i havent come across one single camera in pennsylvania (i may have in DC though).

[cheerful]

Is there any way to only show 2nd maneuver if it's within certain distance?

Thanks!

When using Megaduck99 version of the diMkaspecter skin 1.0.3 and running IGO8.3.2.64873 in 480 x 272 resolution I have 2 comments.

1. When I fist load IGO it goes to the 'Find' menu and at the bottom in white there is plan on map (not central on its button). Also, in shaded text, is 'home' button. If I press 'plan on map' I notice that the button stretches and becomes longer, and I get FFUIERROR: Unknown object identifier. Identifier = [btn_pm_center] Script "sc_HideBrowsePopup" command 6

Closing FFUIERROR dialog box goes to map screen and everyhting works fine.

If I go to 'Find' menu later, then the plan on map button is bigger and pressing it gives no FFUIERROR.

2. Under settings/TMC, the boxes around the frequency bar and arrows are too big and out of alignment.

By the way, great skin and my favourite on IGO8.0.xxxx, just noticed the above issues on IGO8.3.2xxx

[Raidon]

Thanks for your excellent work.
I am using "diMkaspecter Version 1.0 RC3" and its working like a charm whit 8.3.2. I just wonder if its possible to set the alert distance for the speedcamera warning because i think 1000m is to long, 500m is moore what i think is good.
I know that its possible in the DTE version byt i cant get that one to work i have the out of memory bug whit that...
Thanks again...:D

[gpsjunkie]

I am using "diMkaspecter Version 1.0 RC3, would like to change to colors of the next turn arrow indicators. Anyone know which ui I might find the proper code to edit?

Both should be fixed if you re-download. I don't have a tmc enabled device so it is hard to test,

To get rid of the Out of Memory error in the DTE skin, disable all of the text animations. The diMkaspecter skin has a setting to do this, I don't know if the DTE skin does.

As far as altering the speedcam warning distance, d8389 has said repeatedly that he will not implement it as iGO does a pretty good job itself. The warning distance changes based on your speed. The faster you go the longer the warning (1km is the furthest).

[cartman311]

The dimka DTE skin keeps giving me an FFUIERROR every time I do a search for a POI near the my position and select it as the destination. I’m using IGO 8.3.2 on a C320. Is there any way around getting this error? I like the DTE skin better then the 1.0.3 skin since it has larger buttons and font on the main screen. The 1.0.3 skin doesn’t seem to give me an error.

Is there a version of dimka DTE that is compatible with IGO 8.3.2? I have tried the one, 1.5.31 DTE, on this web site [Only Registered Users Can See Links] and it keeps giving me errors, FFUIERROR, and has rebooted itself a few times. The title states that it works with IGO8.3.XXX but it has 831 in its file name. Is this the correct zip file for 8.3.2?

Yes, the 1.5.31 was conceived for 8.3.1 BUT it work also in 8.3.2. For that grab the latest (v.6) data.zip from JetMouse and use a branding.zip from iconX and will work.

Dafunk Tonimontoia1 Ervius (DTE) work now for transcribing the 1.03 version of diMka which is specific for 8.3.2 and soon will be available.

So far, I have only noticed it showing me not to take a left or right turn, not taking a one way road in the opposite direction.

But: what does the 2nd button in row 3 in the quick menu do?

I am using 320x240 with only 2 rows.

First row:

Bluetooth, 2nd turn, ???, night mode

Second row:

TMC, ???, scale, no turn allowed

The bottom has the usual text

Back, Trip Computer, Next VIA, Destination

The two ??? are what I don't know.

Hi all. My first post on here and I need help:-)

I am using Dimkaskin darkv1531c and how worked everything out EXCEPT the speed camera voices.

When I go to the speed camera settings the lang only gives me Alert sound and various languages (not english) and when I select a language nothing happens. When I go into the camera voice test I can get it to make the alert sounds, but no voices.

Can anyone assist me to get the voice warnings rather than the alert sounds?

Thanks all

I am using v8.3.1.56007 running on 480x234 resolution and all works fine (including TTS). When I switch to diMka RV831_1519 skin (modified by Wertrv for 480x234) everything seems fine except on 2 screens ( trip information and GPS) where the right side is not correct - see below. The information on the right side (e.g. GPS time, Altitude, Speed Limit) is "pushed" over towards the centre. It is not critical but does anyone have any ideas as to how to solve it?

How do you make arrows smaller? I use the care icon, but arrows are so big they show on the sides of the car. I know how to do that in the default skin (in sys.txt), but those settings seem to be ignored by dimka skin.
Thanks

add to sys.txt:


[map]
3dcarsizemin=3000
3dcarsizemax=5000
3dcarsizemul=9000


it shouldn't matter what skin you're using, this will shrink the arrow down so it doesn't appear that your car has wings :)

Correct. The Australian maps are not yet compatible with the newer versions of Igo, so I'm still on the 8.0.xxxxx versions.

Right now i'm stuck with the dings for speed cameras, not the voices.

I did not refer to that page so that you would download 1.03, but read howto make the voices work. It's explained there.

@ megaduck: Differ the way the voices are located in the audio map 8.0 from 8.3?

Yes, The 1.5.31 skins use the 'old' way where the voice.ini file is in the skin so as long as the directory structure and choice of voice (iGO 2006 vs Ultra) are correct the voice should work.

I too live in Australia and am waiting with baited breath for an 8.3.xxxx compatible map.

Hi all,

I'm using iGO 8.3.2 with the Dimka/WertVRV skin, and I am encountering something strange: when I am driving, there are no signposts visible although the option IS checked in the menu. However, when I do a route simulation or overview, the signposts appear like they should. Any suggestions?

I see it is up to 1.0.8 now...I put the file in my content skin folder, but when I go to skin selection I still only see beta version I am using and defaults, not sure where I am going wrong :confused:

I have a 400x240 and the beta skin works, but not 1.0.6 last I updated and going to now try 1.0.8

:eek: Ah- I see these are rar and not zip files- maybe answered my own question :cool:

[rudagray]

What is the utility.exe program for that is inside the rar files for the dimka skins now?

[cartman311]

It looks like 1.0.9 is up now on the web site. It seems like there has been a new version every other day or so. Does anyone know what has been changed or fixed in these new versions? I’m guessing just minor stuff. The website lists changes in signposts and lane info for the last couple of releases, just wondering if there was any thing else that changed. Also since releases are coming out all the time is there any chance for the next release to increase the font size on the current street and next street names in the 480x272 skin. Right now they’re small and not easy to see while driving, maybe it’s just my eyes.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the great job!

I am using diMka Version 1.5.31c LIGHT on iGo8.0.xxx on Mio C520, and got a couple of issues:

1, On HW with 100 km/h limit, the speed limit reads 161 km/h when unit set to "kilo/meter", or 100 mi/h when unit set to "mile/feet". Obviously, it reads 100 km/h from speed database as 100 mi/h. Looks like I am the only one with this issue. BTW, I am in Canada.

2, BlueTooth is always disabled. Though I am able to point it to the BT application, there must be something that I miss. And I don't like the red X on the BT logo.

Any idea is highly appreciated.

Thanks groovdev. I have been using dimka DTE before and it was giving me errors when I upgraded to IGO8.3.2. I believe that the Killzo skin is also for 8.3.1, but that is exactly what I’m looking for. I just wish that some one would update one the newer dimka skins for 8.3.2 with these features. If I knew what I was doing I would give it a try.

I think greenleaves is referring to the "Dark" appearence of the Dimka skin itself, not the map color scheme. And this is actually what keeps me from using Dimka on iGo8.3 too. I loved the black appearence that was available for the old 8.0 versions.

Anyways, I have been using it fine for a week and today I get an error that says Failed to open file: nightglass.bmp exiting application and iGo8 shuts down. I cannot open iGo8 anymore, that error message shows up on startup.

Anybody understand this error and why it just showed up midway through usage?

Thanks

No, I don't.
I suggest you delete the save folder. Then try starting iGO. If it don't work, re-install. If it works, get a more recent diMKa.
Or wait for a better suggestion.

You need to get the latest dimka skin to solve the problem. I had the same problem with 1.0.5 through 7, and then it seemed to get fixed with 1.0.11.

Does anyone know how to move the no turn icon on the main map by modifying the skin files? I have updated the navigatemap ui file to increase the size of the next street name and turn icons. In doing so they overlap with the no turn icon when it appears. I have not been able to figure out how to shift it down. I can’t seem to find it in the any of the .ui files.

With smart zoom, the airplane icon will show the map with North at the top. I think the old skin used to switch b/w compass and airplane. Now, clicking on it switches b/w compass and arrow. The arrow mode is different from airplane as the top is where you are going. Any way to get it switch b/w compass and airplane?

Thanks!

[sbarro]

fyi, 1.0.17 dark (320x240) - top bar that displays street names / next turn clashes into top left arrow square. also, the speed limit in the red circle is off-center to one side as of 1.0.17 - none of this was in 1.0.13a DE.

What is the difference beween .17 and .13?

BUMP- just to move it back on page 1-
Moderator PLEASE STICKY.

At the time of previous post I tried the latest 1.0.14 and it did not start up in my 400x240 resolution and I had to revert to the 1.0.13(WertVRV), going to try the latest and greatest next chance I get, but updates coming quicker than I type, and many between my site visits.

With smart zoom, the airplane icon will show the map with North at the top. I think the old skin used to switch b/w compass and airplane. Now, clicking on it switches b/w compass and arrow. The arrow mode is different from airplane as the top is where you are going. Any way to get it switch b/w compass and airplane?

Thanks!

Found a solution: In arrow mode, click any where on the screen to bring up the 5-6 buttons on the left. The 2 at the bottom are used to switch b/w the 2 views (arrow and airplane).

Could you please explain to me how you achieve the following:

"2. Added settings, variable and scripts so that house numbers will only show within a set distance of the destination."

I would like to incorporate this in my own script.

thx!

[TerraWan]

btw i don't need the full control, i don't need the menu settings. I am ok to set the "distance to show the house numbers" fixed in the code

[adamding]

I wonder if anyone else have this problem: whenever I do a POI search, the application exit automaticaly... I am using generic wince4.2 device with both igo8 r1 & r3 installed + latest diMka skin from megaduck. I suspect it might be lack of enough memory? My one has 64MB on board...

[rockblock]

I've added different fonts to the original diMkaMegaduckSpecter skin (400x240):

[Only Registered Users Can See Links]

1. Unrar file in temp folder
2. Copy fonts in iGo8 main folder
2. Copy skin in skin folder
3. Reboot

If you like these fonts better, for future releases just replace the following:

1. FIRST Replace "tahomabd" -> "FtraBd__"
2. Then replace "tahoma" -> "FtraMd__"

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

[wiiman]

Might sound like a dafrt question but

How do I get the "words" to appear on the left hand side of the cockpit view?

I can get the numbers such as "time to destination" and "distance to destination" but i cant get it to tell me what the numbers are.

It shows both letters and the numbers in the screenshot.

[robhurlburt]

How do I get the "words" to appear on the left hand side of the cockpit view?

you can't, it was removed if you have a smaller screen size

[troycarpenter]

you can't, it was removed if you have a smaller screen size

I'm not sure what the definition of "smaller screen size" is, but the words do not appear on my Moov 200 (which I would call "small"), or on my C520 (which I would not call "small").

The labels are in the DTE version, but it is pretty old now. The screenshot is very old, so think of it as a rough estimate of what the skin looks like.

Hi , may be I am OT, If yes I ask sorry.
I'm testing dimka megaduck99/specter alpha2 on the HTC Blackstone and I try to modify the speed on main screen because the numbers are ok untill 99 Km/h over that speed is impossible to see the correct speed, in the field compare only 3 lines like |||
If is simple, could you tell me how solve that little bug?
thanks a lot,

After finding my destination, the skin takes me to the map preview screen where I can finally click "destination" button. My question is: can I permanently change the scale of this preview map screen? I know I could click "+" button, but I do not want to keep doing it every time.
Thanks

Any way to put an option to show Arrival Time or some other customizable field for those people who don't want to show the Left panel which can take up a lot of room for smaller screen GPS's? I also run into difficulty after a route has been established, making the trip info panel on the left disappear after clicking the arrow to make it come back. Before a route is established, you can just tap on the panel and it goes away, but afterwards it stays put and just changes what it displays. With a 320x240 screen, I would rather have the option to show a field like Arrival Time in place of the Speed or the Panel arrow icon. Can this be done?

Thank you.

I know the diMka skin for iGo 8.3.2 supports both landscape (320x240) and portrait modes (240x320). is there any way to force it to be portrait when it REALLY wants to be landscape?

I tried adding into SYS.TXT the following:

[inteface]
.
.
portrait=1
landscape=0
width=240
height=320

But that did nothing (even after a power off/power on = hard reset), it still went into Landscape mode. The device is fairly new RW200 (Rightway) belonging to a firend.

[IlluminiX]

Thanks! Didn't know that! Is there a manual of some sort which describes what the long taps do or is it just trial and error? Could my main suggestion be attempted? I don't need too much information - just one field to be customized to the user's preference. Thank you!

You might want to give the kikker skin a look as it has the data fields along the bottom of the screen in landscape mode.

Well I have tried Gurjon which looks similar, but really I just would like one customizable field and this skin is nearly perfect for its other attributes so if my request is doable it may fall into the amazing category.

[apod]

I've been trying to use these skins with iGO 8.3.1, i put the zip file in the skin folder. When I try to open the skin in iGO, it says that the program needs to reset. After resetting, nothing happens, the skin is still default skin. I am running iGO from an SD card, could this be the problem? Or do I need to add anything to the sys.txt?

i'm am having the same issue and am runing from my sd card as well! my mio c320 completely reboots though after i press the yes button to reset the software once the new skin is selected.

So. I have noticed one big problem.
I have a C710.
My unit reboots if i get a TMC-messeage about something along my route.

It works great until i receive one TMC-message about a blocked road that affects my route. If i just stay at the tmc-msg-screen nothing happens (i can see the message affecting my route) but if i try to exit the screen the unit reboots. It does so when navigation too as soon as the gps receives the TMC-message... other TMC-messages works fine as long as the incident dont happens along my planned route.

What to do?

So, i discovered how to make it work but not in the way i want.
I want to manually decide if i want to reroute... but that makes the GPS reboot. If i choose "Auto" it works..

"Recalculate to Avoid Traffic - Automatic" - Works.
"Recalculate to Avoid Traffic - Manual" - reboots the unit if something comes up along the route.

d8389,

The route progress looks great! I posted a picture so everyone else could see it. It is the blue gauge with the white lines. It shows the route progress. at 1/2 way, the white bar will be in the middle... It moves across as you get closer to your destination. Very cool.

When did you add the clouds and stars to sky :D

I do not see that in the 400x240 WertVRV v 1.1.7

any special settings, or were you just making the website images look nice?

I just tried scheme and got a failed to open file gfx/sky1.bmp and exiting application...

[rudagray]

got it fixed added GFX folder placed under Igo root folder...

I did notice one thing, after going into menu screens I get different right side buttons Simulate, Address, POI, Fav, Find, Back...

Back puts it into what I was used to, but how can I get those other buttons without going into menu and back to cockpit view?

I'm also trying to always get the same tilt angle? Seems when I try to modify onscreen the up/down does not have small enough increment, or I have to go all the way up and then back down(or all the way down and back up-one of those)

Also when I go from 2D to 3D or when driving it does that automatically it comes back at different setting then preferred?

Is there anyway of making the Overiview mode do a track "up" instead of "north" I like the overview mode but wish it was changeable, also is there anyway of making the map totally speed sensitive? On my Dual's original software it was like that and I miss it. It was both distance and speed sensitive, the faster you went the further it zoomed out. And when you where going at slow speeds it stayed close to the ground.

Thanks :)

You probably need to run 8.3.2. The skin is not guaranteed to work in 8.3.1 and recent reports here and elsewhere seem to indicate that it doesn't like 8.3.1

I have a question! In the 8.0 Dimka/Specter 1.5.33Light at night the compass is in a very nice shade of blue. In the Dimka/Specter 1.19 ver the compass is a white color. How or what do I need to modify to change it to the pretty blue color.

The other question I have is how could I change the route line in the schemes. I'm particulary interested in turning it either lavender or purple.

Thanks for all of your hard work in making these skins and schemes. :)

MANUAL ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])for diMkaspecter skin

[bazsi]

Specter,
hi I use ur modded dimka skin for a long time. I populated it on many forums. I used it on PNA resolution 480x272, untill last week. When 1.1.10 version came out, and the skin is no longer worked with 8.3.1.xxxx like before did. The new 1.1.11 also the same. (I know it's not tested on 8.3.1, but it worked) And the error : After starting igo it reboots the PNA after "GEODB CTOR". dimkaspecter83_1.1.9a worked.

[jin5]

how do we change the car icon ? i downloaded the 200 car icon file and it said to extract it in the igo8/car folder which i did, but there is no " car menu" ? thanks

hi Specter or Megaduck99,

I found the error, It's not really an error.
"ui_igo8\480_272\loading.bmp" is new and compressed :eek:, and the older ver can't use it in compressed format. I changed to the old NOT compressed loading.bmp and the skin is working.
Pls. fix it then we 8.3.1xxx users can use ur work in the future.:)
Keep up the good work, best regards:
Bazsi

How do we increase the amount of 3D zoom out? It seems to be limited to about 1000 ft?

thanks to d8389 for creating lots of new VGA graphics, now this version looks much better than the last.

[myndwire]

Again, I know this doesn't get communicated much, but thanks for all of your hard work on the diMka skin, guys. We really appreciate it - We've been using the skin since it's earliest stages and are still more than happy with it and the plentiful features that it unlocks within our devices! You'll always have plenty of version-testers with all of us forum geeks :)

I can't seem to get the radar warnings to either popup or verbally warn me of upcoming radars....

I have IGO 8.0.0.54000 with the DimkaSpecter 1.5.33a Dark loaded with the additional UK audio files.....

When I go into the warnings page & choose the '...' next to speed camera warning, I can press Type Male & it toggles to female & I here the message "Mobile camera speed limit not available" so I'm assume the audio is working....in addition I select the '...' down the bottom right & on the next screen, pressing the icons gives me something like "Speed Camera 60km/h"

The sound files are set to Ultra

I have recently uploaded the latest camera file & the cameras appear on the screen, but there are no warnings....

Note that all my testing is with the simulation mode of a route taking me pass a known camera location.

Any ideas?

so...where do the cars go? I tossed the cars folder directly into my igo8 directory - \Storage Card\iGO832\Cars

but it crashes when changing to another car:

Failed to open file:
car_pad.bmp#2
exiting application.

I'm assuming the cars folder is in the wrong place...unless it's somewhere hard-coded to use a specific folder to reference the car files...

Same here...and my folder name is exactly like yours...mind you that I cannot get Radar announcements to work probably due to the same hardcoded folder name (igo8 instead of igo832).
I did try to search the zip for the 'igo8" string but came up empty...maybe WinRar screwed up.

after reviewing the centering of the car in 480x272 on my c720t, i'm going to conclude that something's up with 1.1.11a at least for that resolution, because the default cars are off center to the left regardless.

i guess i'll hold off until there's more specific instructions and the kinks get worked out :)

same with 240x320, cars are off center and are too big in both car selection screen and route screen.
I did change the size of one of the bmp's and that made it center on the road so I suspect the 104x70 bmp size is wrong.

sorry to knock it, I really do appreciate the hard work you guys do.

do your non-stock 'cars' work? if so, are you using the \Storage Card\iGO8\ default structure? I may try swapping it to see if that fixes it, but it really should just work based on the sys.txt absolute path for app=

Yes I can get all cars to work with default \Storage Card\iGO8\.

I have found an older version of the cars and the bmp's are 70x47 and the most recent cars are 104x70.

with the older ones 70x47 everything is in proportion cars are right size on screen and in menus and are centered on road.

not able to get the selectable cars workig on my c320.
downloaded 1.11a , extracted the cars to igo8\cars
went to the cursor car select screen ( the mini is already off centered here) clicked on the car select icon then it presented me to a an External Car Select screen that gave me 4 buttons: Modern / Motor / Nostalji/ Lux Otolar

if i click on any of them it errors out with something like Failed to open file: car_pad.bmp #2. exiting application.

I have a question re the data fields & how they are displayed....

Without a route we have the four top fields displayed....really there are only 3 that actually mean anything in this mode..

I have Field 1 off & then Compass, Altitude, GPS Time

Now the problem comes when we have a route because I now have to select between Compass & Off OR Altitude & GPS Time for the top two display fields....Ideally I would like to show those 3 items for both modes.....& add more for routing....

Your thoughts?

[StormyKnight]

1 more question - bug perhaps...

I selected Route Status or something similar, now IGO complains it doesn't have a file...

ui_igo8/common/small_flagsvga.spr & the shuts down....

Where does IGO save the status of the Data fields?

Thanks

[StormyKnight]

PS...I renamed another .spr file & added to the skin zip & IGO works again.....can you guys have a look at this....

Cheers

Also found another cosmetic glitch... Settings screen bottom section the bottom bar is incomplete & you can see the wallpaper thru it.

Here is how mine is setup.

Top Data Field

1: Off
2: GPS Elevation
3: Compass
4: GPS TIME

Bottom

Field 1: GPS elevation
Field 2: Distance Remaining
Field 3: Time Remaining
Filed 4: Arrival Time

So when your not in a route it shows
GPS Elevation
Compass
Time


when in a route you see

Compass
GPS Time
Elevation
Distance remaining
Time to Destination
Arrival Time at Destination

for 1.11 800x480 the word MENU is off the button on find cockpit screen, and with a route cockpit screen the word menu goes into the bottom bar further off the button.

Thank you , changing skin to light worked.
how do we create our own cursor?
i tried to make one the same 70x47 as the others, but the white wont become transparent.
thanks!

[StormyKnight]

I found another, it seems that when 'time to manevour' is choosen for any of the top fields, the GPS Elevation is shown instead....

[myndwire]

i just put the new themechanger stuff in place, but the last step says:

4. Then you can set the time you want it to stay in dusk or dawn color.


where do you do that? there's nowhere to do that anywhere... also, there's a newer xerses schemes (v10) on igo8mods.com if someone wants to use those too.

any ideas? i cant find anywhere to set any sort of time period to change... i know day/night simply use the gps time based on location, but i have no idea where to set times for the 2 other mid-schemes...

[cartman311]

I’m using dimka 1.1.11b DARK 480x272. The car is off center when I select the default car. Does anyone else have this problem and is there a fix for it? All the other cars are center when selected. I only have this problem with the default car.

quick question. With the diMkaspecter1.1.11c_Dark, I can no longer see sky as I am navigating. I used to be able to change the default tilt in 3d mode by setting the following in sys.txt

[interface]
maxzoom2d=6000000
show_exit=1
defaulttilt3d=9000

[smartzoom]
minangle=0
maxangle=78

[map]
3d_max_tiltlevel=10000
3d_max_zoomlevel=3000
3d_min_zoomlevel=40
3d_max_zfar=2000

This showed a bit of sky with older diMka skins from a few months ago. Is something different with these new skins that don't allow tilt the same?
Is there a way I can see sky while navigating?

Thanks,
-J

[miatawnt2b]

and another quick question...

I can see the navigation arrow behind the car. It looks as if the car doors are open since the car icon is really just overlayed on the arrow. Is there a way to make make the nav arrow disappear so it doesn't stick out under the car icon?

Thanks Spector, I also have used those 3d settings.....

I'm assuming the zfar is how far to the horizon stuff is drawn?

Also, the presets in the skin for tilt & zoom, where are the details saved so I can make the default setting in sys.txt the same as one of those so that it always starts in my prefered position?

Thanks

Been meaning to ask, maybe already answered...

When It automatically goes from the 2D view back to 3D when I get within 2 miles of my next turn the screen is not on my gps location and is delayed by the 20 seconds to return or I can click on the arrow to return... Is the skin causing this issue? Where can I fix this, maybe I have a bad line in my sys.txt?

YEs, the skin is causing this. There were several versions of the diMka skin that when returning to 3d view were not in follow mode. They then would wait for the time specified in the settings before following the GPS.

1.1.11 does NOT suffer this problem, try updating to a newer version.

[Specter]

anyone using VGA=1 in their sys.txt file and using the dimka skins will want to download them again. The VGA graphics have been updated. Thanks to WertVRV, the 400x240 has been almost completely redone. Even the menus in 400x240 use high resolution images now.

[ipse]

Guys...I love this skin since it integrates very well with my C520 screen (info on the side)....

I have one question though...can't seem to find a way in sys.txt to adjust the angle and zoom during navigation...why does it look to me that it's too far zoomed out and the angle too low...
I have seen some comments on this but since it's trial and error (no one had concrete values) I never got it right.

Any suggestions? Thanks

I am using a dimka skin for igo 8.3.2 on an sd card that i put into a pioneer gps. Everything for the most part works great, but one thing i've noticed is in settings i keep clicking on automatic in color profiles to automatically change from day to night but it never changes and i have to manually switch everytime. Then when i go make to the color profile settings its not on automatic anymore everytime. Any suggestions on something to fix this?

It's definitely not a skin problem...check if your clock is set to sync with the GPS time and if the timezone is correct.
But the fact that the setting is not saved makes me think you have something in your sys.txt that affects that.

[eurotuner29]

Your right! Thank you. There was a line named auto_nightmode in the sys.txt and i commented that out and it seems to be saving automatic now.
I guess what i didnt realize is if something is marked in the sys.txt, that overides any changes made in the skin manually, therefore the next time i boot up it will default to what is in the sys.txt.

[eurotuner29]

I know there is a super sys.txt thread but is there anything that tells you what each indiviual line means or does?

[gpsr0cks]

I agree with eurotuner29, we should try to build up a real database of what these features are and descriptions for each one.

If someone could get that started, I'd be interested in writing an "iGo Configurator" that would read/write sys.txt files, so one could easily tweak everything.

Unfortunately there is not an easy way to do that. you should check out 1.11f, the graphics are much better. All the map screen buttons are new as well as the quick menu. and more....

i've been used to using the dimkaspecter_dark version (1.1.11d - most current). from what you're saying i should be able to use the latest wertvrv (1.1.11.7) and get better graphics? I tried dropping that skin in place of the old one, and it just errored out on me, and eventually ran out of memory...

i'm guessing it's just for devices that support 800x480 in high-res? the reason i ask is because i was under the impression that the mio c720t would be able to accommodate the higher res graphics...

[rudagray]

YEs, the skin is causing this. There were several versions of the diMka skin that when returning to 3d view were not in follow mode. They then would wait for the time specified in the settings before following the GPS.

1.1.11 does NOT suffer this problem, try updating to a newer version.

I used the 11f and still the issue- not sure which data.zip I am using- do you have a link to the c version you speak of- ppcwarez thread?

Also I am interested in getting car selection working.

Are my issues with 800x480 unique?

looks like the mio C720t has 480x272 resolution. so you won't need the VGA graphics. it is for 640x480 and 800x480.

below is a quote from WertVRV, it may solve your memory problems.
NOTE: Recommended parameters in sys.txt for PDA with 64M memory (only if you have out of memory errors):
[debug]
reserve_memory=1835008 ; DO NOT USE ON SMARTPHONE
cache=262144

The wertVRV has several other cool features he has added that the other version of the dimka skin don't have.

i don't have the issue on my GPS but have it on the emulator i am using. Both use the same data.zip. i think it may have something to do with the save.ini. there must be some funky setting in there that is causing it.

Thanks for the info -- I'll stick to the 1.11.1d+ dark tree of releases then. I just can't wait until someone figures out the TMC licensing thing in the USA -- I'm getting sick of using MioMap 3.3 when i need traffic alerts, hehe.

[jnesmith]

I have a basic question about the diMka Megaduck99 skin. When I use it, the defualt map view is 2D, and zoomed way out. I can easily change it to 3D using the icon, but when I enter the menu and then return to the map, it's back to the zoomed out 2D view. How do I change it to default to 3d?

Thanks.

What exactly is the process to be able to choose different cars? I put the folder Cars in the igo8 directory but nothing is working. I'm using igo on a pioneer gps so i dont know if that has something to do with it or if i'm just missing something.

Yeah, I'm having the same issue. I'm unable to select any other car.

[kitzie123]

Thanks for your skin.....love it, but when I try this version Version 1.1.11.7 A B PTCA 480x272 res, next street always shows as final street and does not change street name as journey progresses.

Is that how it is suppose to operate?

In DiMka Wert 1.1.11.7_ABTCA on Asus R700: I can't change other car. If I change the car in another skin - and go back to 1.1.11.7_ABTCA - I can see the new car. But I cant change it (the box that change the cars is without the "...". I downloaded again the small-cars and located in "pna\cars\" directory (with "iGO8\cars\" - same). Thanks:mad:

I'm using diMka skin for 8.0 1.5.33 & I was hoping to increase the size of the street names text in 3d mode...is see a few posts back re a fix for 2d map mode but it didn't work on 3d mode.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Place cars in "iGO8\cars\"

If your iGo8 folder is called something else than iGO8 its not working.
Maybe thats the problem...

I'm using diMkaspecter dark skin v1.1.11d & I am looking for a way to increase the zoom out in 3d mode.

For those trying to get the change of car, go to the Quick Menu option and turn on your car function---second down-fourth column from left...

Then, you can change by holding the icon down, and/or going trough menu-settings-car cursor...

good luck

remember in the QUICK-MENU, you can long hold (tap) to get function:::

Menu/Settings/MapScreen/CursorCar ... - hit the ..., then click on the back of the car in the upper right of that road view- :D finally it opens an External Car Select with submenus, and then opens the different options.

I'm trying to install the Dimka skin to me 480x272 Mio C320 running iGo 8.3.1. I copied everything on from the rar, and went to select skin, where I can choose diMkaspecter v 1.1.11d. However, when I choose it, it tells me the program needs to be restarted, and then when it restarts, it's still using the default skin. Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this?

IN the past this has been caused by corrupt saved data (Particularly saved routes). Try renaming the 'Save' folder in the iGO8 directory and then changing the skin.

If it works then that is the cause.

hey!

(sorry bit offtopic)

i use igo8 with a dell axim (bit older model tho...)
i'm living in germany so will the dimka skin work under "german conditions", too?
or do i need several patches for voices, 3d buildings, etc

take care

[Nabi]

:confused: What are "german conditions", chickenjoe?

You need to make sure that you use a skin that is compatible with your igo version (by which I mean iGO 8.0 plus a skin designed for 8.0, IGO 8.3.1 uses a 8.3.1 designed skin and IGO 8.3.2 .. yes, an 8.3.2 skin. So pay attention to that)
Also you need the german maps, german building and terrain files, german POI's and offcourse german language and voice files.

Hi everyone,
i have some problems with dimka 1.1.11 (320x240).
I can not see the car collection menu and either the voices for speedcams.

Any help?

For the cars, i tried to copy the car collection to /iGO8/Cars and to /iGO8/content/Cars but no new menu. I can only change the color of the car.

and for the voices i've created a new folder call /iGO8/audio and I've copied the voices there but... no new voices. in the menu of speedcams I can only select the lang type to "Alert sound".

Do I have to change something more in the sys.txt or in somewhere else??

Thanks in advance.

No changes to sys.txt are necessary.

For the voices you need subfolders in the Audio folder.

eg. For english the male and female voice folders should be placed in igo8/audio/EN. German, igo8/audio/de etc. Also you must select to use the Ultra voices.

The cars will only work with the dimka/specter/megaduck/wertVRV/DTE versions of the skin, not the original.

Any help appreciated...

I upgraded to the newest 3/2/09 igo8.3.2, and I started fresh with an empty SAVE folder- I do have keep position on road unchecked though...

I still have the problem when it goes from 2D view to 3D view automatically at under 2 miles to Next turn that it is not on my position and requires the delay I have set at 20sec. or for me to hit the arrow...

I'll test keep position on road, but would like to keep that unchecked if possible.

Maybe something in my sys.txt causing the problem?

[xtyler92]

Megaduck99... I love your work and version of DiMka's skin. I have it on all my devices. I have been meddling around with it though, trying to get the buttons in the cockpit (the ones that are transparent) to be bigger. Not for me, but for my mom. She has the hardest time hitting the "menu" button to exit the cockpit. Any quick tips, since all I have done is wreck several copies thus far. I guess is I could just get that one button bigger it would be enough. I still want it to be transparent, just much bigger.

I take it back,,,,The cars don't work with the DTE skin. The POI's do though.

How are you making them visible? The correct way is to go to the manage screen and then click POI and then edit individual groups visibility.

The POI in popup info changes the POIs that appear in the yellow info section when clicking on the map.

Thank you :D!!! The POI now works when edited manually all though a lot of them missing :( but I know its not the skin its NAVTQ and TA . I have another issue with this skin , the rerouting frizzes and you must click on circle to start recalculation . Off road recalculation is selected , some times its unselected by it self . Do you know why its like that ??

[DJEurobeat]

In my view the best skin is The Dimka Megaduck99/Specter version 1.1.11d
much faster fined satellite , change car option works, no problems with rerouting , scheme changer works,little less options then DTE version but much more accurate in main functions, great graphics.:thumbup1:

If you plan a route by specifying the start of the route manually automatic route recalculation gets turned off. Clicking on the recalc symbol on the nav screen forces a recalculation but does not change the off route recalculation setting.

To do that, do a long click on the symbol and that will force a recalc AND turn off-route recalculation on.

Thank you for the tip ;) But still 1.1.11d skin is much better and faster , also in rout calculation is much more accurate. I tried to drive from 1 point to another one using both skins with the same settings of rout calculation and 1.1.11d was much better calculated .
The only thing that could be improved in both skins is the buttons ( they are too small and a lots of times you hit the wrong one ) Is it possible to make them a little bit bigger ??

If you turn the car off you should be able to see the arrow. Check your sys.txt and see if you have made it too small there.

Which arrow do you mean? the one in the panel in the corner or the guidance arrow on the road?
