When you called the dealer, did you give him the part number? usually they are clueless, and try to upsell you the maps for $200... lol... anyways, go into the hidden Nav menu (while in the settings screen, press and hold the menu knob, until the service menu appears)... when in the service menu, go through the options available, just to get to know what is there, and one of the options will be perspective view... set it to ON, and then go back to regular Nav screen... when you press the option for map view for North, or direction of travel, you will see the perspective... select it and - voila!!! remember, with perspective, you will lose the names of the streets (major ones will still be there)...
All of that process is off my memory, so, you might want to do a search just to be sure on how to proceed... trust but verify!!!  |
I honestly had purchased the DVD-R and DVD+Rdl yesterday because I was thinking,"well it says DVD_Video on the nav".. I spent practically a whole hour trying to decide whether to get CD or DVD packs to the point that the guy that was stocking came up to me 30mins later asking if I needed help and knowing that he would be just as lost as myself I said "no thank you" LOL. No I didn't give him the part number and you're exactly correct he TRIED to sell me the 2013 maps DVD for $250, then he transferred me to service because he had no idea what I was talking about and then service transferred me BACK to parts
to the same nitwit, lol. Thank you for the memory info I will verify. NOW
, how do I get the custom splash screens that I've updated my OS, do I just burn those files underneath the stock navOS and do the same procedure? Sorry if I'm back tracking, but there are A LOT of pages for this thread,lol.
