Thanks Martin.

Tried that yesterday. It still contains the old splash screen.

Right, but the old splash screen (BMW) can be modified without checksum errors... correct?

Check out BSW_tools around dec location 40,674 are what appear to be some switches for certain modes including OFF ROAD Guidance and Others.

Mine didn't... By taking the old v26.rar and using UltraISO to cut and overwrite v26 with the v26 beta 0101 directory I was able to create a working ISO that

programmed the nav
allowed perspective mode
and eliminated the splash and nag message

is this your result and have you tried modifying the GIF at this point?

Actually, I have a copy of the full RELEASE version, not just the eval.

I can "share" it with the serious programmers

RSZ - hold on to that image file. That sounds like the most promising one so far. When you go to settings, what version does it display?

I'd be happy to chip-in to help buy you guys new cds & perhaps even a little tip - heck, even if you aren't able to get this worked out. I just appreciate the hard work you guys are putting into this. How could a quick paypal account get set up for you guys?... Anyone?

i dont think so

"advice" is for voice advices i think

IMHO there is no variable we can create in tio files to enable 3d in ofiicial v26
all variables we can set are visible througt viewing software files from cd in some hex viewer

there are nothing like "3d_veiw_enabled"
and i think v26 compiled with no 3d option

but i think that code for procesing map in 3d mode in v26 is really present

let me explain:
i think that 26.09a software and any other version has some variable in flash or eeprom where it stores current map mode

lets imagine for example

01 - pointing N
02 - direction of travel
and in our case with 26.09a
03 - 3d view

when we alter navi screen (for example - activation of main menu and going back to navi screen) software knows in which mode to draw map when we return to navigation

i think software checks stored variable and decides how to draw map

in the same way i think it restores mode when we power off navigation module and turn it on again

and in the same way this is why when after downgrading back to v26 map displays in 3d mode

i think when we downgrade software to official v26 and if last map mode was "perspective"
software checks stored variable (in our case there is 03) and draws map in 3d

but if we push button to alter view in this mode there is no option to 3d view
there are only "pointing N" and "direction of travel" options

so only 01 pr 02 can be stored to mentioned place in flash or eeprom

perspective mode in selection menu not displayed because v26 software compiled without ability to display menu option "perspective"

and after that we lose 3d mode

So i think it is no ability to activate 3d mode in official v26

because even if there is ability to display "perspective" in menu = there is code for that, software always decides not to display menu option "perspective"

fot opposite of this software decides to display or not to display depending of map scale option "direction of travel"

i think enabling of "perspective" mode in v26 is not possible
not having disassembler or some tools to discover MIPS cpu code in software

maybe only other way to enable 3d mode is to change only one byte in software which software stores in mentioned place - change 02 to 03 in my case
and not forget to change text message "direction of travel" to "perespective" or something else

and agian this is only possible if there would be some kind of disassembler toll for mips os9000 code

and than we will get two modes

one of them will be 3d

P.S.
on yahoo group "hacktheibus" there some software to calculate crc24 for os 9000 files and some files for disassembler but it is for os9000 mk68
