I was a little hesitant to use that version since the results have been unpredictable. I ended up downloading V24 for Nero, and that worked just as well for me. I have to say the upgrade to V26 with perspective (and the modded BMW splash screen with the Roundel) was simple and smooth.

Thank you guys SOOO MUCH! You all rock! My Nav system is so much better now than when I bought it.

It's too bad it doesn't show street names though in the perspective mode. If anyone can figure out how to get that working - I'd be more than grateful.

@ programmers:
Is it possible to add "Perspective" mode in the menu to have all three options at once ("Direction of travel", "Face North" and "Perpective") without toggle between split screen and full screen? Or is it a thing that I would never have again, like in version V26.09A?
It would be more simple to choose any of these modes without the toggle trick.
Thanks a lot to all who works on this project to make it possible!

Just to be clear about the mods in the existing program... Are you guys actually recompiling code, or just hacking some bytes to make real basic changes?

no doubt. i definitely like the look,
but i miss the street names. i know
i could use split screen, but it's just
not the same. again though, thanks
a million for this "mod."

Hi,

thanks a lot for showing us the "light". Due to language problems it´s hard for me to post here (I am power poster on the spanish board).

Also I am an absolute greenhorn on this topics, so pls understand my stupid thought. After reading all it is still not clear to me what is the difference between the 26.09a zip and the v26.09- bird perspective.mdf linked on post 28 of this thread?

Which shall I burn to the CD in the case I am willing to risk this?

Best regards from snowy north-madrid.
Alex

i thought the general consensus was to stay away from
v26.09A i, myself, used the file that are mentioned
in this thread. i think the difference might be stability w/
the software. i'm pretty sure others have said that
v26.09A is unstable. i think it was also mentioned that
by using the file that i mentioned, users are getting the
stability of v26, but w/ the added perspective view. i
hope this helps somewhat.

I've just burn to a cd the link uxcrew posted on this thread came out at 58.7mb does that sound about right.

So should I just load this on top of my v26 -09a ????

Really appreciate your help guys.

Fiona.

At least you are brave! However I'd go for a full V26 with customized logo if that's all what you want so you don't have to worry about things the 26.09a breaks or might break.

Languages ...

Hi everybody,

has anyone played around with the languages? I mean, over here in Germany you only get German, English (GB) and French to choose from - all with a female voice.

I don't speak French and the British English, well, let me put it this way: just doesn't sound right for an American ear

So, what I did:
I replaced the GB_F file with USA_F (which was a major improvement ) and just for fun, I replaced the F_F file with USA_M. Now I'm able to listen to the female US voice when switching the language to GB, and to the male US voice when choosing French (although I cannot understand much of the menu text labes, then)

There I recognized that the male voice doesn't talk that much (like in real world - hehehehe - no offense!) So I came up with the idea to replace the German female voice by the male one, too. Actually that's my setup now: GER_M (instead of GER_F), USA_F (instead of GB_F) and USA_M (instead of F_F)

Now, here's my question:
Could those having changed the code for the perspective view think of a way to implement some kind of language selection for more than three choices, or some kind of a female/male toggle for the languages available?

TIA
