Enabling Features in the V26 code - Page 8

I tried to give this mod software a shot but I cannot see the Perspective as an option using this modified navboot file, and going from V26 to V23 and then to hybrid V26...

Try going to v26.09 first and then upgrade to v26.00 - Perspective.

There is something we are missing turns the perspecitve feature on initially when upgrading to v26.09. Then once on the v26 - perspective mode software leaves it on.

I used 'Pointing North' all the time before Perspective, and still would prefer to use it when in 2D mode.

I was tempted to download this file, but I'm so sure that by the time I wake up tomorrow (it's bedtime over here...), there'll be a file with even better options available.

Thanks guys for the nice work!!!

So the 3D enabled V26 only works after V26.09? Are you sure that the "thing" you are missing is not some part of the (beta) software that still remains in navi's flash and not just a nvram setting? Navboot file size is bigger in 26.09, what extra module does it have?

Btw. I'm sure you already know this, but just in case someone else has not noticed: the disassembled navboot contains two tools "color_tool" and "config_tool", looks like someone just needs to find a way to run those and we can make config changes. And there sure are lots of config options inside those files...

I did the v26->v26.09->v26-P and there is no Perspective. The new navboot file was processed as stated: GIF[new welcome screen]->ISO[add new navboot to v26]->Alcohol[burn CD]. It loads into the computer but the Perspective is lost once deselected.

I guess that this "upgrade" is trying to tell me something...

not sure if you put it in the correct spot. Try the new navboot file in the other thread. and make sure and put it in the correct folder \V_2\RR\0101\BMWC01S

Yes... \V_2\RR\0101\BMWC01S\app_sw\navboot

I tried the complete v26_perspective.mdf file as described my Martin:

Alcohol 120% version of V26 -hacked. Same format as V26.09 file with ONLY the MKIV nav firmware on disk
v26_perspective.mdf 21-Feb-2006 11:14 67.4M
v26_perspective.mds

I went from BMW released v26 down to v25
Then installed v26.09a beta
Then installed the new v26_perspective (patched 1)

Sure enough I see two options for the Map in ** split screen mode **: Perspective and Direction of Travel

However, if I have the map in Full screen mode, the two options for the map are: Face North and Direction of Travel

Does that sound correct? Meaning I have access to all the different map modes, however does require switching from split to full screen .... ?

Then a funny thing happened. My battery died ... and I had to call AAA out ... now I am up and running again :-)

He, he... that's it. The mod's only for split screen.
