I think the poster may have meant that you can see the 'current' street name listed in split-screen mode if you look at the right hand side of the screen - not street names on the map though...

what this guy said. on the map side, i see major highway numbers,
but no street names. the current street that i am on appears to the
right of the map display. sorry for the confusion.

Okay, then, same thing here.
I really miss the street names though. It would be a nice hack, wouldn't it?? :-)
Anybody up for the challenge? :-))

I thought everyone who preferred the pointing North option would appreciate this one

Hi Martin,

sorry to bother you, I would like to test what you suggest, but pls clarify me followingI ahve now insatlled since yesterday V26.09 working Ok for the moment (where´s the prayer smilie ?)

On yr directory there are two V26 modified versions:
- V26 perspective mode updated Feb 21
- V26 toggle Feb 23.

I understand I shall download the toggle one, 60 something Mb, no zip, and burn with alcolhol slowest way. And then insert the CD directly on top of the V26.09, no downgrade to V25 or similar. Is that OK? If yes, I will proceed on monday after return to work and post the "experience".

edit: I have just realised there is a second version V26 3D toggle. WHich one shall I use?

Another question, meanwhile I have donwloaded the 2006-1 roadmap (Europe). Unzipped with winzip and burnt with Nero, is that OK?

Best regards
Alex

yea I do not know about doing anything that would not be Kosher, but the choice is yours on the files to install.

Toggle has one perspective mode Direction of travel
Toggle 3D has TWO perspective modes, Direction of travel and pointing north
Perspective has ONE perspective mode and NO toggle to choose pointing north except when you switch to full screen mode you can choose pointing north

Since you are at v26.09 you can just install any of those choices you want

Martin,

Which version would you REVERT the Mk4 back to before loading your hacked versions?

I am reverting back to v26.09 each time (and each time it goes into German Language mode!) but is it better to go back to V25?

Is there any way that the new releases can have the version number updated so we can revert back to a clean V26 each time or is it still not known yet where the version number is?

I am just off to put on the 3d toggle version (with modded splash screen logo).

Thanks for the excellent work - and is there any truth in the rumour about this V28 with 3 options enabled?

Mark.

Why should there be a v28 with not even a v27 available? I'm quite sure it will be another version of the 26.09a with altered version strings...

There was a comment in another thread (can't locate it at the moment) relating to a supposed V28 with the same functionality of menu items (the 3 visible items) as V26.09A but with the later OE V26 codebase - it wasn't suggested that it was an 'official' release, more of a 'next release above the one Martin has provided us'.

It doesn't help when those releasing the software patches can't change the version number - I have about 5 CD's cut with various versions.
