Like this:

So far, everything is Ok. I did change the Radio by a 16:9 Screen and when connected all, I cant see the display (This is in black).
I was find out about it and now my questions:

- There are 2 versions of MKIV ???. One for RGB output signals and other one for Monochorme Screen ???.

- If there is one version of MKIV: ist possible to change the Software or firmware to enable the RGB output ?. If is so, HOW ??

Thank you very much in advance by your cooperation and best regards.

Very sincerel,

Javicas.

PD: excuse me my english.

Juasssssssss
Tu english es poco mas o menos que el mio.

It's my understanding that there are different versions of the nav drive and they are not interchangable. If you are changing screen types then you will likely also have to change the nav drive as well.

How do i check which version i have? I know that i have a MKIV with 4-1/60 but how does that relate to the v26 on cd?

Look at the table in this article - http://www.xoutpost.com/navigation/94...ystem-faq.html

You will see that 4-1/60 carresponds the V26, so you are on the latest and greatest.

I can't believe today was the first time I read this thread... anyway... thanks UCrew I did the dl, burn and upgrade today... flawless. And for those who did not notice a difference - you have got to be kidding me! It is soooo smooth now and the font and colors are a huge improvement. Much more like Tom Tom now.

Review of OS v.26 from MotoringFile.com:

Display:

* Much improved Antialiased display (no longer ‘blocky’ looking) with smooth scrolling
* Coloring improved (water, forests, roads, etc - better contrast & much clearer)
* Car ‘icon’ is now much clearer (white ring, with blue triangle, with shadow)
* Destination icon is now a Checkered Flag
* Points Of Interest (POI) icons are now grayscale in white boxes (much cleaner icon design)
* ‘City Center’ or ‘Suburb Center’ icons are now small grey targets which are much more subtle that before
* Use of subtle shadows (on road labels, POI icons, car icon, etc.)
* Street names are easier to read, but only show at scales of 200m or less
* Landmarks (parks, etc) have a font which looks embossed.
* When zoomed out, cities are labeled with a small square next to the name (see images).

New ‘Direction of Travel’ viewing mode:

* Car icon is fixed in its position on the monitor and the map rotates around it
* Rotation is fairly quick and smooth, particularly at lower scales
* this works even when zoomed out to 200km, above which it reverts to a ‘North Orientated’ view

Function:

* POI Icons appear at larger scales (start to be seen at 5km scale of 2km)
* POI Icons can be switched off (Function under ‘Information - General Destinations’ called ‘Disable Icons’)
* When a POI is selected as a destination its icon is replaced by the flag icon
* Route List shows list to the destination even if guidance never started and it updates on the fly.

Where could we find a copy of this lovely update

nitramluap · #**240** 02-01-2006, 07:25 PM

That's great.... except that that is almost a word for word copy of a post I made here back in September 2005 - and I *DID* write it myself. Did they use my images as well, given that their post includes the (see images) quote...?

Do you have the link to that article?
