Hi eaglesrest,

Dynamic routing requires a new software in the BM54 radio unit, I just answered Mak7 regarding the possibility of showing MP3 tags in combination with the new disc changer:

Hi there,

Unfortunately I have no PDF or something like this. The only information I have is from the German forum where I am normaly getting my information...

The facts:

The BM54 has different software-versions:

V7.0 - can nothing
V8.6 - has AUX-in possibilities
V9.4 - Has the feature for dynamic routing (in combination with TMC)
The newest version (14.3) has then the possibility to show ID3 tags and can use folders (eith the new cd-changer)

So you need a Radio unit that is build later than week 35/05

For what it's worth guys, I've just done a 450+ mile round trip using this v26.09 and 70 or so miles into the journey my SatNav screen just reebooted. Only did it the once however.

brain training for you guys:
turn
right
or turn right

Hi Martin,

Many thanks to Nomad and yourself for all of this!! Just question, how is Nomad re-enabling perspective in V26? Is he dissassembling the code, and then hacking a few bytes here and there, so that choosing the "Direction of Travel" option, sets the appropriate variable to the correct value for "Perspective View"....or is Nomad dissassembling the code, and actually recompiling it?

Also, how come Nomad isn't posting in these forums?

Thanks again!!

There are 3 map modes:
1. 2D pointing north
2. 2D travel direction
3. 3D

System creates a menu then add clicable items in it:
CreateMenu(...);

AddMenuItem(0, "Pointing Norh", ...);
SetOnClickProc(0, point_north_click_proc, ...);

AddMenuItem(1, "Travel Direction", ...); SetOnClickProc(1, travel_dir_click_proc, ...);

AddMenuItem(2, "Perspective", ...);
SetOnClickProc(2, perspective_click_proc, ...);

ShowMenu(...);

When you select item, the apropiate clic procedure is called.
Click procedure for Point North looks like this:

turn_ON_point_north_mode(...);
turn_OFF_travel_dir_mode(...);
turn_OFF_perspective_mode(...);
RedrawMap(...);

Click procedure for 'Travel Direction' and 'Perspective' modes looks similar.

Each click procedure enable mode you selected, then disable two othre modes.
So 3D mode works in v26.09 and works after downgrade to v26. Unless you select 'Travel Direction' or 'Pointing North'.

Instead of adding another line of code we decided the easier solution was to just modify the two available options. adding a line of code can be risky, modifying a line was the easier path.

He had a post in one of the other threads.

Nice work guys. I'm wondering how difficult it would be to use the V26.09a binary code with the 3 different perspective options and port them into the final V26 version. (I have a background in programming and experience reverse engineering software, but unfortunately no free time to help :( ) I agree, it probably wouldn't be as easy as just replacing one of the views, but using the code from V26.09a would at least be a good framework.

I uploaded the Navboot file to UcrewX5 dissasembled. That would be were you would want to start. Take out the module required using Os9000 and drop it in.

With all of the coding talent here, I am sure someone can figure out how to turn all of the cool features on.

The files Martin uploaded can be accessed at http://www.xoutpost.com/members/ambishop/

As previously stated, keep in mind that these files are still in a testing phase, and should you choose to attempt to load them onto your nav drive then you do so at your own risk.

Enjoy!!

Did it work Jeff?

Thanks for posting these. Let me quickly define the files

navboot 21-Feb-2006 10:48 11.2M
Navboot file V26 -hacked to exchange Pointing North with Perspective

navboot-disassembled..> 21-Feb-2006 11:41 3.8M
Navboot broeken into OS9000 modules for anyone who wants to hack it some more

navboot.zip 21-Feb-2006 11:15 3.7M
Zipped version of first file


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

NOTE: I did not update the mds file. If it gives you an error that the image is larger than the mds file says
Check option 2, to use the file size of the image file! If you do not do this, you will find yourself with a CD coaster
