iguidance V3 issue

shiltz · 04-14-2008, 07:18 PM

I've had iguidance V3 sitting around for ages and finaly got around to installing it today, however i've noticed one issue with it that was fine with V2, the arrow showing where I am on the map is no longer where I actualy am, it shows me a good 75-100 feet or so past where I actualy am, the picture shows what I mean, see the street it's just showing me past? that's the one you can see in front of me thru the windshield. Anyone know what could be causing this?

After playing with it more i've noticed that this only happens in the 3D modes, and the steeper the 3d angle (number 3 was what I was using in the pic) the worse it is, it's almost like the arrow is also in 3d and floating say 100 feet above where you actualy are instead of being on the ground likeV2 had it, also another anoyance is I really can't even use 3D modes 1 & 2 cause the arrow is hidden under the zoom level text :/

How did you do to make your IG buttons look bigger ????

I didn't do anything, that's just what sized the buttons are with the UMPC install of iGuidance which comes with Versions 3 & 4 of the software.

Yeah, it is not very good at following you around and showing exactly where you're at; there are things you can do like reseting your receiver but you risk blowing it up. The best thing to do IMO is find a view that most accurately reflect where you are and stick with it. But remmember, she was not designed to show you where you're at, but to guide you - and it's very good at that.

I was able to get that issue fixed for the most part actualy, I reshacked out the arrow, and resized the arrow 50% (while keeping the image size the same) placed the arrow bottom center of the image so now the arrow is about the same size as the non-UMPC and is pretty close to accuratly displaying where I am.
