Well I got IGO 8.3 up and running with current AU maps including terrain and 3D buildings, traffic cameras etc. It is really good and blows away the Polnav. :!: I left the polnav on just in case and because it loads faster. I have designed a new nav screen so the you can choose between IGO, Polnav and OZI. I'm happy to share the files for this screen, If anybody wants a copy PM me.

I've also discovered that the upgrade I was sent from Mat at DO makes the core CE system a chinese version and that would be why OZI throws up chinese characters. Does anybody know if it's possible to switch the language of the Op system? I know it's not possible on full blow windows like Vista and 7 etc.

This is the last hiccup I have........

I played with the screen that Matt from DIG Options sends out with the units. Let me know what you think. :-)

What it looks like normally...

And when you press the buttons...

Love this unit! I was considering taking the route that Rod and Quinny took with a CarPC, but this system does everything I want. I do have the radio reception issues that have been reported, but that doesn't bother me much as I usually use a USB stick with music stored. Bluetooth works great with my HTC HD2. PolNav works well, but I'm still sorting out the OziExplorer side of things.

Awesome mate that looks great. I am planning on getting one of these units in the near future so am getting everything sorted before it arrives, can I get a copy of that menu off you? Am I correct in assuming you put it onto your memory card and on the unit go into Options> Navipath and select the menu?

I was planning on using iGo8 and Oziexplorer for CE, are there any specific instructions to get it installed and working properly? I have kind of pieced it together form all of the posts but not sure if there is a full tutorial anywhere.

Cheers!

G'day Harvester

If you get one of the Dig_Options TP09X1s then the menu should already be installed on the MicroSD card. From there you will just modify it to suit the programs you wish to run. As the menu was specifically written for the Dig_Options unit, I'm not sure if it can be shared publicly. Maybe Noodle can advise if we can make our modified versions available on the forum?

Either way, happy to help you where possible. The pictures are in .bmp format, so you can change them to whatever you like with Microsoft Paint, PhotoShop etc.

Yeah mate, I don't care if you modify the program...I really like the one that Luxative made up :D
The only bonus from using the supplied program is the screen is setup for it, and the icons are approx the right size.

I'd save a copy of it first, that way if you do make a mess of it (I made heaps :lol: ) then the base is there to start again.

cheers

Cool, thanks Al. :)

Firstly, as Al mentions, Back Up everything on your SDCard to your computer! Just in case, as you will be messing with files that may stop a navigation program from working correctly.

Here is a link to mine. http://rapidshare.com/files/410579716/NewHilux.rar.html

It contains my slightly modified version of Noodle's menu, the .bmp files, Total Commander and JotKbd (onscreen keyboard). If you wish to set it up like mine, you'll need to download OziExplorerCE (Direct Link) and extract it to the OziExplorer directory on the SDCard, as well as copying your 'street' directory over if you're using PolNav like I do. iGO8 users should be able to set up easily by changing the Command for the On Road Navigation to suit eg. Command = \StorageCard\iGO8\iGO8.exe .

A picture showing the directories that should be on your SDCard, with the Desktop sub-directory shown. The button icons you'll modify are in the icons directory.

Image

Below is the actual menu file that controls the locations of the buttons and what they do when you press them. It is located at \Desktop\Skin\Main.ini

Code: Select all
; ---------------------- Leave this part ------------------------------
GLOBALSETTINGS
ShowMessage = 0
QuitOnDoubleClick = no
X = 0
Y = 0
Width = 800
Height = 480
Arrange = No
BackgroundBitmap = ..\icons\background.bmp
StartUpAnimation = NoAnimation
ShutDownAnimation = NoAnimation
Accelerated = yes
TopMost = no
; ----------------------------------------------------------------------

; ------- This is the On Road Navigation Button ------------------------
; Mine is set up to run PolNav which is named street.exe in the street directory
BITMAPBUTTON
x = 60
y = 80
Command = \StorageCard\street\street.exe
BitmapNormal = ..\Icons\Street Logo 1.bmp
BitmapPushed = ..\Icons\Street Logo 1 over.bmp

; ------- This is the Off Road Navigation Button -----------------------
; DOwnload OziExplorer from the below link
; http://www.oziexplorer3.com/ozice/downloads/v2a/wince_core_runtime_arm.zip
; Extract it to a directory called OziExplorer on your SDCard
BITMAPBUTTON
x = 500
y = 65
Command = \StorageCard\OziExplorer\OziExplorerCE.exe
BitmapNormal = ..\Icons\Desert Logo 1.bmp
BitmapPushed = ..\Icons\Desert Logo 1 over.bmp

; ------- This is the Home Button on the bottom left of the screen -----
BITMAPBUTTON
x = 20
y = 395
BitmapNormal = ..\Icons\Home Button.bmp
BitmapPushed = ..\Icons\Home Button.bmp
QuitOnExecute = yes

; ------- This is the Windows button and gives you access to the WindowsCE Desktop
; Please be careful what files you modify here.
BITMAPBUTTON
x = 129
y = 395
BitmapNormal = ..\Icons\win.bmp
BitmapPushed = ..\Icons\win.bmp
Command = \explorer.exe

; ------- Total Commander (Disk) Button
; Once again, please be careful what you modify using this program. Back Up, Back Up!
; You'll need a keyboard to type filenames, so once you start TC double click JOTKBD. Instant keyboard
BITMAPBUTTON
x = 229
y = 395
BitmapNormal = ..\Icons\TC.bmp
BitmapPushed = ..\Icons\TC.bmp
Command = \StorageCard\TotalCommander\cecmd.exe


Once all the files are modified how you wish and you've copied it all onto your SDCard, whack it in your Dig_Options unit (writing side down and don't force it). After powering the unit on, change the Navigation Options so it points to the SystemInformation.exe file in the Desktop directory. Now your awesome new menu should be up and running, when you click on the navigation button on the main menu. We'll just cross our fingers here, but of course it will be working perfectly!

And here's what it looks like... This is with the buttons pressed.

Image

Please note. I don't own the rights to any of the files or pictures, so many thanks to the people who have created them.

Good Luck.

Cheers

Hi Guys,
Just went to the oziexplorer web site and had a look around. So what are the chance of using the GPS in an iphone while driving? Has anyone tried this?

I might email oziexplorer and see what there view is on this too.

Just thought I'd through it out there.

Cheers, Darmo

I used IGO8 on my weekend 4wd trip and i must recommend it. It knew about a lot of fire trails that was quite surprising

Hey Hayzie

No you dont need to install windows its already there...
Just download and install Ozi from their website. (The easy bit) the ARM version for windows CE ( have a look on the website ) Trial is free.... $40 to licence

Then you need some maps or you will be looking at a blank screen
Prices on website or the net does offer free bies if you look hard ,.,
I got my maps of a friend with the CD of Raster Maps

Sorry to revise an old thread (but I must admit it is a good one!)

Has anyone had any luck with permanently mounting or installing a TV antenna?

If so, where did you get it from etc...

Hey steve, ive never seen the magnetic antenna you are talking about, but is it possible you could attach the magnet side to the A pillar metal frame behind the A-pillar plastic cover? There is a bit of room behind there and it should really have the same effect as putting it on your roof i would assume.

I have the dual antenna digital tv and it was great to watch the world cup games in the morning on the way to work, but im the same, i really have no use for it any other time
