Amigo Ultra Skin 1.0.14

Hi, I installed the ultra skin last week and today, I found out that the speed limit in not correct.

I'll try to explain it clearly Razz

On the highway, it says that the speed limit is 161 Shocked

. I wish it would be that, but it's really 100 Km. It seems that the gps thinks that the spped limit is 100Mph and tries to converts it in Km... which is 161.

My settings are in Km by the way.

So the GPS says that I'm going at 100Km and that the speed limit is 161. If I sets my settings in Mph, the gps than change to say that my current speed is 66 and the limit is 100 (Mph).

I read some thread in the forum and didn't find anything. Maybe I missed something in the sys.txt file. Or maybe it's not even a problem with the skin but with the map itself.

Could someone please help me out.

I'm using the latest Amigo version with the 2009 maps.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm actually using AMIGO 8.4.2.95590 (Jun 23 2009) with Canada 2009.02 (TeleAtlas 090410) map.

I'll try to get the April 8th version to try it on. I will test it tomorrow.

Thank you

It's supposedly fixed with a firmware update of the device. But since I run it on my mio C520, I cannot update the firmware for this.

My only possibility is to get the speed limit to warn me at 70% of the actual speed limit. It will be close enough to what it should really is.

thanks anyway for your help.

Is it possible to add a Coordinate Search to the skin?
I believe that the DJ Amigo skin has this but I've a big preference for your work.

I'm using your latest version at the moment... which is a vast improvement on my original one.

Additionally... a GPS signal status page and compass would be nice ;)

Have a nice day!

Sorry... just noticed you'd already answered this.

thanks for your amigo skin linknet, it really is a great improvement over the standard skin, while keeping amigo "simple". i used to use mainly igo8.3 until amigo came out, and at first thought i wouldn't switch because amigo didn't have enough features, but in the end i realized i didn't really need most of the extra features in igo8 that weren't available in amigo... at first there were a few that i really missed though, which kept me on igo8 for a while, until your skin came out and covered just about everything that i found missing, so now i'm mainly using amigo with your skin. i do still miss the compass, but can live without it (i read your previous post about this and understand your reasoning). there is one other thing i really miss from igo8 though: the possibility to switch between keyboards when you're in keyboard input mode. igo8 has a button that allows you to toggle between the available keyboards, so if you need characters from another keyboard while you're typing, it's a simple matter of pressing a button to toggle to the respective keyboard. in amigo, you have to exit from wherever you are, get back to the main screen, go into more - settings - regional - keyboard, change the keyboard, and then make your way back to where you were in the first place... this happens to me a lot, as i'm using the israel map but modified the language file so that it would show me the menus etc in english, but the street names on the map in hebrew - and i sometimes need to enter addresses in english and sometimes in hebrew...

in any case, if this is not too complicated to do, it would definitely be much appreciated. if not, that's of course understandable and i'll continue using amigo with your skin despite this drawback (at least for me it's a drawback; i realize it is probably irrelevant to many...)

thanks, and keep up the good work Smile

Hi Linknet,

I am using the latest version of your skin on a device with 480x272 resolution. It all appears to work ok except that when I go to Settings/Regional/Voice Language, I can change the voice ok but there is no back button to get back out unlike the standard skin. So once you are in there the only way out is a reset.

Cheers, Ian

Hey linknet,

I do miss an "Advanced Road Blocking Facility". When do you expect to implement that feature? Or perhaps "Simple Road Blocking"... Very Happy
