Speed Cam readout on Mio3.2

[M8TJT]

I have solved the problem of the speed camera limit and average speed (in SPECS zones) being in Km/H not MPH. The fix involves editing the patch.ui file in data.zip so is not for a newbee. If anyone is interested in my solution, I will post the mods to patch.ui here.

Instructions to follow.
I have contacted Mio several times. I am certain that they do not understand the problem. I sent them quite a detailed email, and they told me how to change the basic units from metric to Imperial. Like I didn't already know. My second brought the response, download the latest. It aint fixed in that either, but I did loose my TMC so back to the Sept 06 version and my mods.

Herewith my fix for the MPH speed camera readout.
I have intercepted the value of speedlimit (vspeedlimit) if the Mio is in Imperial, and converted the value from km/h to MPH in a lookup table before display. The anomaly of the speed limit already being in MPH within a SPECS zone sorts itself out OK because the speed passed to the lookup will be 30, 40 etc. which are not in the conversion table so will not be converted. Similarly I have done the same thing for the average speed (vAvgSpeed) for the SPECS zone. All readouts are in MPH. If your Mio is set to Km/m then no conversion is done, as the speed readout should be OK. :D

You need to make the changes, shown below in bold to the data.zip\ui_mio\Patch.ui file (except the first two remmed out lines of script sc_show_speedlimit). Replace the ~ with open or close triangular brackets as required.

You may also change the size of the text on the graphic so that you can more easily read it now that the readings are more relevant. 8O
Again in patch.ui change the positioning and font size of the readout as below.

~layer ui_warning_layer~
~sprite spr_speedwarn_bg x=78 y=53 bmp="speed_bg.bmp" ~
~sprite sp_camera_type x=80 y=118 bmp="speed_cams.spr" onrelease='speedwarn_end_section'~
~text txt_limit_text text="Limit:" x=80 y=48 w=50 h=20 align="LEFT" fontsize=12 fonttype=buttonlabel_menu~
~sprite spr_speedwarn_bg1 x=78 y=84 bmp="speed_bg.bmp" ~

I am still working on the single alert telling you what type of camera you are approaching. It works sort of OK if the voice and cam alert volumes are set fairly high, but am having a problem with resetting the master volume back to how it was. It tends to stay at the same volume setting as I set it for the alert. Perhaps I'm trying to be a bit too clever.
