SetPixel is not supported for images with indexed pixel form

Looking at what happens when one updates to 7.02, it seems to update content manager on the hard disk as well. I wish Michelin would issue release notes with patches so that one know what is being fixed and what isn't and whether it is relevant. The problem now is that one can't back out of the patch update to 7.00 and is stuck. I suggest, Gee-Pee, that you DO NOT update until a fix is found.

Sticking with the VM icon for speed cameras for the moment, I am at least now able to add the PGPSW files to my X980 without any trouble. What still doesn't work is trying to change the folders; selecting a new file for the folder content seems to just be ignored, while the usual exception condition comes up if you try to change the icon, although it doesn't then lock everything up in this case - things are still ok once the warning dialog is cleared with 'continue'.

So to update the PGPSW files it would seem necessary to delete the existing folders and replace them with the new/updated ones, until VM sort it out - a bit tedious but could be worse.

Hi All

Sorry that I haven't been in touch for a while but to say that we are busy with the Christmas rush would be an understatement.

I just wanted to update everyone on whats going on and how we are stiull working to support you.

I have a meeting on Thursday with Product Management and while I can't promise that all the issues will be cleared up right away, I do have the list from the site (thanks to you all) and will be going through each issue.

Just to let you know the V7.02 update on the web fixes several problems including:

"Slip Road Flaw": Route would take you off some slip roads then back on again.
- Message "Corrupted data" in Content Manager, under Vista
- Dangerous curves indication (left or right) was random
- System would shut down when deleting a stage along route planning
- No route after download of MyViaMichelin via GPRS
- ... and many wording mistakes that were corrected

We will have an update arounf 17th Decenber to V7.03 which will fix the speed camera download issues some people are getiing and other issues - I will post a full list of what this changes when I have it.

I know that some of you have had an issue with creating new folders when you have downloaded V7.02 and would ask anyone who can to email me a screen shot of this error to show to the developers.

I have now got a direct line to one of the chief software developers on the team and any info you give will be directed to him to make any urgent changes which affect the use of the products. Any cosmetic changes you want to recommend will be taken on board and put forward for inclusion in V8 in March but I think we need to sort out errors first.

Thanks to you all for the support,

Regards

Stu

Hi Guys

I have an answer to the set pixel support issue.

This appears to only happen to people who have used the Pocket GPS Camera database and use their bitmap files.

The issue seems to be with these bitmap files, if you delete them and use our bitmap for cameras it works ok.
We are working on a fix to make the Pocket GPS bitmap work with our software and will get this resolved as soon as possible.

You have to go into the file location below and delete the Pocket GPS bitmaps and then the content manager will operate correctly.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ViaMichelin\ViaMichelin Navigation PND\ContentManager\Dynamic\MyViaMichelin\Bitmaps\Folders

I hope to update you with a full fix as soon as possible,

All the best

Stu

I haven't experienced this problem my self, maybe because I use http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe
to duplicate and resize the images to 16x16 (by right clicking on the image and resizing), rather than resizing the original. It might be worth a try for someone thats having issues.

I use a mix of both PGPSW and my own and there are problems. More importantly, it doesn't address the issue of why it used to work (v7 out of box) and now doesn't (v7.02).

Hi All

Yes we are aware and a fix is being worked on.

I have tried a few things myself and it appears that the PGPSW ones are 16 x 16 but are 256 Colour so this may be the issue. You switch them to 24 bit bitmaps and they work fine.

For the time being you have to just make sure any images you want to use for POI folders on the device are 16 x16 24 bit and this will work fine.

I use loads of my own images including a Michelin man for all the Michelin office location I loaded in to them. Any image works fine whe re-sized correctly.

Cheers

Stu

Well chaps, following Stu's advice to remove the bitmaps, resizing the PGPS bitmaps using Bertie's tool and then trying to update the various speedcam files it appears to have all worked. The Set Pixel error has disappeared completely. Guess I will find out for real tomorrow when I have to journey back up the M4 (again :-( ) and around to Croydon to pick up my son's Xmas present!

I have to say that I have used the unit 'in anger' a few times recently when I have been on routes I never used before and the guidance has been first class and also seems to have used 'sensible' routes which is not something that could always be said about my previous Garmin and Mio units.

I have now invested in the 2 yr update programme so I am planning on keeping this unit for a little longer than previous sat navs. Long may it continue!

Same here - that's bizarre as they are now 24bit (as opposed to 8) so should fail!

Well I'm finally catching up with the rest of you.

Thanks to everybody with their help on this, I have now been able to install the PGPSW cameras and icons without a problem.
