Unlock V7 Navigation 1000 GPS

Step 5 Speeding up the "Fly Over" mode

When a route has been calculated, the MyGuide software will allow you to preview the route in a Fly Over mode. This is very convenient, but can be painfully slow.

Speeding up the fly over is as simple as editing another text file found on the Flash Disk. On your PC, find SYS.TXT in the "Flash Disk\MyGuide" folder.

In the [debug] section of the file, change the line

slowsim=1

to

slowsim=0

The debug section should now look like:

[debug]earth=0slowsim=0loop_sim=1

Save your changes and transfer SYS.TXT back to the \Flash Disk\MyGuide" folder on the V7. Flyover mode will now run much quicker.

Something extra for the device:
1.
I have the complete command list of IGO below:
TILTDOWN
TILTUP
SWITCH_MAP_COCKPIT
ROUTEINFO
FIND_ADDRESS
PUTPINTOGPS
ZOOMIN
ZOOMOUT
ZOOMIN_DISCRETE
ZOOMOUT_DISCRETE
ROTATELEFT
ROTATERIGHT
MOVELEFT
MOVERIGHT
MOVEUP
MOVEDOWN
FOLLOW_OR_ANNOUNCE
MAINMENU
MINIMIZE
VOLUMEUP
VOLUMEDOWN
TOGGLEMUTE
MUTE
UNMUTE
BRINGMAPTOTOP
GOTOHOME
PREVSCREEN
SETTINGS

I map the M key to FOLLOW_OR_ANNOUNCE, so when I press it, it will tell me the route instruction again.

2.
Also I change the IGOPATH.txt to

[modules]Settings = “icons\settings.bmp”, “settings”, 1Multimedia= “icons\media.bmp”, “Multimedia”, 0Explorer = “icons\files.bmp”, “\\Windows\\Explorer.exe”…..Now explorer will always available in the front, with or without SD.3.More, to change the voice you like, take a look in “Flash Disk\data.zip”. Under “ui\settings” there is a lang.ini file. You can edit it to fit your wayFor example, I use English US as the language but I will like to use the UK female voice as the guidance. So I edit that lang.ini….[languages]lang = “english US”, “ui\settings\flag_usa.bmp”, “English (US)”, “english_m1_us”I change it tolang = “english US”, “ui\settings\flag_usa.bmp”, “English (US)”, “english_f1_uk”Now I can enjoy the voice more while still using the US english as the language. Even though I don’t know what’s the difference between US and GB English.

By the way, the GPS device inside is using port 5, 9600 bps, and NMEA protocol. The TMC info is in port 1, 38400 bps. Just in case you install another program.
