Thread: Skin iGO nextgen by pongo (LATEST) COPY Netspider mod

a lot of "yelling" about something that works without any problems for countless users.
Verd...., if someone thinks that the skin in some areas is not tailored to their needs, then they should change with their understanding, perhaps offer it here without fuss and with short explanations - that's it....
I know hundreds of users who will use the skin until the end of 2019, are completely satisfied with it throughout the EU, are not at all interested in the "bickering" here and are not reading along.

Hi all

I am for [EOD] End Off Discussion

Yes, what a too big lot of time lost for nothing relevant or usefull all the way !
I never had any issue with this skin which is regularly corrected and updated by Pongo himself

it's in the description, what is fixed, improved, and added. All mods into 19 .zip files. If someone google about this issues will find the topic, and can take only the modified .zip files, or the whole skin.

It's not necessary a problem that you aware of, but that doesn't means someone else have not step on such problem. Or someone need something that you never think of. Or someone found something annoying and decided improve it.

So no one else should not fix anything, BECAUSE YOU don't see it?
no one should not add anything, BECAUSE YOU don't need it?
no one should not improve anything, BECAUSE YOU like it as is?
Is that what you saying??
Would you like to delete the topic, for your convenience, after some said is not needed?

And yes, in general is not good to discuss maters that doesn't concern you, otherwise is mental....


Despite description, I explained more about some modifications. Maybe one of the least needed add-on for majority people, is the button Avoid Tunnels. But you will find it very valuable, a life saving feature to quickly press the button, every day, otherwise you gonna drive 1 hour under the ground in labyrinth of interconnected tunnels, where some tunnels are 16km long. Where all tunnels are connected forming a complex maze under the ground, with no GPS under the ground means 100% you get lost if you don't know well the underground network. You can drive 1 hour under the ground, without to see the sky, until you find a way out. Where the whole city traffic is under the ground, under the whole city. And the problem is not just in me, but also other local people never learn the underground network, and if they have to drive in part of city which is not very known, if they switch to drive under the ground then they are 100% doom under the ground, no GPS signal. That is the problem with iGO here and every GPS, it always try to rotate under the ground because is faster. So I have to press that quick button to avoid that on all cost and drive always over the ground. Very often iGO cannot determine whether I am driving over the ground or under the ground, and give me nonsense routes. It thinks I am driving under the ground, when I am above the ground. There are 2 layers of transport network, above the ground where are streets and highways, and layer under the ground where is labyrinth of connected tunnels. So if iGO thinks I am under the ground, it gives me nonsense directions to drive through the buildings and everything, so after I press that button it jumps over the ground and start routing me on the streets correctly.
Such problem don't exist in EU, I never need such feature. Don't exist in every other continent! Don't exist in North Hemisphere! It exist here in Sydney and as far as I know no where else such underground infrastructure. So there is no other solution for this. That button is life saving feature!


But because all you say Pongo skin is all good, no problems no need of anything like my mods,
then would you like me to remove the button, so I and other people can get lost in the tunnels, or we should bury all tunnels under the city? Because some random mental say its no need...
Please advice which one you prefer, mate? Don't know what to do now I am bit confused o_0

Just found another way around how to fix licence problem for Online Live Traffic. Thanks to some people here who gave a hint. So instead coping service_register_v1.sav you can do this:
delete in IGO_World/license/PEARL****.lyc and IGO_World/save/profiles/01/service_register_v1.sav
restart iGO and it will work.
Just make sure you dont have PEARL****.lyc file. It may download again if you restart your settings, so remember to delete it again


p.s. I also used Pongo skin for a while without need to change anything. Although I found bugs, annoying visual things, I reckon I'll get used to it. But then I found need to add some functionalities that I need so much, like Google button that opens in WebView inside iGO app instead opening in separate browser. That saves RAM and makes sure iGO is not going in background, so it wont be killed or other issues. Added 2 keyboards that have PC keys layout. Added new buttons like Avoid Tunnels, Trips etc.
Fixed some annoying bugs that existed in original Pongo skin. Made visual improvements, put setting menus in meaningful order, increased some information into the cockpit for easy reading while you drive, button icons bigger, classic icons, black buttons and menus to be quickly readable while you drive, etc.

Now for me is perfect, although most of the people may not need all my add-ons, fixes or improvements, but even if someone google it, he will find my description on the 1st page, and he can only copy the needed .zip file from all my 19 .zip files. Or maybe someone can decide to use it as a whole, so that's why I put everything required with simple steps guide.
