I want to ask if anyone has tried to modify the older versions to work in the new version of the Pongo skin.

Think, if you need this ux you will stuck at these older versions. The skinners changed their mind for this feature and added some other stuff you maybe know from ex TomTom: tilde the map from 3d to 2d for next maneuver and back to 3d again. Like this feafure

???? File user.upoi is in all Nextgen in Folder users\00\ and can be transferred from one App to another. IMO Visibility is the same everywhere in the Default, only Skin Frontzosd and/or Pongo differ somewhat in the zoom Environment

AFAIK; the option >Show all< (Search ->up arrow (more)) and then visible within 75 km at the destination or at the location or .... should be enough ??

@rondoan im aware where its located user upoi and what setting must do but its not enough I achive something by altering poi visibilities.txt both in branding.zip and data.zip (see my post for jorgeultra page 278 #2780) now only must deal with zoom level bcs minimize map more cant see favs. By the way if use for Luna EUROleum_LUNA+.zip and dont make alteration you wont be able to see on map favs when minimize map to see all europe
As you see in Luna map is minimized at level of all europe and can see all favs but in gift is minimized at level of couple countryes and see favs partially ,must move the map in the desired area to appear favs in that area So i must do some nodification in zoomlevel,2d i think, but i dont know where I play with zoomlevel2d in sys/interface but no luck so far

In the default skin configuration from a certain distance, it is not possible to see the "forest" of favorites.
In the Pongo data.zip file at project_config > igo_nextgen.ini in the [interface] and [map] sections you can try to change some zoom parameters.
Perhaps it will solve your problem.

@jorgeultra thx for suggestion i will try later
I think im the only one who want to see on map forest of favs

@jorgeultra ,had something to do with distance as well?

Later edit :its working ,not in the way of Luna but for me its enough

Spoiler: screen

Should do the job

**jorgeultra** · 19th July 2020, 03:17 PM

Please tell all of us on the forum your changes.
Maybe someone else is interested in that.

@jorgeultra you are right
For forest of favs on the map with pongo skin:
Must edit branding.zip/ui_nextgen/defaults/poi_visibilities.txt add this line
|root|
@Favourites||500000|500000
@My POI|Community.Embassy|0|0
In data.zip/ui_nextgen/defaults/poi_visibilities.txt add lines
|root|
@Favourites||500000|500000
@My POI|Community.Embassy|0|0

After you do this changes delete poi_visibilities.txt from save/profiles/01

Must set again parking shopping gas station etc All that you want to see on the map according with you taste
PS maybe someone with more skills than me will do this in the right way
PS PS this changes can be used and for luna if you use some branding.zip or data.zip its alterated and you cant see forest of favs on map

Cristian I think you are a truck driver as me and the favourits are maybe your clients, restaurants, shops etc. The point is that with Nextgen we can do MUCH less that we are used to do with Primo and personally I kept primo as navigator for my truck, consider that I have around 1200 clients saved all around Europe, hundred of restaurants, PINs (as in Igo8) etc etc every category with its own icon, visible on the map, easy to find so in conclusion my personal advice is to keep NextGen for your smarphone and use Primo for the truck installed on a tablet (I personally use ONLY Samsung Note 8 with Android 4.2). P.S to save my clients and the PINs I still use Igo8 mounted on an HTC HD2 and from time to time I transfer them to my PC just in case ....
