Um...nobody in the torrent world wants to deter files from being shared. RIAA, MPAA and similar organizations work at shutting down servers to prevent their copyrighted material from being shared. But nobody deliberately slows a torrent.

You should pay attention to copyrights and license terms, and also be aware that your IP address is publicly associated with a torrent that you're capturing or seeding.

That file would be slow because it's big and because there aren't that many people sharing it.

When you first start to capture a torrent, it comes down slowly. They tend to pick up speed, especially if you open ports so you're contributing. When things drop off so there are no seeders, you don't get anything.

can't wait to see if this works....

 

Instead of using the torrents the disc and firmware is also available on Newgroups. I am downloading right now at 992kb/s.

 

This is actually plain wrong, for instance if i'm looking for a park or somethinng i switch to the region of the country, type the name of the park under recreation and it gives me a list of names matches and distances, if i know the name of the place the OEM nav can get me there. There are actually some pretty cool tools in there to navigate by multiple waypoints, if you want to get somewhere via other points. I have many times found myself not knowing where somewhere is, for instance a gas station when im well below the E, nav has never failed me. Automotive services>gas stations> nearest...Done. Yeah it was expensive but it does its job and more. plus it has a nice voice.

 

I still disagree. The interface is clunky and it hampers your ability to find things.

When you've used GOOD navigational interfaces, you'll know what I am talking about.

Just to give you an example of what I mean, I'll compare the Rx-8 navi to the navi in my friend's 2005 BMW M3. His car has a joystick looking thing to move around. It's not like the RX-8's navigational buttons though - you can use it to scroll left and right in the menu interfaces, and push in to "click". So in the BMW, we could only zoom in and out of the vehicle's CURRENT location. While this doesn't sound like a problem at first... we had no way to find a nearby mall because of it. You can't pan in any direction! The mall was within 3 miles of our location. We didn't know in which direction. At the close zoom, the navigation would display names of restraunts, gas stations, stores. If we zoomed out more than a few clicks, it would be too far away to see those items being identified. Because of this, there was no way for us to find the mall. We would have to be at close zoom, then drive around randomly till the mall showed up on the screen. At least with the Rx-8 we can scroll around the map at any zoom level we want.

I guess my point is, like you, my friend had no idea how bad his navigational system was... the Rx-8's isn't good, but it isn't so bad that it's useless.

 

True, but for most people, newsgroups might be to difficult.

When you get it, put on a ftp, and give to people you trust on this forum. There is a cool little app that turns any PC into a ftp. Then all can share it.

 

I agree completely. The factory Navi in the RX-8 is horrible! I have a $350 Garmin unit in my Civic that is vastly superior. The RX-8 Navi can't take me to a specific address. It only takes me to the neighborhood and then I have to manually scroll around on the screen to find the street I'm looking for and then look at the the numbers on the house/building. My Garmin takes me right to the doorstep. Also, if I'm lost in a neighborhood and want to find my way out, the Navi is of little use because it won't start navigation from the road I'm on, it finds the nearest major road and starts from there. My Garmin starts from anywhere. The Garmin also has tons of waypoints while the RX-8 navi is a joke. There's something wrong when I have to take my Garmin as a back-up on long trips because I can't trust my factory unit.

 

the one thing i think it needs is something i've played with on the 07 BMW 335s nav and thats the active traffic monitoring system, it actually reroutes ya and uses voice activated instructions both of those would make the rx8 perfect. (the bmw seems to have gotten better with idrive as well...i personally find the idrive very useful)

 

The torrent is for the European map pack. It does work, but us in North America are out of luck on this one.

 

You downloaded it?!

 

How can I find out what version my Navigator system have?
And how old/new my maps are?

 

yes go to your system info screen on your navi the new one is coming out any day now this is the link

F that, I'm just gonna install a carputer.

 

That's funny...I keep wishing for a super hot female voice to say "stability control disengaged" when I hit the DSC button. Then again, that might be a bad thing, as I would turn it off all the time...

 

There is still no update for the 06' and up nav. even though I know they have one. The new nav in the 09' is a touch screen like in the CX-7/9, but they seem to be completely ignoring the 06' to 08' denso units. NAMO keeps saying their coming but they've been saying that for years. I think I want my money back for the nav!......

 

Just shell out the $200 bucks jesus.. lol

 

Maybe I should spell slower: There ____________ is __________ still __________ no _____________ update ______________ available ________________ for ______________ the ___________ 06' ______________ and ______________ up _______________ NAV _________________ units!...... Navetec does not support the 06' and up Denso units.
