VladaS skin updated ...

The VladaS skin presented in an old topic was updated by his author ... Thanks to him, to do this work for having a nice soft skin ...

VladaS v16

New Ultra skin customized ...

I found a very nice skin "iGO 8 Ultra Skin" on many forum ... This skin provides extra functions to iGO 8 which I thought were useful for route planning and ease of use ...

I updated this skin by including the following features that I found very useful (only for portrait mode) :
* dayheightcolormap and nightheightcolormap that I have created and presented on this blog ;-)
* always visible speedlimit
* current speed
* new road calculation method "panorama" (see below for more explainations)



I hope that you appreciate this new skin, and many thanks to the author of the orginal "Ultra Skin" !

Enjoy artwork-igo8 Ultra 1 !!!

and if you want the original iGO8 Ultra Skin and the features documentation ...

Panorama mode : I don't know how is really calculated the road with "panorama" ... but in a region with mountain, the proposed road with this option is a good optimisation of the road with highways and mountain roads ... and not fully highway like proposed by other options with a very longer distance ...
