NicolaiSolling Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Anyone have an idea when the download will be available on syncmyride for all of us outside the us and Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davom97 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Nav seemed to be faster. I haven't tried too many addresses, though, so I don't know if it'll be more effective. If there's a web browser there, I didn't see it. This would be the first I've heard about a web browser. Not sure where that came from. On the nav, I would love for one of you guys to tell me if typing in an address has been improved. Old system was so frustrating. And one more thing, if I've read this thread accurately, nobody has received this through the mail at home, only via the dealer, correct? Peace, DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Oh man...I am in Germany right now but hope this package is sitting in my mailbox when I return. Can't wait to give it a shot...would love to be able to have our phones connected again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 This would be the first I've heard about a web browser. Not sure where that came from. The web browser was advertised as late availability when MFT first debuted but never appeared. The hope was that it would be included with the update.

The hope was that it would be included with the update. I just read that the code for the web browser is in the new release but it is disabled at this time.

MrHappy Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Sweeet, can't wait for ours to show with (hopefully) the NAV card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candy Edge Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Sweeet, can't wait for ours to show with (hopefully) the NAV card. Just installed my update today (see my thread). All I can say is it will definitely change peoples minds about MFT. It works like it always should have now. Nice!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWS Alpine Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) Oh, also, if anyone in the Atlanta area is impatient and wants it now instead of waiting, let me know. I have it here and don't mind sharing. You'll have to wait for the nav card in the mail, though. Dingo can you take an ISO image of the flash drive and upload it to dropbox or something similar and PM me the link! That way can create my own usb drive Edited March 6, 2012 by NWS Alpine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Actually, I can't now. I wish y'all had thought of that earlier. I loaned it to a dealership around lunchtime today because nobody on here needed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWS Alpine Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Ok thanks though! If anyone has one currently please take a quick ISO image of their drive and upload it somewhere like skydrive/dropbox/sharefile/etc and PM people who are requesting it. Would be much appreciated. I don't use my nav system and would love to avoid a trip to the dealer while I wait for my USB drive to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revOevoM Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I heard that the hardware for MFT includes a CPU and a separate graphics CPU - like a graphics card in desktops / laptops - has always been there. However, the graphics processor was never utilized. The main processor was doing all the MFT work AND all the nav + other graphics work. But now, with this performance upgrade, they have enabled the graphics CPU. (Why on earth it wasn't like that from day 1, I'll never know.) That in and of itself should make the entire system tons speedier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either they didn't know how, they didn't have time or it wasn't in the specs. Given how screwed up everything else was it's not surprising.

NWS Alpine Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 They didn't properly plan or didn't have developers who were capable of programming openGL. I'm sure they had to scrap plans as they were even able to get required features to even work. If they hired good developers from the start the code would have been much cleaners and proper the first time. It's always a mess fixing bad code. Easier to start fresh sometimes if you know what your doing and have the proper time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Very true. I wonder why they used Microsoft for Sync but then BSquare for MFT. Cost? BSquare was created by former microsoft employees - they may have even been recommended by microsoft. I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time.

SilverBullet2011 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Good Day Fellow Edge Owners, I'm new to the forum as of today but just wanted to say Thanks to all members that have been posting status updates on the new release. I've been trolling the internet for posts, articles, and videos related to the upgrade and appreciate that others are just as anxious as I am to see the upgraded MFT in action. Everything that I have read on here and seen on YouTube has been positive, so it just makes waiting for my package to arrive in the mail that much more painful. And worse, I read a moderator post on SyncMyRide.Com that packages won't even be mailed until later this week so I just might inquire about getting the dealer upgrade this weekend because the suspense is killing me. I'll be sure to provide any updates to this thread should mine arrive or get installed sooner than everyone elses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEA Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I seem to remember something about the update being posted for download on syncmyride.com as well as the drives/cards being mailed to us. Does that ring a bell with anyone else? Either way, I never use my navigation, so if anyone can post an iso of the USB drive somewhere that would be fantastic.

ericcwhitaker Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Here's a great walkthrough video I found. Goes into a great amount of detail as the software is installed on an Edge. The upgrades to the system, particularly Navigation and system speed and smoothness, are very exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Mikey, you're not that far from several of us in the Forsythish Fultonish area. If you have time tomorrow, and don't mind driving up here, I can tell you how to have it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upgrades to the system, particularly Navigation and system speed and smoothness, are very exciting. Looks pretty snappy. That same guy (on youtube) installs a wallpaper on the new MFT system. Not real thrilled with the end result, but it's a small thing. Peace, DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
