Navi Hack BMP's (Images)
Sticky?
OK guys, this thread is because others have asked for it. Lets post pictures that we have used in hacking our Navi's
Edit mod vp911:
Thank you to jmbnova and datmrman!
Since this thread is going to turn into the thread with images for the navi hack please follow these basic ground rules:
1. Post ONLY the images that can be used for the navi hack here.
2. Do not post any questions or comments in this thread. Please use PMs if necessary.
3. Requests will be permitted. Any other posts will be deleted.
4. Post any questions about the hack in the thread located here.

I performed some maintenance on this thread by deleting comments and posts of expired images. Some members will notice that their post count decreased. Sorry! If you find your uploaded image missing, please re-upload them since your image server has deleted them. Imageshack.us seems to keep images longer than photobucket and others.
Instructions on how to post pictures are here.
To use the images found in this thread, you must perform the navi hack outlined in this thread:
Hack Your Navi Summarized! (Change pics and remove nag screen).
Please post any questions regarding the hack in the above thread. I will try to maintain this thread on a regular basis so please follow the rules.

These images are not mine. Just collected from the forums.
Click on the thumbnail to open full size PNG. You will then need to convert it to BMP to use in the navi hack.

Here's a few I've been playing around with...
Just started messin' around with photoshop and a few pics I had handy. Also working on removing/changing the text of the nag screen to something a bit more interesting. No luck as of yet...

My friend at work is a Photoshop GOD and I'm trying to get him to come with some really cool abstract designs. He's way better than I am artistically.

As promised...
Some new navi screens! Special thanks goes out to RJANACONDA for sending me the original images and vp911 for providing the webspace. I couldn't decide where to crop the images so there are a few versions of a single image. I went Photochop crazy. 
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Perhaps you could add a nice "Hello Christopher" as well. That would be awesome!
I can hex edit, but have no photoshop...
"stolen from the 20 navi page thread"....

Thanks Peterbanks... That was the trick!
For reference, if your modded splash screens are taking a long time to load (3-5 seconds), reduce the picture to 475x232 pixels (also ensure your in 8 bit color of course), and your picture will load within 1 second of the key being turned...

Boot process stock:
- turn on car and stock warning screen appears
- 15 seconds later, 'ok' appears to proceed to the main screen
Boot process now:
- turn on car and navi stays black for about 5 seconds
- then the new image appears for about 3 to 5 seconds
- navigation the goes black again for 5 to 10 seconds
- finally the ok button appears to move to the main screen
Does anyone know how to extend the timing on the image to eliminate the black screens?
Thanks!

# If using Photoshop, one way to meet the pictures specs is to convert the picture from RGB to Indexed (Image > Mode > Indexed Color). Once inside the indexed color dialog box, chose Local (Perceptual) from the Palette drop down menu. Then input 173 in the Colors field. This will alter your colors in your image because you are limiting the palette, so you might have to make some sacrifices or changes to the image. Then save as bitmap, 8 bit. Another way is to crop the image on the sides a bit.
# DO NOT use Bitmap compression (RLE)
# DO NOT use Bitmap compression (RLE)
After that, you should be set.
