DL'ding :D

How come mine looks differnent... :confused:

Day skin and 2D

screenshot above is 3D and Night Skin

Hi CdR

Great looking skin! Just a couple of things though. Sorry if I'm being dim.

Is it possible to pan round the map without the menu popping up?
Can the address bar be slimmed down so it does not partialy obscure the minus and height buttons?

Cheers

Hi, depending which skin you use.. depends if it uses the 'touchmenu' or not. To 'pan' round as you say, just swap to the other skin.. tap for the menu, then next , settings , skin then swap to the default skin. :-)

As for the menu buttons being cut of.. yep thats my afault. I will update the file today which will fix this .

Download 'this' and unzip it and overwrite the all folder which is at
C:\DestinatorApps\Destinator\Common\Interface\Visu al

that will fix the zoom bar problem.


Cheers

Can it be embedded into FrodoPlayer ? How ? There's a launcher for MapMonkey. I think something similiar would be needed for FreeDrive also.

I just made you a wrapper.

This is how it works.
Take these files, put them in your freedrive directory.
Verify in FDWrapper.ini that the path to FreeDrive.exe is correct.

In the FrodoPlayer directory, open FrodoPlayer.ini.
At the bottom under [GPSDEFAULTPATHS],
change the DEST3 line to equal:

DEST3=C:\Program Files\FreeDrive\FDWrapper.exe
(or wherever it is)

Then in FrodoPlayer settings 2, choose the Ninja Monkey option.
Make sure "Use External GPS Application" is NOT checked.

You're good to go.

Thanks alot Frodo :nw:. That's what I call support. You :rock:.

Just a quick question. It had been mentioned earlier that there might be a birds eye view option in this version. Any idea how long this may be?
