In that case, if i want to magnify everything including the street your on, the ETA box the next turn distance, and the next turn street name.....and I cant put the boxes overtop of eachother, I think this will make the screen a little cluttered.

perhaps there a way to tell teh magnifier which window layer to magnify, and also which layer to display the magnification on top of..? or perhaps someone could write this magical app..

Yes, that would be cluttered. In my case I really just want the one item: the ETA box.

I think the reason why the developers of iGuidance are not responding to this user request is that the size of the ETA box is just fine on the PDA version. Laptop or carputer users are perhaps an insignificant portion of their overall customer base

Now why would you do such a terrible thing like that?

i've used c# a few times, but i'm not well versed in it......i figure learning to port it from C# to vb will allow me to learn more about c#. C# is pretty simple as it is....ill probably end up writing this whole app in it.

Again last night I spend some time testing a variety of magnifier software, and it looks like I’ve finally found one that is usable for my needs. I don't know though if it is usable in a touch screen environment.

You may run more then one instance of it simultaneously, but I'm afraid seeing more then one would be a clutter.

More info on page 6 of iGuidance Customization Ideas

when actually planning on embedding this into road runner (or any front end app) other consideration would have to come into play. While on different road runner we would have to make this window invisible, or imbed this within the same window as iguidance

I had intensions of doing something very similar to this when I get my carputer started.

There is a subculture on the internet that uses memory sniffing for games that I was rather active in.

You may want to check out the guides at http://forever-hacking.com to get ideas about different sniffers, and exe decompilers.

You also might find some useful information about process injection, and things of that nature at the MacroQuest project. (in their forums)

Those two sites deal specifically with game hacking, but some of the guides may prove useful to you.

@martin
does lens work when IG is not infocus ie on another page like surfing the web etc then if you alt tabed to it would it highlight that same area of pixels of the webbrowser or is it intellegent enough to only highlight from the IG proccess

Lens will magnify anything that is within the set area. When using other application, and Lens is bothering you, you may just minimize it. Restore Lens when you want to use iGuidance again.
