Thread: IGuidance 3.0 and Embedding RR

Roadrunner supports imbedding Iguidance internally wihtout any other programs. As for your problem with switching songs and keeping your Iguidance open, you can place a next and previous button like in the picture.




or you can add an exit/close button that does not close the gps program but returns you to your desired screen to switch between songs.

What skin are you using anyway?

From what I can tell all of these were made for a previous version of iGuidance and that they don’t work well with 3.0 (or seem to be needed)…Is that assumption correct?

So far I seem to be fairly happy with the stock functionality of iGuidance 3.0 and I may not need much more than it provides. What I do want though is a way to embed it into RR such that I can switch back and forth between it and my tunes. If I embed it into RR using External (and no skinbedder or anything else) then I find that iGuidance closes when I try and go back to my audio player. Is there a way to solve that? I am fine with editing my current skin to do what I need.

Since I am new to the GPS problems I don’t know how hard it is to solve what I am asking for. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

If you care to make any other observations about problems that I will need to solve then I am listening.

I thought iGUidance closed at first also , but it was only a visual bug , if you click anywhere and drag ( where the map is suposed to be ) the iguidance will appear.

When I say switching I mean I would like to be able to switch to the audio_player screen while iGuidance runs in the background. I assume if I do this then iGuidance would still warn me of approaching turns and such and that is what I want. Then I could pop over to the GPS screen to view the map.

So how would I make a button that would pop me over to the audio_Player screen w/o closing iGuidance.

Oh I see what you mean... Im not sure then.

Another thing you can do is make a button that links to a command on iguidance ( like JohnWPB does in his DigitalFX skin ; check his external_gps.skin file )
