Try using the latest "preview" release in my sig line. It looks like you are using the older 2.1 release.

Btw everyone else: After taking a week break from coding, I am back on the project again. Official beta should be out soon.

For some reason, my map always comes up with Heading instead of North up. Does IGM change this on startup?

Yea, wups... ok heres what to do (ill make this configurable in future releases I hope)

start-run-regedit-ok
hkey_current_user\software\inav\iguidance
set value options to 12340 (decimal)
start iguidance without igmod
mess with whatever settings you like that you want iguidance to start with on startup
close iguidance
refresh regeditor
get the new value for options (decimal)
put that value in the runner.ini on the appropriate line

-or-
start-run-regedit-ok
hkey_current_user\software\inav\iguidance
set value options to 12340 (decimal)
remove the line that edits the registry from the runner.ini (not sure if latest preview release will support this or not...)

I plan on adding the ability to have igmod play some sounds according to what it realizes is going on. So far I have the following sounds thought up:

- Entering guidance mode
- Going too fast (speed alert)
- Resuming safe speed (speed alert)

- Turn in less than 20 seconds (if I figure out how to anticipate this)

These sounds (dings or whatever you choose) could optionally play when the rest of iguidance is muted (because its a pain to have the speaker blare out directions all the time when you have company in the car).

Any suggestions for other audiable queues that iguidance is thinking something?

(Oh and for who requested it I'll try real hard to add in the ability to have igmod know when a turn is occouring when not visible so it can take focus or run a script like mapmonkey does)
