Thread: GaroNav 1.0 beta 1 Released

Got several questions on how to integrate it to RR, though.

1. Can I use RR to pull in info like ETA, ETR like I could with Map Monkey? Also, can I use RR buttons to send commands to GaroNav?

2. If I set the default size to 800x600, when trying to embedded GaroNav into a smaller window RR, it freaks out at first and tries to take focus of the whole screen. (See screen shot). If I click back to Main Menu, then click back to GaroNav, it'll be fine. However, some buttons will be hidden due to the difference in screen size between the default size (in Main.skin) and RR's embedded window size. Is there an easy way to fix this issue?

(Notice how the blue Menu button is cut off. Also the text that says "Current Position" is also cut off. Both are set to be at x=0).

3. Another problem is that when you execute a "CLOSE" command in RR to close GaroNav, it doesn't close gracefully. I think an instance still remains in Task Manager. Right now I have to close GaroNav using the Menu button first.

Use this RR config for embed Garonav.. see the screenshot
Use you directory for Garonav folder...

Edit:done my new skin for GN.... I tested it!

New edit:
for see the labels embed to RR skin, use the !GN command... in EXTERNAL_GPS.skin of RR skin if you use.
type:

/, L, x, y, w, h, color R;RGB, G, B, font size;FONT, font name, Code;LABELCODES, Tooltip;LABELALIGNMENT
L01,177,446,466,025,000,255,255,27,"LCD Display Grid","!GNADDRESS>>TRACKNAME>>=Volume Audio ||VOLUME","SCROLL-LEFT"

Thanks. I do know how to embed it. It's just that when GaroNav first opens, it kind of freaks out and posts images outside of the embedded window like the pic attachment shows. After that it's fine.

Here's a screenshot of the embedded GaroNav after I go back to Main Menu and then back to GaroNav.

This is one problem of settings of the label in GN skin...

Anchor the label with Top,Bottom etc....
You have the readme for make one skin ....I don't memory if Garo has put it in the upload of the packet...
I attach it to you, read in that as to do.

Of course, read the txt files attached to the GN.

Thanks. I missed the RR integration part at the bottom.

try to set always on top = false in the options screen.
Do you use the standard 800x600 skin?

Yes, I do have <add key="AlwaysOnTop" value="False" />
I use 800x600 skins. The problem is the window I'm embedding GR in is only 649x420. When GR starts at first, it will try to expand itself out of the embedded window but after that it'll be fine. The first screenshot I posted in post #120 is when GR starts. The second screenshot in post #123 is when I return to the skin the second time. I think a solution for this is for GR to "remember" the last screen size and location like Map Monkey. Map Monkey has an option for this.

On a second thought, don't worry too much about this. I found out that if I start GaroNav before RoadRunner, it should embed fine in any situation.

Garo, may I make a few suggestions?

1. Full-text searching for POI/Favorites without having to select category first.

2. Commands to
- toggle AutoZoom
- toggle North Up/Direction Up
- Zoom In, Zoom Out
- Recently navigated to addresses on Navigate To screen

3. I found some commands like !GNETR don't work in RoadRunner. The only one I found that works is !GNADDRESS. Could you look into that?

4. Also not sure if this already works yet but semi-transparent buttons (like the new version of FreeDrive) would be very cool.

Thanks.
