Thread: Auto switch to Guidance screen for iG?

Yes, I would VERY much like to see this feature added! iGmon has this, but that was the only feature I used for iGmon, as it does not support much of anything else in iG3.0 unfortunately.

With iGmon, the screen would stay on iGuidance, until the turn was completed. I beleive ut used a pixel color comparison for the turn indicator in the top left to acheive this. I don't think this is possible in RR'd code, but I am not positive.

10 Seconds would seem to be a fair amount of time to display the screen, glance to see the turn ect. Could this not be easily made configurable with an INI setting?

One request is that you please make the skin that it will go to, configurable in the ini, & defaulting to the external_GPS screen if nothing else is defined. I request this, as when I was working with iGmon, I had a screen that was a FULL screen GPS skin, with a bar across the top that simply said "Approaching Turn" across the entire top of the screen. Pressing this bar would take me back to the previous screen if I NEEDED to get out of the screen for something at that very moment.

The reason for this is simple, when a turn is approaching, I don't need the standard GPS screen, with routing, zooming (Inactive anyway when approaching a turn) ect.


I know it seems like more and more stuff to put in the RR.ini, but thats the name of the game with CapRC's TOTAL customization. If the values are not in the ini, it can always just be set to use default values.

Basically, If I do it, I will looking for the Guidance window then switch to GPS mode.
I ask this because while I was messing around with the code, I was able to find Guidance screen while embedded natively.
I'll try to make congif thru ini as possible.
Anyway, don't put your hope too high, cuz I still don't know how I am going to do this yet.

Another vote for me. It was definitely something about IGMon that I really liked.

If you're gonna make this work Matrix, please be sure to put an X button somewhere in the corner so that the user could go back to the previous menu manually if he want to.

Djx, doing this will just bring the skin that you normally use for iGuidance. So you can just use your native close/exit button on that skin.

Thats why I suggested being able to define what skin you wnat it to load in. I simply want the iG screen to be full screen, with just a top border that say's something like "Upcomming turn", so it looks like it was "on purpose" that it switched, and not some sort of glitch I would then make that entire top button an "exit" button.


Also Matrix, just to complicate things more, before they even get off of the ground There would probably be a need to be able to turn this off with a button inside road runner. This would be handy if you were navigating sity streets, and wanted to change the radio station ect and not have the screen keep being taken over every few seconds when a turn is coming up.

PLEEEEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IGMON did a killer job with the volume adjustment, and any other autoswitch params would be awesome.... Can u say PAYPAL PAL

It's u Matrix - U R DA MAN!!!

yeah this is sweet if you can make it work right. IGMON did do this for me but with the new RR it stop switching screen. I am trying to figure out how to get it back. I even added a clip region back into my personal skin with ignative=false and its still not working.
