How to Embed any GPS program into Road Runner

**rcubed3r** · 02-03-2009, 09:28 PM

I have been trying OnCourse Navigator 8 for a couple of weeks on my HTC Touch Pro.
I REALLY like it so far.

Here is a review of the software:

It is pocketPC software, but is there ANY chance of being able to embed this?

OnCourseNavigator 8 = iGo8 -- there's a PC version you can use with RR:

You need to search for igo8 mysize -- http://code.google.com/p/igo-mysize/ you'll find the tool to allow you to resize the software so it embeds in the space you want.

Well, thank you!
I am trying to figure it out now.

Any help to make Navitel navigation (Win CE emulation) and RR front end work together ?

I have tried this in a Run.bat :
"D:\!!_Soft_!!\PC_Car\GPS Soft\Navitel\11\Navitel\Emulator\DeviceEmulator.ex e" C:\Navitel\WinCE50core_FULL2.bin /tooltips OFF /memsize 256 /nosecurityprompt /video 640x350x16 /sharedfolder "C:\Navitel\"

Using this button code:
"LOAD;gisrx.SKIN;device emulator;C:\navitel\run.bat;device emulator"

1-If you run the run.bat command (outside RR) -- does it work ?
2-If it works, post a screen shot of the window... you may just be using the wrong window title to embed it.
3-When you try it INSIDE RR, do you see the emulator loading ?

1. Yes, the program runs normally through the run.bat
2. Name Window: device emulator
3. yas

Any chance you could follow THIS thread to get the properties of the "Device Emulator" window so we can try to see what's wrong ?

So I'm trying to get iGO8 working.. I've finally got it embedded and working, however now it's not receiving any satellite signal. I think this is because RR is intercepting it from the com port. However I don't know how to fix this. I tried enabling GPSServ but it doesn't seem to be working. Does anyone have ideas on what I should do next?
