if anyone find the map scale y value with iglaunch by all means.. share. Cant autozoom without it.

Sonic, the default value should work. I just tested it with iGLaunch and auto zoom works. Here're my values.
IGHeightOffset = 0
MapScaleLocationY = -31

If you want, turn on DebugMode = 1 within [AutoZoom]. You should see a gray box that covers the map scale every half second. That's the location where iGMon gets the value.

Agreed, this is GREAT! Thank you so much for your contribution to this community. I wish *I* had something to contribute.

I tested it all day delivering flowers. 15+ destinations. The new OSK made things so much better! Auto zoom worked erratically for me... maybe 1.1 will do better on tomorrow's run

I have a couple of questions of my own

1. Why does it take so long for igmon to exit ? I right click and choose exit and it actually exists like 10 secs later...

2. Would it be possible to use some antialiasing when zooming the speed area and the OSK areas ? The fonts look really ugly.

3. When you got enter a new destination and it prompts to "enter a house number" ... the "number" parts is not visibile anymore on your OSK skin...it gets cutoff

Also I've set mine up to lower the winamp volume and restore it after giving directions. So much better, in my opinion, than pausing and resume. It seemed a little too harsh to cutoff the music like that. So instead of PAUSE and RESUME in the ini file, I used "exec SETVOL;winamp;30 and SETVOL;winamp;100 respectively.

When you say run all the three apps at once you mean

1. Run IGMon
2. Run RR
3. Run IGuidance

Now what you mean is that you will have to alt-tab through the screens? My PC is in the car so I can't really run it much higher than 800x600 without loosing my eyes!

and I don't want to take the PC out yet.

Is this what you mean?

In iGMon.ini, try AutoZoomMode = 1 (agressive mode). It'll work better but your CPU will get more hits.

1. Why does it take so long for igmon to exit ? I right click and choose exit and it actually exists like 10 secs later...

Yeah. That's normal. iGMon waits for several processes to end before exiting gracefully.

2. Would it be possible to use some antialiasing when zooming the speed area and the OSK areas ? The fonts look really ugly.

Yes, but that'll put a burden on your CPU, too, as the zoomed area has to keep polling the area underneath it.

3. When you got enter a new destination and it prompts to "enter a house number" ... the "number" parts is not visibile anymore on your OSK skin...it gets cutoff

You mean the caption on the top left like "Enter street name" etc.? Open skins\Default\osk.ini and change the text size of HeaderText to something smaller. Weird, though because it displays perfect for me. I set the size so that the longest caption (Enter 2nd Street Name) would fit. And while you're at it you might want to change the font of TextInputBox from "Courier" to "Arial Narrow". It'll look much better. Courier sucks.

Also I've set mine up to lower the winamp volume and restore it after giving directions. So much better, in my opinion, than pausing and resume. It seemed a little too harsh to cutoff the music like that. So instead of PAUSE and RESUME in the ini file, I used "exec SETVOL;winamp;30 and SETVOL;winamp;100 respectively.

Awesome! That's why I designed it to be customizable. Different people have different preferences.

It'd be better if you can run the Wizard at a high resolution but alt-tabing wouldn't be too bad.
