thanks again for ur work!!

There'll be some very slight changes in the INI. Please continue to work on it.

As for the IG dialogs, you can add a skin for them later if you want to but it's not required. You'll get the idea when it comes out.

Adding it to the registry under HKLM->Software->Microsotf->Windows->Current Version->Run? or is there some other clever way to launch this. Is there a cool way to launch this app first and then launch the GPS app from within road runner? thanks!

I didn't want to have igmon start with the computer running when it didn't have to be, and I was getting an array size error when it launched from HKLM, so I wrote a AutoIt script that skinbedder runs when it launches. The script checks if igmon is running and launches it if it's not, and then launches iguidance without the nag window. Skinbedder then grabs the windows and embeds it. It's working very well for me.

The short code:

if ProcessExists("igmon.exe") then
else
Run("C:\Program Files\iGMon\igmon.exe", "C:\Program Files\igmon")
endIf
Run("C:\Program Files\iNav\iGuidance\iGuidance.exe nowarning", "C:\Program Files\iNav\iGuidance")

Also notice the yellow Next Turn Street Name being displayed as a RR label.

Wow, I'm really impressed. Thats just how I wanted my nav to look. What RR skin is that? Have you used any other mods to IG?

Is anyone getting an AutoIt error? IGMon is not running for me now.

you can change it to that icon or whatever icon you want if you download reshacker and edit the bitmaps in iguidance. Search .. there are many threads on this.

use justintimes big button mod to update the iguidance executable. he has a little program that will update all of them from 2.1 - 2.1.2. If you have 2.1.3 you will have to resource hack them yourself. Ive done it with my 2.1.3. Infact, they are all the same resources (bitmaps, dialogs, etc) its just time cosuming to do it all manually.
