Gotcha.

BTW, you can disable all those RR-specific features through the INI if you like. You can always use the OSK, I guess.

Does/can your app read the speed directly from NMEA strings? If so, would it be possible to use a port-splitter such as Xport3 to provide your app with the NMEA sentences, and thus enable auto-zoom outside of RR?

b8bboi,

will this only work with your skin?

Purdoom, I do a customized OCR on the street name area. The buttons automatically snap onto the edges of IG so it'll work with any solution. The OSK is 800x480 but it can be scaled to 800x600 by change some INI option just like Road Runner.

Yes it can theoretically do that. I just need to find a DLL that can read from COM ports. MSCOMM32.ocx is kinda crappy. Plus you'll need a runtime license for that.

Wow! Ill sit back and watch you do your thing.

Subscribed and standing by for first download.
This may make me switch back to iGuidance.

Anxiously awaiting release (vigorously rubbing hands together and evil laugh)

Cheers

It will work with any skin.

I've got 2.1.3NA as well, and will be very willing to test this out for you. That is, of course, if I can figure out how to get RR and everything running right, as I haven't yet loaded a frontend on my carPC. I just finally got to the point where my hardware is mostly set up enough to begin really customizing the software - up until this point I've just been using Winamp and iGuidance.
