Got it, that makes sense. I was under the impression that igmon could not be started before iGuidance...glad to hear it's that easy.

There's a good readme and a client example in the Zip. Source code available upon request. Let me know if you need anything else added/changed.

iGMon 2.0.1 released in first post

- Changes in 2.0.1:
Fixed SendMsg bug reported by EL CAMINO
Added ToggleCustomPOIs command/button for wysocki
Fixed a small bug in AutoZoom

wysocki, open skin\Default\OnScreenButtons.ini and uncomment line 16 (take out the first ";"). Should look like this.

Code:

POIs = -81, -280, 80, 50, 160, 0, "ToggleCustomPOIs", "pois.bmp", "pois_on.bmp"

Any help?

One of the features of IGMON is:

Automatic switching Road Runner to the GPS screen (from any screen) when the Guidance screen comes on (ie. when you're about to make a turn) and switching back when done.

Can anybody tell me how can I change the screen that is launched when automatic switching happens? I have modified the external_GPS.skin that launch mm_on.jpg and mm_off.jpg to the GPS screen of Llody simplistique skin but I have got and error.

Any help. Thanks

With the next turn label or variable I am having trouble getting it to update. It doesnt seem to update unless you are on the IG screen when your next turn come up. Currently I am using the variable for next turn on the main screen and the nav screen.
Any thoughts to what I am doing wrong.

**b8bboi** · 06-06-2006, 11:58 AM

So it works on the nav screen but not on the main screen?

**WarningSLO** · 06-06-2006, 12:09 PM

The new version is crashing on me whenever I use a dialog box or the osk. I am using iGLaunch, iGuidance 2.1.3 NA, have used my original iGMon.ini with the updated parameters, and my "originalheight" and "showheight" match what I have in RR. Any ideas?

Hey b8bbi there is something that looks like a lose character when taping on the OSK (see pic) it goes on and on when taping (always before the cursor)

Thanatos.

-Exactly, it I dont have it auto switch to the nav screen it doesnt update the label. Also the next turn splash box doesnt display either un less it is set to auto switch to nav screen. Maybe that is just a limitation.
-I actually got it working yesterday for about an hour, but after restarting computer, it stopped working all together. Coming out of hibernate.
-Also I am having problems with the big button screen for address input. It is pretty buggy yet. Is there a way to disable that?

Yeah, I get that thing, too. It doesn't bother me much so I didn't bother fixing. Weird because it doesn't show on my desktop, though.
