Btw... How in the world are you getting iG to pause RR and send the EXIT / LOAD commands??

Also I noticed in the video that you have a speed label and compass on the music page... Did you use a com splitter and GPSSPD/GPSHDG labels or are you getting the info directly from iG's mem?

Any info on the skinning? I have never attempted to mod my iG beyond some simple reshacks because of the serious learning curve. Can you maybe give me a few tips?

Yeah, I use a com port splitter to get the GPS info to appear on RR. In fact that's needed for the auto-zoom to work.

As for skinning, you can skin all of the IG menus like justintime did with reshacker. It's just very tedious. I'm glad that justintime's design kinda matches my theme.

As for iGMon, you can totally skin the OSK and the buttons.

I don't know if you'd be able to make all features available for other FEs, but for instance one of the major features, the pausing of music during directions, could be accomplished by sending a "Ctrl-Alt-P" (default play/pause command in Centrafuse)..

I will definitely look into that later.

RR is convenient because it has a command line utility that you can use to send a command directly. There's no need for key shortcuts.

Yes and actually it's even easier than that. All you need is have your RR button do a SENDMSG command to iGMon kinda like this.

"SendMSG;iGMonitoring;ZoomIn"

There'll be tons of custom commands available.

Wow great work just the way I would like ig to work can't wait to try your app

Where can I get a serial port splitter?
