iGMon - Solution for integration between iGuidance and Road Runner (I hope)

This is awesome! Great idea and great app......looking forward to the refinements and improvements to come.

As far as skinning..... to change the layout of the number pad on the OSK is just a matter of changing the .bmp image and then the X,Y coordinates in the .ini file, right?

Hmmm.... you used OCR to get the street name. Why not do the same for the distance till next turn then

hey b8bboi. great app dude, very impressed!

how are you doing th OCR? I'm interested in the method from a performance point of view.

can we just run igmon at startup and have it wait for iguidance to be loaded that way?

And btw there's no avoid road command?

leelo, the distance to next turn always changes. If user switches to another screen and RR hides IG, I won't be able to monitor it. Plus doing OCR all the time would put a hit on the CPU. I might be considering this as an option for users with fast PC sometime later, though.

Yes you can run iGMon at start up. It'll wait for iGuidance. That's the beauty of it. It's totally separate from iGuidance.

I'll be adding more commands in later releases. Right now, all the commands available are listed in iGMon_Commands.txt.

Yes, it's very easy to do. In fact, if you're a RR skinner, it should take you no time to figure out as the skin format is very similar to RR's.

Just make sure that you define ALL the required elements as my app is not as fault-tolerant as RR.
