Thread: New Age Garmin - FINAL RELEASE 01OCT09

Truthfully, I dont think XM is worth it. I had it and I got to tell you HD radio blow it away. So the answer to that question would be nope, sorry, no change, I DONT THINK SO

Have installed your skin but get a few errors, buttons come up yellow and background isnt black, two script icons come up down by clock on task bar, and car netix box comes up, close the program and i get two error boxes up with: Autolt error line-1: Error: the requested action with this object has failed.

(1) Yeah, you can't close the carnetix interface it will cause an autoit error with the PSU monitor. ( for now just press on the RR screen and the PSU monitor will go to the background. It should minimize auotmatically though) It will not cause any problems with RR or the rest of the skin though. I will probably be adding an option for the PSU monitor before the next release.
(2) The script icons are the programs that monitor the PSU software and the speed limit monitor.
(3) You need to set a background image through the background selection screen after first setting your default background directory in RRCONFIG

-OK found a bug with the carnetix command I using to open the carnetix screen.
Problem solved.
-Also had some problems with the speed zone plugin not reporting your current speed zone. FIX
-Added 10 more speed zones and also detects speed zones according to the direction you are driving.
Uploading the next now and hopefully bug free release

I just dropped the whole unzipped file directory into skins as nav2

You have to setup a backgrounds directory. Generally people are using the following path:
C:\Program Files\Road Runner\Backgrounds
then set it that way in your RRCONFIG -> skins -> background picture path
Then make sure you have some JPG's in that directory and voila you should be able to select your background from with in newage.
If you do not have a background path setup with images in that folder the background changer will screw up and RR will close.

Is there a way someone else can help out with that? I live in a rural area and don't have HD radio. XM or Sirius is the only good option for radio in my area. Also, I drive lengthy trips at frequent intervals that have no HD radio.

Is it just a matter of generating a new skin with XM content?

Yup all you would have to do is creat an XM.skin file using the skin editor. Should not be too hard actually. Then go in to the exectble.ini in the new age folder and edit the RADIOINDI command so that it loads XM instead of RADIO.
Other than that should be pretty simple.

Speed Zone Pluggin updated with better direction detection - download speedlimit.zip from the first post
then unzip in to the scripts folder inside the NAV2 folder in your Road Runner/SKINS directory
Overwrite the old one
