Dhaark

Here is an update


It is still not 100% but it will give you something to play with

not sure if its just me, but it is still coming up as 1024. is there anything i am soposed to do to get it to be 800?

Edit the general ini file and alter it so that the showwidth and showheight are the size you want it to display. Also make sure the xposition and yposition are 0

Ok, so i played around with that file, and looked at others, got it resized, and it is awesome. Chuck, you are my hero! one more question though, how do you tell the skin what your gps info is, so it can display the embedded gps info. roadrunner knows what the com port is, but the skin doesnt seem to.

Thanks guys

You need a second GPS receiver or a com port emulator one for RR and one for map

If you are using IG you can hit the music, fm, xm, button a second time and the map will show up in that skin. Once it is in that mode you can switch between then and GPS and never miss the map. Also if you are in that mode (say xm) and you go to GPS just hit the GPS button a second time and you go back to XM.


When you are not in that mode and you hit the GPS a second time it will go full screen and put IC info above the skin with RR in front that way you always see next turn. And if you need to see full screen just hit the bottom bar.

main menu update


you can click on clock to exit

ok, so do you suggest a good serial emulator? i have a BU-353 usb gps, that is reporting as com5. as for the rest of what you said, i really have no idea what you are talking about.. but you are still my hero! one more thing, you have the multicolor satalite signal level meters, how did you tell it you want thoes?

I use DeLorme com port emulator and it splits up the com port but I think there is a compass and splitter or some thing like that, try a search
