Other than the software is Navteq which is the same thing Iguidance uses.

1. Everytime I go an click on the icon for GPS it opens GPS MAP but it is not sized correctly in DFX SKIN. I kinda thought it would be FIXED inside of the GPS PAGE. (Kinda like how when you click on music or photos or the web nothing moves just stays in one place.) So if i click by mistake just below the map window, the map window disapears and i have to reload rr all over again. John, I watched your video and in the video you say if you save the screen even if you get out of it, It will still be the same as you set it. But it doesn't stay. Did I miss something?

2. And when I click on gas prices, weather, and gauges, nothing works. Example, Gas prices will only find the nearest gas station if i put in the zip code. (WHAT IF I AM SOMEWHERE I DON'T KNOW THE ZIP RIGHT? LOL) Gauges, the compass on the gauges does nothing other then read NORTH all the time. do i need so set something for the GPS to correct this? WEATHER, at the top right of the weather, it reads GPS Weather, does this change on location of the car? I will be driving to TX in two weeks and was wondering if this would change as I drive?

Thanks if anyone can answer these questions that would be very cool!

Thanks again
Phil

1. how is it not sized correctly? can we get a screenshot. Also, John has included many different options to fit iGuidance into your screen to your liking. There is an indicator on the GPS page. Have you set Iguidance to native in RRConfig?

2. are you using XPORT or GPSGate to split your GPS ports? are the GPS ports lower than 9? make sure you are not using the same GPS port for both RR and iGuidance.

I use RDP (Remote Desktop) to configure my carpc from inside. DFX 2.0 was just fine with this but 3.0 makes it very difficult.

For instance, music browser does not display anything in the list (unless I turn iLists off). However, jukebox does nto display anything with iLists on and when I turn them off and access jukebox roadrunner freezes.

Any ideas on how I can get this to work with RDP. I love to setup and test everything that way.

Thanks, Lew

how about you go test inside the car now. then that will let you know that it will not work using RDP. I would use VNC if i were you. www.realvnc.com

Good catch on that, I forgot who we were dealing with for a second there. Better post links to both while you're at it.

make sure your background pics path is correct, can change in the config or ini...ie...C:\Program Files\Road Runner\skins\DigitalFX 3.0\DFXBACKGROUNDS

PEOPLE... YOU REALLY NEED TO READ JOHN'S HELP FILE AND SEARCH THE THREADS. The last few questions posted here are some of the most common problems (easily found if you would just look)

Like crooked toe said..you need a com port splitter (xport or gps gate...xport is free)...make sure you assign a port for each app that uses your gps, then setup your app to use that port..make sure IG4 is set to a port lower than 9...if you need more help on this just search for xport..or gpsgate if you will use that.

I believe gpsweather will gather the info directly from your gps unit instead of the internet.. your gps has to be compatible to use the gps weather...I don't know what models support this...do some research on your gps unit to see if it will support weather.
