All GPS provide is coordinates and time synchronization (im not sure how that time part works), but not weather info

your right, I haven't looked at the weather page to much since I don't use it...I thought it would automatically go to your current location. sorry if I confused some people.

depends what gps receiver you have....here is one that will display weather. the weather info is not coming from the same satellites..

I searched for the problem but could not find anything simillar. I think it is skin related so I am posting here but if that is not so, please let me know.

I am running RR with DigitalFX 3.0, and iGuidance 3.0. Everything runs beautiful except for the "guages". So I downloaded Xport and splitted com port 7, where my GPS was connected to, to com ports 8 and 9. iGuidance is now configured to port 8, and RR is configured to port 9. The problem I am having is that everything runs well until I open the Guages skin. The guages work for about 20 or 30 seconds and then RR hangs and I have to close and restart it. I tried many different combinations of the com ports and all seem to yield the same results. If I don't go to the guages skin, RR seems to not hang. I don't realy know what may be causing this, RR, Skin, or Xport? BTW, the PC does not freeze. Only RR hangs.

Sounds like it could be a flash related problem, are you running the latest flash? If not use IE (not firefox) go to http://www.adobe.com and install the latest flash version.

EDIT: I am assuming you are not running flash clocks or anything.. but if that stuff works then i dunno

I am running a clock on the main screen and it works fine (until everything hangs of course, or ran fine before I decided to get my guages working) so I doubt it is flash related but just to rule it out, I wil remove the clock and try to see if it works that way.

I totally understand where you are coming from. That, honestly, is why I decided to do the help manual with the skin.

In the first part of your question, you asked why iGuidance was not embedding, and why it disappeared when you press a button.

In the help file it states in the GPS-iGuidance section:
"You need to set it correctly in RRConfig to allow it to launch and embed correctly. Below is what your settings should look when iGuidance is configured correctly:"

and below that there is a screen capture of the config utility showing the exact settings, and what goes in what box.

I honestly just do not know how to make it much easier than that

I did my best to write that help manual, for the new user / non programmer.
