Thread: Garmin RR: Overlay and OSK for GMPC Updated 11/09/08

hi monkeyracer, i tried to install this garmin overlay skin, but "nothing" appear on screen...i use DFX4 skin.

these steps i did:
1. L10,563,240,167,31,"GMPC||RUNGMPC||GMPC_OVERLAY" (added to c:\program files\roadrunner\skins\digitalfx4.0\garmin_gps , this button position i found from skin_editor, indicated button 6 that i assigned to run GMPC)

2. "GMPC_OVERLAY","RUN;$SKINPATH$ElcosMenu.exe|GMPCOL .skin"
"GMPCOSK","RUN;$SKINPATH$ElcosMenu.exe|GMPCOSK.ski n"
"X_OVERLAY","SENDMSG;ElcosMenu;Exit"
"GMPC","LOAD;GMPC.skin"
"RUNGMPC","RUN;$garminpath$;!CDP",GMPC.skin
(copy all above code to c:\program files\roadrunner\skins\digitalfx4.0\exectbl.ini)

3. garminpath=C:\Garmin\GarminMobilePC\Que.exe (added this to c:\program files\roadrunner\rr.ini)

4. copy all skin file (800x480) to c:\program file\roadrunner\skins\digitalfx4.0\

5. elcosmenu.exe and garminsendkey.exe copy them to c:\program files\roadrunner\digitalfx4.0\

The first step you changed the label for the button rather than the command the button performs. Find the Line that starts with B rather than L, and change that command and let me know if that works.

And it stays forever (as far as I can tell) unless I click on "Garmin RR" in the top left of the overlay and then it switches to:



From there, nothing. I can 'touch' any button (mouse click, didn't try keyboard) but nothing shows up and I can get nowhere else unless I exit back to the main menu. Any thoughts on the problem? thanks!

1. The steps you've taken to try to resolve it.
2. The skin you are using.
3. The version of RR you are using.
4. Attach a copy of your rr.ini and exectbl.ini, as well as the menu.skin (open it in notepad, and save as menu.skin.txt so it can be uploaded) from the skin you are using.
Without this information, it will be very hard for me to help figure it out.

Sounds like your button is not sending the full command. Post the files mentioned in the troubleshooting above, and I can see what is missing.
