    Working skin for MS Streets and Trips embedded in RR

    Working pretty well anyway, if I were you I would not go out and buy it based on this setup but for those of you that already have it, it's workable.

    The full write up is here http://www.hypersprite.com/auto/tech-z-008/

    The short how to is
    Set your RR to Hide:Taskbar
    Change your "GPS","GPS" on your menu.skin to "LOAD;STREETS.SKIN;Streets;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Streets and Trips\Streets.exe;Map - Microsoft Streets & Trips","Streets"
    Download and copy the files found here http://www.hypersprite.com/auto/tech...eets-night.zip into your skin folder.

    and it will look more or less like this

    and


    To get full functionality, information, go to the first link on the full writeup so you can modify the GPS pane and a few other things to make it work just a bit better.

    Dang.. you really put some work on it... I guess anybody not willing to spend the $$$ for a high-end GPS software could get S&T instead (~$40 last time I checked).

    Regarding closing the application, RR will not "close" it by default when exiting the front-end, BUT if you go back into RR and launch the GPS again, RR will use the running application that was "hidden". You can adda "CLOSE" command to make it actually close out of the application when needed. Optionally, you can make your "exit" command (on the exit menu or wherever you exit from RR):

    "CLOSEWINDOW;Map - Microsoft Streets & Trips||EXIT"

    This will close the "hidden" application in case you left it open. It won't do anything wrong if S&T was not open.

    I got S&T 05 for 15 buck from costco.
    I may try this skin.
    I really like the routing part of this software. It's worth 15 buck but NOT 50.

    Guino,
    I added that line to my main exit and it did the trick.
    Updated the website with instructions.

    Thanks,
    Chris

    oh, btw, I updated line the GPS line in the Audio_Player.skin file so that button works as well. I'm going to modify your skin files right now to work with the brushed metal skin.

    Good deal, I was hoping someone with photoshop skills could do that.

    I like the look of the skin that's wrapped around S&T. Nice Icons!
