Most GPS receivers give new location info once per second. IGuidance and many other software products refresh screen at the same 1 Hz rate. However, some navigation products, even though they use the same 1 Hz receivers, they smooth the movement of the map in the software. (Once you see that, everything else looks so old generation technology ;-)

Do the new SIRFIII receivers update more often? OK, this totally got off topic now!

No, they don't. Garmin has a 5 Hz receiver, but I suspect receiver alone is not enough. The software, too, would have to be able to refresh more frequently. (Perhaps a few versions from now we will see it in our favorite products, too.)

Been messing around with the themes.ini and reshacker. Is there a way anyone has increased the font sizes without using the iGZoom or any other zoom application? Figure maybe the only way is maybe through a hexeditor but all I was able to find and change was the font type which appears to be Tahoma. I was hoping to be able to change the font without using the zoom tools which only makes everything looks blocky.

Hoping someone maybe hiding in the trenches has figured this out

Thanks,
Chuck

chickster: Haven't found a way to do it, but here's a possible workaround. Change the font name inside iGuidance to something like "MYGPSFONT" (using ResHacker?) and then with a font utility, grab the tahoma font, rename it to MYGPSFONT, and make the size larger (in other words, make the size 24 equal to 12 on the new font file, and then iGuidance will try to display size 12, and in fact will display size 24).

I have iGuidance 2.1NA and put the pre-prepared theme.ini and also the ctheme.ini (which should be the one required) found through this thread in the iGuidance directory where the .exe was to be foun and....nothing changed. I edited the file to increase the road name font size further and....nothing changed.

I love IG but find the itty bitty text on the road names unreadable...can someone help me here please?

Hi Pip, the font is changeable in most versions, including yours. Start from the beginning, step-by-step: >click here<

Ah, thanks for that. I created a ctheme.ini (I have 2.1) and adjusted the font size alone...seems to have worked. Must be something funky with the .ini file I downloaded.

EDIT: Actually...it was me....still had a .txt extension....duh!

I suspect it doesn't. It was designed for a common CarPC (WinXP,etc).
