I also removed IGmon menu button and the magnification on the right corner thing.

how did u remove the menu button and magnification and other menu's that igmon uses....i just upgraded to IG 3 myself

Im asuming that all IG(UMPC) menus and keyboard are good for our 7" sceens, so we can just use igmons mute and autoswtich features??

b8bboi, under what condition/criteria did you make iGmon to always on top? With the beta in iGuidance Native thread, iGmon "think" RR is in other mode than GPS. Is there anything we can make the 2 works together?

b8bboi · 08-22-2006, 05:06 PM

matrixpc, I check for the the visibility of the "iGuidance" window to determine whether iguidance is on top or not so yeah, there might be a problem with your implementation. I'll need to figure something out.

OIC, yeah, what available on GPS screen is RR's form, not iG.
How about this option.
I'll set a variable in RR as a flag. You check this flag, if it set to true, push iGmon to top, otherwise search as normal (for compartible with other FE porting of iGmon.)

Obviously, you can use Windows API IsWindowVisible with iG windows handler to check if RR is in GPS screen or not. iG windows handler is iGhwnd in the iG Native Beta release 8/24.

i cannot download iGMon. the link and host seem to be dead. possible rehost?

please PM me if you have the latest version. thx

EDIT: nevermind. the link seems to be fixed.

So I'm an obvious newbie extraordinaire but I'm wondering if anyone can give me a guide to permanently turning off all of the buttons. I'm using iG3 embedded with iGNative in the Blue Devil Skin and I don't need the buttons, but I do want the auto-pause and popping up for directions. I've set the buttons to default to off but when I go to the secondary music player screen and embed the already running gps, I get some of the buttons turning up. Anybody able to give me a short primer in making them go away permanently?

I'll also make the next version of RR read from this same object (if/when available) so it can also pull GPS info when it's got the port already opened. There's a good readme and a client example in the Zip. Source code available upon request. Let me know if you need anything else added/changed.

Been using Xport3 for some time now but I'm having some problems with that from time to time so I thought I might give this a try...
I just have one small question, if my GPS is at port Com 3, all I would need is a 3 in the ini file and then point all the applications to that one... RR, IG, Netstumbler and so on...

and btw, is there any progress on getting IGMon to work with IG Native in RR, I really miss the functions from it, and since we are never going to get v3 in Europe u are our only hope...

If your GPS reciever is on Com3 then in xport3 choose what other comports you want to replicate the com3 data to (for instance 5,6,7,8)

Then you set your GPS software (iguidance or whatever) to one of the replicated ports like 5, Then you set Road Runner to 6 Mapquest to 7 and Destinator to 8

Get the picture. I know you dont have all of those but you certainly could with Xport and have them all running at the same time

Yeah I know how to use xport... I was asking about the GPSServ that guino posted earlier in this thread...

RPM_VR4 · 10-02-2006, 06:55 PM

GPSServ is a way to get GPS info from RR without using a COMPORT (using RR instead, while it uses a COMPORT). If your app (ie: netstumbler) was not written to use GPSServ instead of a COMPORT, then it will not work with GPSServ.

Guino: XPort has always been buggy as hell for me. Any chance of adding a port splitter to RR? (in addition to the GPSServ API)

guino · 10-02-2006, 09:53 PM

I made GPSServ mostly at b8bboi's request, however, anything running sidealong with RR should probably just use the new SDK Interface -- check the FAQ for the syntax (very similar to GPSServ). GPSServ is only usefull for applications made to work with it.

I am not about to download a crapload of DDK source files (that I'm not even sure are available for free) just to make a virtual COM port. So no, there's no chance of me adding that to GPSServ or RR.

Guys ---

I know there are many threads on this at the moment - and questions of IGMON support with integrated IG. I figured before I get into a bunch of config - is this supported for at least VOL and SCREEN CHANGE with IG Integrated?

I know a few other development efforts were occuring as well.

Thanks so much for clarification. I love IGMON, have not used in a while since integrated and with 3.0 UMPC all I really needed were the VOL and SCREEN CHANGE as do many.

Just double checking - LS I think you are on top of this so anyone?

Thanks
