Just start iGuidance, enter a destination, and then switch to GE... you will get the GE display and hear the IGuidance voice in the background!

BTW, Is there a way to start GE in silent mode without the irritating splash screen and other message windows?

If it is empty, maybe you should download the file again.

i finally found the download link in post 350 of this file and replaced the net.kml.ini and that seemed to do the trick. EUREKA!

for those of you looking to cache, here is a duplicate of my post from the lsx thread that may be of help:

google 'ge cacher', i think that's what i used. it has parameters for upper left corner, then the width and the length of the total area you want to cache. also has a parameter for altitude so you can see how high up you want to get, and the width and length of each box u make. you'll have to play with the parameters a bit before you get the altitude to match each step's box size, but you can watch it as it goes along to verify.

a few pieces of advice:
-make sure ur cache level is set to 2000mb in GE which is the max if u want the map as much as you want.
-MAKE SURE that when you copy it over to the carputer you have it set to 2000mb as well, otherwise when you copy the cache file over itll basically wipe out part of the file and the index and ull have to do it over
-copy over your ge cache AND the index file, the cache file is useless without its index and ull have to start over if u lose it.
-if you have multiple areas you would like to cache, do it in one run of GE (you can still use the cacher multiple times, but leave GE open) and monitor your cache file to ensure its not exceeding 2000mb or you will wipe out your initial cached area. i found that if you exit in between sometimes, the areas u had before disappear from the index file even though the cache file size still shows as the same. you may also want to just backup the cache and the index file incrementally on the way to be safe in case it gets messed up along the way.
-make sure in your carpc you have run GE at least once with internet access before you load in your cache file or it wont work.

hope all this helps

does anyone have problems with the gps or ruler screen popping up when executing commands on other screens?

Guino, you are the PIMP of all.. This is a great toy...

For some reasons, the my RoadRunner/DigitalFX crashes when I close the RREarth window... any idea?

Here is my close command in the RREARTH.skin:

B,680,0,61,51,"EXIT||GE_CLOSE",

This is with a fresh install...

Thanks!

Looks like I just missed the boat... kompassist.co.uk is apparently down for an indefinite amount of time. Doing a DNS lookup on the domain returns:

Registration status:
Renewal required.
*** This registration has been SUSPENDED. ***

Does anyone know when/if it will be back, or if there is an alternate source for this plugin? It's the only file for which I could not find a mirror...

This is the latest I have...

Is anyone else having issues with running this in the DXF3.0 skin. It doesn't embed properly & doesn't turn on GPS tracking. It works fine with the test skin though in DXF2.0.. ??

Does anyone know how to launch the RREarth plug-in with DFX3.0?

take out that exit... It seems like ge_close already have an exit command embeded in...

I looked at the debug file, and it's executing exit call twice which leds rr to shutdown..

so, "exit||ge_close" ====> "ge_close" that should do it...
