After some tinkering, and a small but of scripting, I think I solved it! Now if there is more than one location with that city name, a menu will come up allowing you to choose the city that you want. This is also helpful for area's other than the United States, as it will usually show a list of cities, and allow you to choose one.

Here is a little preview of it in action:

Thats great.....!! Funny story, as you know i am new to AZ, however a few weeks back after taking a small road trip I drove through this broken down little ghost town of Miami, AZ... I said the same thing at the time... Then again there is Cleavaland Mississippi and Philadelphia, Alabama.

I have got 2 small problems with the skin/freefone. As shown in the top left corner of the picture the battery and signalstrength from freefone are showing up. How can i remove this?

Also when i press the menu button on the bottom left freefone starts no matter if i change the button to something else. Now it is calendar but freefone starts when i press it.

I have not clue whatsoever is causing those indicators to show there. First off, the Battery and signal image are not in the On image that ships with the skin, thus impossible to show them.

The only way this could happen, is if you edited the menu.skin file your self, edited the Menu_On.png yourself, or both

As for the menu skin button, the same thing.... the code on the button in the bottom left is "LOAD;menu2.skin". There is no way this could be launching FreePhone.

I know Roadrunner has many features, but saving lives ?!? lol

Also wanted to remention the problem I'm having with RR/DFX 4.0 chatting s**t, it quite often, usually when booting PC up, or browsing music, is talking to me, and doesn't seem to wanna ever shut up! Says things like 'background reset', 'setting coms', 'user switch' and some other random jargen.

I think this might have something to do with the user function on DFX 4, as I didn't get this problem with 3.0.

I didn't want to report as a bug, becuase it probably isn't, just would like to know if anyone else has/had this problem and if there is anything I could do about it.

Thanks for your time,

Phil

I have been having this problem also. I have posted a couple times about it, but only one other person seems to having the same thing happen. I know turning off voice will take care of it, but I like the voice on. I have RR say a welcome message when it first starts amoung other stuff.

I will have to look into this and see if there is a way to make those commands that run in the background silent.

On another note, there are just too many options in the skin to fit on 2 menu screens. I have created a third. I know some are probably gonna squawk about this, but it is something I though was necessary. If someone does not want 3 screens, you can simply open Menu2.skin in notepad, and change the "Load;Menu3.skin" command to "Load;Menu.skin". The buttons on the 3rd screen are all "press and hold" to change as well.

I will be adding all of the stuff from the "Utilities" menu as button choices to get to them quickly from a main menu if you want (Calculator, Scribble Pad, Traffic ect)

I have put a number on the button for reference to what skin you are on on the MENU button. As the number can be small to read on a 7" screen, I put the 1 on the top left of the Menu button, 2 in the top center, and 3 on the top right of the button.

Is their a new version of DFX4 out? I can't find that line in the menu2.skin, althought it does exist in the menu.skin

And how can we get that number to show up on the Menu button?

John & Blue, great work! I have enjoyed DXF since 2.0, it gets better and better with each new version!

I have been trying to get DXF4.0 to work correctly on 4 different computers. I have had varying levels of succses, but never a complete operating setup.

I am now downloading all fresh files, and hopefully the latest files. Here is a list of what I have downloaded. Please tell me what I need and or do not need. More importantly, is there any order as to which files are installed first, second and so on?

DigitalFX_40.exe
iGuidanceUMPC.zip
install_flash_player.exe
RoadRunnerBeta.zip (Weather fixed version)
RoadRunnerBinary.zip (from Gino's site)
RR_Install.exe (written by W3bMa5t3r)
RRConfig.exe (written by W3bMa5t3r)
RRMedia_v1.0_Installer.exe

I have spent many days reading the whole DXF4 thread, took awhile. I know that I have many of the same problems that people seem to keep re posting about. I think that by removing and reinstalling everything, and in the correct order may help me to solve many issues. I am going to work on only 1 computer till I get it right. By working on 4 different computers, I get lost every now and then as to were I left off.

Thank you for your comtinued help, and keep up the great work on your stellar skin.

DigitalFX_40.exe
iGuidanceUMPC.zip
install_flash_player.exe
RoadRunnerBeta.zip (Weather fixed version)
RoadRunnerBinary.zip (from Gino's site) <---- older verison
RR_Install.exe (written by W3bMa5t3r)
RRConfig.exe (written by W3bMa5t3r)
RRMedia_v1.0_Installer.exe

Install the flash to get that out of the way.
If your using iGuidance(GPS) then just replace file in zip with file loc in progam files\inav\iguidance.
Run the RR_Install
Replace the RoadRunner.exe with the one from the beta zip
Then install the skin.
Don't need the RRMedia installer as that is already included in the skin install

Run the config and set all the paths, should be good to go then...

Oh, BTW... RRConfig.exe (written by BlueZX3).
