Kbreeden, so this morning I get in the car and do a restart from the resume and can you believe the CPU issue went away and I now have GPS location working.

One final thing to solve and I should have a fully working system, I have tried a bunch of things to get the volume to lower when GPS is speaking like setting the GPS volume higher than the master volume etc. STill does not work any ideas on this one?

There's been a lot of discussion of this and I'm not sure the cause has ever been determined. I had the problem also and was pulling my hair (what's left of it anyway) out trying to figure it out. Finally, I did something - I have no idea what - and it has worked ever since. Best as I could tell, there was some sort of conflict between how Blue's RRConfig and the DFX skin were handling this. I can't remember for sure, but it seems to me that Blue may have recently updated his RRConfig program to address this somehow. Maybe Blue will chime in or you can review the last couple of pages of his RRConfig thread for some insight.

May be he will release his code/psds or whatever! *wishful thinking*

It sounds like Xport isn't running or you have not set things up properly. Try this:

1. Download Xport3 (previous post).

2. Open iGuidance outside of RR. Go to Tools/GPS Options/Autodetect. This will tell you what port your GPS Receiver is using.

3. Load Xport3. Go to the input section and choose the com port determined in 2 above. Then go to the output section. In the first output block choose any available com port from the list. Remember the number because it will be the com port setting that you use in iGuidance. In the second output block pick any other available com port. Remember the number because this will be the GPS setting that you choose in RRConfig. Click the enable service box. Leave Xport running (you should include Xport.exe in your startup folder so it always loads upon startup).

4. Open iGuidance outside of RR. Go to tools/GPS options/Com Port. Designate the com port number that you chose in the first output box of Xport. Exit iGuidance.

5. Open RRConfig. Hit the GPS tab and in the box labeled "GPS Port" type in the number of the com port that you chose in the second output box of Xport. Save and exit RRConfig.

In a typical scenario you should now be able to run iGuidance and the speedo in any RR skin. I have found Xport to be finicky at times so you may have to open Xport and just make sure it is shown as enabled and everything seems to be working. If Xport is receiving the information from your GPS receiver the NMEA data will be shown scrolling at the bottom.
