Menu Systems for Dummies
1. Installing a Menu System to you SatNav
This Guide was written using the Menu System for the 480x272 &320x240 resolution
SatNav’s. (Tested on B430, B350 and Navigo V1)
A Menu allows you to use multiple Navigation programs on your SatNav, and gives access
to a multitude of WinCE software
Down load the Menu from the Download Section and unpack to your PC, for this Guide I
used the following Menus, but it can be used on most of the others found in the Forum.
This section is for the Global setting of the menu Tab, there should be no need to change this. The user can change the background image, the new image must have the same attributes as the original.
NewIni = \SDMMC\MemoryMap\MMPocketNav.exe (could also be Command instead of NewIni)
SizeNormal = 48
SizePushed = 48
ScaleAlpha = 100
IconNormal = ..\Icons\MMpocket.ico
ScaleAlpha = 100
IconPushed = ..\Icons\MMpocket.ico
QuitOnExecute = no
TEXT
x = 8
y = 105
Text = MemoryMap
Color = FFFFFF
FrameColor = 000000
Size = 13
Weight = 700
CreateFont
This is the section that most user will wish to change. It determines the program icons and tells the menu what program to start when pushed/ Each Icon has 2 sections , ICONXPBUTTON and TEXT.
Taking the ICONXPBUTTON first , the first line is the Name of the Button
x = 15 The x position of the Icon on the screen (Left/Right)
y = 55 The y position of the Icon on the screen (Top/Bottom)
NewIni = \SDMMC\MemoryMap\MMPocketNav.exe
The line "NewIni" is the application that you want the icon to link to. In this case, the application is the Memory Map. You can change that path reflect the program you wish to open.
NewIni = \SDMMC\xxxx \yyyy(where xxxx is your subfolder, and yyyy is the program executable
On some menus the Newini is replaced by Command in the 2 menus I have used there is a mix. The way they work is the same.
Command = \SDMMC\xxxx \yyyy(where xxxx is your subfolder, and yyyy is the program executable
SizeNormal = 48 SizePushed = 48
These 2 determine the size of the Icon on the menu, you can increase or decrease the size , also making the size pushed different gives a visual indication that the icon has been pushed. Care must be taken as some icons don’t like being increased or decrease to much, if this occurs you will get an error and the icon will not be shown.
IconNormal = ..\Icons\MMpocket.ico
IconPushed = ..\Icons\MMpocket.ico
This determine which icon is to be displayed. Icons are taken from the \SDMMC\Menu\Icons Folder. You can also have different icons for the pushed state, again giving you a visual indication that the icon has been pushed.
QuitOnExecute = no This determines whether the menu closes or not on executing the command. On the Binatone this has to be no , as yes puts you back to the main Binatone menu
The second part is TEXT, this determines what text is displayed below the Icon.
x = 8 y = 105 Determines the position on the screen of the text
This section determines what icons and actions are carried out when a Tab is pushed. Changes can be made as per the Program Buttons/ Icons, with one difference. The NewIni(or Command) points to an ini file which open a different menu.The Menu ini files are:- GPS.ini, Office.ini, Games.ini, Tools.ini and gpsutils.ini (320x240 only)
