Mio C250 question

Yeah. I've got to learn how to use mortscript. I've seen that here and there but never payed too much atention to it.

Probably this has been covered before but, are there any tutorials arround on how to use mortscript specifically on a Mio gps?

Mortscript runs the same on any device -> http://www.navitotal.com/showthread.php?3919-Mortscript-Guide

And you could use this instead -> http://www.navitotal.com/showthread.php?8930-Mortscript-applications-repository&p=44921#post44921

Thanks for those links.

Yes, now that i read about mortscript and its commands i see that it was a stupid question. I can program in html, php, vb, etc. Mortscript seems ok to understand. Lets see if i can do something with it.

Mortscript is easy, it's like a cross between batch files and a full programming language.

Just for use on PNA's you'll use common commands like Run, Sleep, Kill, etc more than anything else...

Be aware that there are three versions, Windows X86, Windows Mobile and Windows CE, Make sure you're using the right one for the platform.

I've made some ultra simple scripts and its all fine but all i really wanted to do was to change the image at start up and costumize the menu and buttons. Since all the related files are inside the windows folder and, apparently, everything is stored in a ROM i guess its not going to be that easy... not to say impossible.

I know that with a mortscript i can load stuff at start up but... i want my scripts to be in the gps memory and not the sd card. How should i call them from the gps if all i have access to is \My Flash Disk?

Also, i installed iGo by deleting the original navigation software and copying iGo files to the miomap folder, then i renamed igo.exe to miomap.exe. All my maps are in the sd card and iGo can load them without any problem. If my gps wasnt unlocked would i be able to do this? Im asking because i'm starting to wonder if my mio is in fact unlocked...

Furthermore, when i copy something to the gps memory the system automatically creates a folder called Copy of Windows so that, in the next hard reset, it can restore everything to its original state . There is an image file inside \windows called WallPaper.bmp (the image that is loaded at boot up) that i would love very much to change but, for the reasons stated before, i cant.

Thanks for the tip but i do not want to customize igo. I want to change the image that shows up when you reboot the gps and i also want to change the mio menu with the mp3, settings and miomap buttons.

I've read that entire thread but, as i mentioned before, if i create a folder in the root of the gps memory, in the next hard reset everything i created (folders or files) goes away.

You can change Windows desktop wallpaper with mortscript by changing the relevant registry entry and using the Redrawtoday command, however the first image you see is in rom and can only be changed with a reflash.

Did you try restoring the changes lost on a hard reset with files backed up in a safe location?

I'm working on and off on this... i'll try to develop my Mortscript skills.

All my registry entries disappear with a hard reset... frustrating.

They will do, but mortscript can write them back in on boot.
