Okay bringing this back up since it has changed any chance of an idiot guide that is close to blow by blow but i know how to FTP and rough idea how to get the inint file thingy

It just got a lot easier with the new Hijack. You don't need to do the init file thingy any more, Hijack handles it. You don't need preinit, or hack init, or anything.

Since you already know how to FTP, here's how you do it:

- Install Hijack 309 or later.
- Create a folder somewhere on /drive0 for GPSapp. I use /drive0/var/gpsapp/.
- Put the single file "gpsapp" in the folder
- Tag that file as being readable and executable.
- Create a folder for the route data. I use /drive0/var/gpsapp/routes.
- Add the following to config.ini:

[gpsapp]
routedir=drive0/var/gpsapp/routes

[hijack]
;@DC ;@EXEC_ONCE /drive0/var/gpsapp/gpsapp

Provided your GPS receiver is connected properly, GPSapp will appear in the Hijack menu and work, the next time you're on DC (car) power.

Of course, you need to populate the ROUTES subdirectory with actual map data, you'll need to go by the GPSApp instructions for that one. If you run into trouble, post questions here.
