[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 8552"] Like I said, I mainly use the remote control so the back function there is no problem. Also, I mentioned that the tablet pc has an ESC button (back function in MP) right next to the jog dial. It also has a TAB button. But with the jog dial and the ESC button next to it navigation is a breeze. As far as launching the GPS navigation I can do it two ways. I have adedicated button on my remote control that tells girder to start Street Atlas. I can also do this within MediaPortal. It comes with a plugin called My Programs. It's not on by default (I don't think) but you can enable it and it can run any application! One problem I had with it is that when you start an application, MP will basically freeze and wait for the application to finish before MP can function again. So I wrote a little program that I run from MP and as a command line parameter I tell it what other program to run. What my program does is it executes the program you tell it to, leaves the program running and immediately exits itself. This causes MP to "think" that the program it ran has closed and MP resumes normal operation. The program I made is called Execute and you can tell it what program to run before it terminates itself. You can also specify how you want the program to run: [list]Hidden no focus Hidden with focus Normal with focus Normal no focus Maximized with focus Maximized no focus Minimized with focus Minimized no focus [/list] (or something like that, I'm not sure anymore.) That's how I run zoom player as well. When I run Zoom Player I return control to MP and with Girder I make the navigation buttons to function with MP and the play/ztop/ff/rew/pause are sent to ZoomPlayer. That way I can have zoomplayer playing in a small window on top of MP, while I use it Ichecking the weather for example) [/QUOTE]
