Thank you Aiken Drum. Your modification of the original plugins_hook so it looks like the above quote (reversing the height.so and the hook order) successfully allows Offroad Navigator and Tripmaster to correctly work with Height. Way to go!

I put the v17 height.so into the Height directory because that is where the modified ttn file points to. Also put v17 height.cfg in the Height directory. No other files from v17 were used, just those two.

Height v8 only has those two files and they will go into the Height directory also. Either version worked like that, I suspect other versions may also work like that..

I have tried this now but find that with Navcore 9.058 it is unsatisfactory because although the Height altitude shows up in the normal place on the screen the digits flicker, whereas they don't if the modified ttn file and/or Tripmaster and/or Off Road Navigator are not installed on my 940.

May be the flickering of the Height digits didn't happen with your v9 Navcore or perhaps it didn't bother you? I found I had this problem using either Height v8 or Height v17 with your modified ttn in the root and with just heght.so and height.cfg in the Height directory on the TomTom.

You are correct - my numbers do have a slight flickering. It only bothers me if I look at the numbers too long (smile). If it were a distraction I would remove Height, but until that happens, I am willing to live with this quirk.

I found the flickering of the Height numbers bothered me a lot as it was on my main TomTom navigation screen. Also while it is nice to have Tripmaster and Off Road Navigator there for occasional use my need to use either of them is in practice very limited.

In any case I have just ordered a Garmin 1200T Satnav from www.amazon.co.uk as it was only 59.99GBP and I was interested to see how their TMC Premium Traffic compared with TomTom HD Traffic. This also comes with features such as an altitude meter, average, speed, fuel consumption and total trip distance that TomTom so stupidly and thoughtlessly denies to its customers as a product feature.

It seems it likes to use the Hook program just like Tripmaster? On the modified ttn all I did was reverse the loading order of Height and Hook, putting it to Hook and Height. So loading Hook first is either making the environment friendly or is letting Height use the Hook program just like Tripmaster.

Not sure what screen detection was implemented in v10 of Height, might have been just which screen to show itself? I didn't need to fix the cfg file in v17 to get rid of the screen numbers like I had to on v8, v17 showed altitude on the initial run of the program.

So to get Height_17 running all I did was keep the modified ttn I used for v8, copied the height.cfg to Height directory and copied height.so from the extracted wrapper directory to the Height directory, just replaced those two files. Did not use the other files.

Height v8 and Height v17 also runs ok beside Offroad Navigator. Maybe I will try Joghurt's other stuff with the Hook?
--------------update--------------
Fuel control does not work on v9.xx navcore with hook

I had a hard time understanding what/how you managed to get tripmaster and height working. So to clarify things really easy i did snapshots on this fix so anyone can easily put the files on there tomtom with ease.
Thanks for your hard work...by the way this works like a champ!!!

You shouldn't use Notepad to edit height.cfg as you suggest in your final step as this will eliminate its Linux text file format when it is saved.

Wordpad or Word are ok.

I would have thought Joghurt and Roussillat could now get their heads together to work out what is required to avoid the flickering Height digits.

Your right, I edited the cfg file using Word 2007. I re uploaded the pic in .zip file as they are way to blury for anyone to see

The Height does pulse a little but not a bother to me. You could try putting it on a different part of the screen where it won't stand out by itself. Seems to be accurate, it went negative on me when I drove through the Mobile Bay Tunnel, said I was 48 feet under water

Thanks for the kind words..im about to outdo myself and provide all the files needed in a .zip file. The CFG file is converted for "feet" here in the U.S. If you need Metric just change it back to M.
