Turning the Screen Orientation Upside Down?
 
I work at an IT/Consulting Firm and one of the guys in Sales has tasked me with finding a solution for his problem. He has the PPC6800 and likes to use TomTom when he travels, however he has a strange request. He wants to hang his phone from the rear view mirror for easy viewing of the gps. but when he does this he's looking at it upside down.

Is there anyway to turn the screen display upside down or will I have to tell him he's out of luck?

I'm not following you. Is this a web address? Google and I couldn't find anything.

the best I can do is to to give you a program that will allow your rotate the screen in 3 directions. upside down portrait is not one of them. it will do Portrait, landscape left and landscape right. it puts an icon on the today screen that you tap.

I'll look around for ya.

download the zip file below. install it to your main memory.

thanks, this guy is very set on upside down though... it's not a life or death matter, so he can wait. But now that I've searched and turned up nothing i am curious. I don't know the logistics of the code, but technically there should be some way for the screen to invert to upside down. i mean we can turn it every other way, so why not, right?

Anyway, it'll be interesting to see if you turn anything up.

if you know how to code and and have the sdk here:

also google:
ppc upside down portait

there are a few apps out there, but be carful. they say they replace critical files on your device and it might not work. so you could be looking at a hard reset. best to try it on an extra device.


this is one:

Why not just get a window mount for it, or a vent mount? Another point, some states have laws regarding the size of items obstructing the driver's view in certain parts of the windshield, ie rearview mirror hanging objects.

Or better yet why not get a portable GPS for 100 bux and get better GPS. I mean I understand getting GPS on the 68 is nice but a 4x3+ inch screen with full audio and turn by turn is much better and easier to see.

A simple Mortscript file will do that for you.
