OK, when I do this, the gauge stays up. Now, I do have the gauges
set to "always on top" because I kept losing them behind the main
screen (I don't have too much screen space on the laptop). Maybe
that's part of it?

OK, I'll try that - I assume that's the same thing that Rich
Cone was talking about.

I don't either - I've been running the maps at the default size,
so I don't think that's what's going on.

I'll try again tonight and see what happens.
BTW, I guess maybe I shouldn't admit this publicly, but I don't actually
have any useable traces yet. My maps weren't making any sense at all,
despite having checked all the connections and re-checking the
calibrations. Well, it's all related to a minor brain fart. Ya'
see, in my open Prepared car, there aren't too many flat spots that
won't get rained on where I can mount the G-cube. The best place
seems to be the top of the fuel cell in the trunk, and I run the
cord forward to the power module which is mounted on the side of
the transmission tunnel. You can probably figure this one out a
lot faster than I did; I had the G-cube mounted facing the back of
the car, not the front. Oops! Anyway, I suspect that my next set
of maps will make a lot more sense...
Thanks folks,
