Thread: New revision of AutoTouch

Okay, I've put the new version of AutoTouch up on the site http:\\www.sarinarts.com\autotouch.htm you can also download the exe only from http:\\www.sarinarts.com\autotouch.exe if you already have it. The new install also include Zorro's marvelous skin. I've fixed up a few random other bugs in navigation and added a splash screen so that you know it's launching.

btw.. I have been testing it with Windows media player 10 .. and it works flawlessly.. at least as far as i can tell....

Grem

Still not had chance to test all this properly so cant tell u about the screen issue yet!

Just a quick question...does the map accutally rotate with direction? I have read so many posts about how crap mappoint is for nav etc etc but with VOICES nav it is very usable but the map doesnt rotate. So does your map rotate?

I cant test cos i havent got my carpc installed in a vehicle and dont have any recorded GPS data blah blah .....

Ps. Please tell me it does....

PPS. I just installed the new version as posted above...unistalled old and reinstalled...wheres the zorro skin i cant find it! thought it was part of package!

The map does rotate (it's an option in settings)

The Zorro skin should be there, but it looks like the version that got copied into the install has a mistake in it.

Go to the "\program files\autotouch" directory and then open the zorroskin sub-directory.
Open up skin.xml withe notepad
Move the linke which says "<name>Zorro</name>" from inside the <main> section to outside of it.
Now change the name of the directory "ZorroSkin" to "Zorro" because I screwed that up to.
And restart and go to settings to change. I apologise for that!

<Anyone who downloads it from here on out will find that it is correct!>

Now save the the file and go to the settings page.

Grem,

I love this thing so far... its awesome... which is why i keep bugging you about it...

How mcuh of a pain would it be to add the dual volume for the nav vs the music ?

and on the nav screen.. where you search for place names.. can we add a search radius to that... and pick whether we want to search close to current location or close to destination...

that would make the nav super awesome.. ah and btw.. if you need any help with this coding.. or just some donations.. let me know.. i am more than willing to help

Will Map Point work with my Delorme Earthmate (usb)? I did some quick research and I think it will work, but I want to ask you guys before I run out and buy the software.

it should work with any NMEA compatible GPS locator...

so yes...

This looks awesome from what I see on your page.

Mappoint question-with whatever you did, does it have any sort of auto-reroute? Mappoint doesn't seem to do that at all when I tried it.

Yes it will work. I'm using Map Point 2004 with the Delorme Earthmate (usb) and it works fine. You have to install the COM port emulation drivers from here, http://www.delorme.com/support/gps/uemate005.asp, to get it working with the usb device.
