    Feature Request - Future GPS options

    David,

    I don't think this was in your future feature stuff, so I figured i'd throw it in the ring.

    Lets assume that the XLE version (The one with GPS, if I have it right) comes with the destinator maps, so it'll basically be an all-in-one with maps built in, right?

    It'd be nice if you could work in the functionality to do two things:

    1. Set the clock via GPS time.

    Have this happen once an hour or so, just sync the system clock to the GPS clock. I don't know how the destinator DLL works, but I imagine it'd be pretty easy to sniff local time and set the system time to it.

    2. Have the Day/Night skin system based on the Sunrise/Sunset data from the GPS signal

    I think iGuidance already does this. Instead of setting the Day/Night skin per a proprietary time set in the setup, have it so you can have the GPS kick the skins over at / around the sunrise / sunset times provided by the GPS signal.

    #1 is something many factory navigation systems already do. #2 is more of a 'cool idea' to make it more 'automatic'. Although it'd be nice in the future to have some sort of available hardware interface box for CF that could have an I/O on it to get the car's dimmer/illumination signal as well as IGN/ACC.

    Both of those are on my list with about 8 other nice features that will be coming with the final navigation system...

    Including TMC, Avoid Roads, Import new Avoid locations (speed camera's), and more...

    I haven't included it all in the known issues...
