Would be kewl to be able to just look at the map and know where free hotspots were.

why is there 50% in your signature? Freedrive seems rather developed alteady to me? What else can we expect, or should this 50% be updated

Yeah your Fav's icon appears where all the saved places are. Unsure if you can link sound to it. As for editing the name I can do this no probs. I only have a delete and go option at the mo. Its saved in Destinators 'My Favorites' POI file.

yeah thats a good idea. not saying it will be done tomorrow, but a great idea, and if I can do it I will.

re- 50% complete.. lol yeah might be nearly 60% now. I still got lots to do, I've just added birds eye view and hidemouse. I really want speed camera intergration.. that and sirf gps compatability is the next thing I want to do

may take a couple days break, see what other ideas appear

I've already added a save position button, that when pressed switchs you to a keyboard & textbox, you then either have the choice on typing a name for the location, or if you just click add, it will save the name as the address which is shown on the save page. :-) It then adds it to your Fav's list so its easy to recall.

For voice output I'd go with SAPI5/6. It will basically read anything that you want. For my app, I have configurable voices, so I can ask if I want a female or a male voice.
But I was talking about voice input not output

sorry yeah thats what I ment input not output. Would be nice to say 'save' then voice some text then say 'add' ..

CdRsKuLL, I don't know if you don't get 0l33l's (not so) subtile hints or if you're just ignoring them

But since NaviVoice handles voice integration for most other apps, I myself would rather see that it/he did for Freedrive as well.
Don't get me wrong, if you want to make a voice interface as well, fine, but initially it would be nice to have "Freedrive-Talk"
and then have you concentrate on the more "important" stuff like traffic information, speed cameras and such.

well.. I do want him to HELP if he doesnt mind.. but since I've only been doing vb for like 6 weeks.. I really need to know what I need to do to help. I am at the mo learning about hotkeys and intend adding them this week, local and global.

:-)

Here's what I recommends: start off simple. If you want to change voices later then add that later. Good link to source.

When you get ready to add voice INPUT to FreeDive you know who to contact
