Thread: RELEASE - FreeDrive 0.52 PLUS II

Here's a WIP screenshot of FD embedding:




I have more requests:

- option to remove zoom bar
- option to programmatically set a destination adress by lat/lon
- option to remove the top bar with maneuver

And question:

- what's the format for next maneuver info ?

Thanks at all for your work

ok..

zoombar is part of destinator, it would mean changing the destinator.ini. I will have a look into doing this, cant really see a problem, only if its not installed in c drive.. I would need to add location setting in my ini file.. so on first thoughts.. no probs

option to programmatically set a destination adress by lat/lon, yep this will be included, unsure if its going to be in the next release, but defo will get it done soon.

option to remove the top bar with maneuver, this might be more tricky to do, and would effect afew dialog boxs. I will have a play

- what's the format for next maneuver info ?
I havent tested this yet, should really. The next manu should be requested like

COMSend "FDSDK" , "REQUEST:FDNEXTMAN:NCM"

and your reply back from FD would be something like

"SETLABEL;!FDNEXTMAN;Turn Left"

again you can just add your app name in the sdk.ini, this would then send out the info every second if it has changed from the last time it was sent out.

you would also use FDNEXTSTREET and FDNEXTMANDIST then from these three you could put together a statement like

Turn Left onto Market Street in 354 yards

I have kept them seperate to give the skinner more options.

should be a release in the next couple of days

netsuo, I have altered the destinator.bmp image to include a slider to look like your skin and edited the ini file to suit. I will be planning on intergrating a slider skin, so this should give you a few ideas.

grab it at http://www.x-digital.addr.com/FreeDrive/ncm.zip

just overwrite the files in C:\DestinatorApps\Destinator\Common\Interface\Visu al\All

cheers

However, without entering any house number, just street and clicking GO, the wrong street is still brought up as destination...



Req: in future, can we have just the .EXE in the update, (unless other files are changed), I have a hard time re-editing most files in the car when I forget to check them manually for changes... Thanks!

Question: any word on whether you will come to support the POI interface for touch? Currently POIs arent accessible to navigate from the menu... (There is a POI otion, but it brings the old Destinator interface without any navigate button or anything)

Thanks so much for your work! it is looking better by the day!

Last note: the reversing of street name from "Escocia R" to "R Escocia" is still not working on the FDROAD variable in RR, and not working for the bottom bar...


EDIT: ops, 1 thing I forgot: the "flashing everysecond" caused by the sdk is kind of distracting at times as it sometimes causes the list to "click" and stuff... is there maybe something that can be done about this? Also, is it possible for 2 apps to recieve information from FD? (So eg: NMC and another background app at the same time having access to FD speed)

Hi m8.. ok good news I have changed my coding so it now routes to the correct street :-).. I also noticed the house number updating the list, so have fixed that. I will include just the need files on updates, so to save you having to mess to much. On the poi thing. I thinking of binning the current one used by D3 and writing my own. I will look into this further once I'm happy where freerive is it, I think this is less important that afew other things like speedcams at the mo. The next update should solve your problem. Thanks for letting me work with you to sort it. I have also started to add a couple of things like VS,QT,MQ,NS,SR,LG,MG,D.,MJ,CM,MT to the reversestreet in the settings, this is so now when u do a street list it searchs right, you will see what I mean. You may need to add some extra ones as I've only had a quick look through just to make sure the reverse thing is working.

On the reversing the street name I will have a look, have you tried putting it like AV, R, in the settings.ini with a space before the R.. I will check whats going on.

cheers

I want to add a couple of things before the next release, O and remove all the debug code I stuck in to see what was going on.

Man.. your the one.

Thanks for all your infos. Now i'll play with the code
