I tried again.. remove all first.. then map monkey, after that freedrive..
Map monkey works but freedrive doesn't..

I just don't get it

this error may be caused by the "," and "." could you tell me how numbers a shown over there.. are they 123.32 or 123,32 ? If this is the case you can either change your region settings or wait for the next version to come out.

If this isnt the case.. I will have to think some more :-)

No, I ment the add camera section...

Me, me, me, me, right ?

I'd thought it was a good idea to keep it skinnable, or at least make the text (speed) a label
instead of a part of the graphics so that we could change the speeds in an ini file.

Over here we have 30, 50, 70, 90 and 110km/h nothing else, so we wont have any use for 40, 60, 80...
where as Denmark have 80 and 130 and a few others, see my point ?

From what I can tell there is no way of adding a speed not listed, it's either one of those eight or no speed at all.

I haven't tested the speed-cam yet, will do tomorrow though...
But one thing that really annoyed me with MapMonkey (not Ninj's fault) when I was driving in Germany
(well, apart from being stuck in an focus when I for once could go as fast as I wanted )
was all the warnings for mobile speedcams, eventually the databases on the net will get clogged
up with mobile cameras and soon enough you wont be able to go 100m without a
"Warning, mobile speed camera"... so it would be nice if you somehow could disable different
type of cameras (mobile/gatos/red light).
I know this isn't much of a problem since you can remove them from the CSV file before you import
them, but you know how it is... sometimes you want it, sometimes you don't


Another thing... (it never stops)
Have you noticed any differance in detection speed based on how large the camera database is ?

Hi CDR,

Coolest version yet... however, a few considerations...
- Reversing "reversestreetname" variable only works for 2 letter reversing... One or 3 letters dont get reversed...
- GPS still isnt coming back from hibernation... I need to go into settings, gps setup, and then save, then it goes back to normal...
- Can you add an option of adding speedcams with custom speed? like a numpad comes up to enter the speed? And can you make the speed of the cams in another color, it is a bit hard to read on the road...


Question, are the cams showing up on the map? Can they show so we have an idea of near cams? its cool for the highway to see how many are ahead and stuff...

Overall this is looking REALLY nice! nicer by the minute!

Hi.. yep I can see your point on the speedcam values.. I will have a look at setting differnt values for them in a ini file, then having labels change on the menu. As for the warnings.. Yeah I know what you mean, nothing worse than having it bleating at you when ones coming up and you cant shut it up.. thats why I have made it stop bleating at you by a simple tap on the screen.. it cancels any audio alert.. if you tap again it stops the flashing.. As for the speed of warnings, it checks every camera in a 10km radius every second.. then every 5 mins refreshs this 10km database. So it shouldnt slow down at all.. to give you an example it loads all 6000 cams into its db in less than 0.5 second here, so I dont think it will be a problem. (famous lasts words)

so.. yep will add label settings in the .ini file for next version :-)

Yes it is, just switch backed and tested with "," and got a blank screen.

Is there a log file to see what went wrong?

I have exactly the same problem. I have uninstalled MapMonkey first. FD was never installed on this comp before (I am testing Laidbacks D3 plugin now), which is WindowsXP SP2 CZ.

BTW I have realised there is a error message box on the screen which hids itself behind FreeDrive but can be seen shortly after pressing Alt+F4:

Run-time "13":
Type mismatch.
