Thread: Street Atlas 7.0? question

SA2K3 has the option of north up or head up with auto rotate. OEM navs uses propriatary software/hardware. The DVD disk is where the map data is stored. The DVD unit does the rest. The best in car nav for US is the CoPilot. As for using a second SC for nav, it should work but if you got your winamp or WinDVD at high volume, you probably wont hear it. WinAmp has its own volume. You can lower that and turn your radio volume up, When the nav is giving directions, you can hear it over the Winamp. I'm still looking for a winamp plugin that mutes the winamp when theres another application is trying to use the soundcard. For example, when Copilot or SA is navving, Winamp plays fine. As soon as Copilot or SA is using the sound card, to give directions, Winamp mutes or pauses. After Copilot or SA is done using the soundcard, Winamp unmutes or unpauses. So far, I only found Winamp mute plugins for incoming calls on the modem. For those of you programmers, it would help us alot if someone could make the mute plugin for Winamp.

most OEM systems use the navtech maps for which the doc is here http://www.navtech.com/sdalformat/formatspec_down.html
