GPS Software in South Africa

**Mazda6gp** · 07-31-2007, 04:00 PM

Hello fellow South Africans

I'm using nroute with the digitalfx skin and an nroute skin/add on.

Which place in SA sell dc-dc power supplies?

If you looking for proper psu's with shutdown controllers etc, there isn't anyone yet. If you looking for a normal dc-dc converter, you can try A1 radio in durban, or even Autostyle.co.za.

OMG!!....i never knew there was actual SA ppl on this site!!!...

its amazing...

i have been trying forever to get help with sourcing products here in SA..

Where did you guys get your touch screens, DC-DC convertors with shutdown controllers.

thanks for the gps links!!!

What FE are you guys using?

thanks

I am bringing in a few lilliput screens in at a time direct from China. Otherwise, I've imported from around the world...

As far as FE, I have been using RoadRunner, but I have just been trying Centrafuse, and I must say it is the best thought out FE I have tried. Tried StreetDeck, but its too resource hungry.

Rax are you the guy that was selling that screen on myadsl website?

if so i was the guy that enquired about it!!!

will give centrafuse a go!, any tricks in terms of setup or is it as straight forward as RR, i am currently playing with RR...

any idea when you expecting those screens in? I am greatly interested!!!

That was me. Im not sure exactly when, but hopefully this month, I should get some screens in.

Centrafuse is pretty self installing, and whats nice is it comes with phonecontrol and destinator built in.

excellent man, please keep me in mind when you get the screens...

megesh at interdevsystems dot co dot za

will def give it a try, looked hard and far for SA maps for destinator but couldnt find any!

So to update this thread: Handymaps is an option, but I find it really ugly, and definitely not suited for touch screen use.
Garmin nRoute is very nice, but if you have a standard GPS receiver, you will need GPSGate to convert to Garmin Protocol. Also not touch screen friendly.
Destinator has the maps for PDA use. I'm trying to test if they will work with MapMonkey or Centrafuse, but I can't find a local supplier.

Anyone got anything to add?

What GPS receiver you using?

Hello Boys,
Hoe lyk dinge daardie kant van die wereld?

will def give it a try, looked hard and far for SA maps for destinator but couldnt find any!

Let me have a looky, I will reply back tomorrow night, I might just have an idea where to browse for the Destinator MAPS for ZA.

CF is quite nice, having heaps of fun with it in my Bakkie, finalizing the setup now - follow link in my sig if you wanna check it out.

Groete by die huis vir almal.

Mooi bly,
Beanie.
