Thread: Finally a great alternative to Destinator 3!

cant seem to get their site to work. Any idea about thepricing of the software, maps and SDK etc? What do you mean by TMC GPS? do you mean the GPS recievers with RDS/TMC recievers built in like the one by carTFT (made by a german place i posted a link to somewhere)

It is the GNS GPS/TMC reciever they use. I wonder if it will work with a differernt RDS/TMC reciever as I want to use a dead reckoning GPS module.

Alturion hope to have the TMC deal signed soon which will add Traffic Data to the features, using the supplied RDS/TMC GPS Receiver means there is no subscription fee required nor a connection to a cell phone.

UK-only as far as I can tell

simply beatifull... now yet to get a demo to test. did anyone already contact them in order to get it?

I think it would be worth approaching this profesionally. IE someone whith the knowledge to develop this takes control and contacts the company telling them what we would like to do and asking relevant questions such as the ability to take TMC from an RDS reciever such as the USB one developed here or from Tpeg (or whatever its called on DAB). Does it have dynamic re-routing in response to TMC data? If it does it would be perfect but as some guys are currently working on an alternative to TMC then maybe the data can be adapted to appear like TMC to this software sow e can take full use of the re-routing behaviour. Also, as the D3 SDK might now expire and they seem to be a bit gay then mayeb this company will be mroe willing to work with us.

Terran, Gareth (UK_mp3car), stevieg and ninjamonkey would be my choices to sort it out as they are the guys who know the most about this stuff.

EDIT: not that i am nominating you guys or anything. I just know how passionate you are about your GPS and traffic info!

I do not think asking them about demoversion of current product would require professional approach . But I agree they should not be contacted ad-hoc regarding their SDK policy etc.
