Thread: Destinator 3 Frontend v1.1

Edit: Links are back up! Those of you who downloaded it earlier need to get it again


Hello!

A lot of bug fixes and a few new features bring us to version 1.1 of my frontend

Code:

Version History

[v1.1]

*New Features*
--------------

-InfoBar
	An optional toolbar can appear at the top of the destinator window 
	containing the following information
	- Current Location (Street/Road Name, City, Zip/Postal Code)
	- Estimated Time of Arrival (Including Total distance of route)
	- Estimated Time Remaining (Including total distance remaining)
	- Winamp Controls (Next, Prev and Pause - Example skin is included)

-Winsock Control
	You can now create custom applications (Sample app included) to 
	connect to the frontend and control it yourself. Information 
	(such as Long, Lat, upcoming Maneuvers) can also be retrieved. 
	See the Developers sub directory for more information.
	
-Route Generation Function
	It's now possible to switch between Quickest and Shortest route 
	from a button on the menu bar. (Example skin is included)

-Keyboard Shortcuts
	Most (if not all) functions can be accessed via a customisable 
	Key combination

-Updated Zoombar
	The updated zoombar by weekendowel has been included in this version.
	This makes it easier to use on a smaller screen. The previous zoom 
	buttons have been removed from the default skin (However the functions 
	are still available for skinning)

-Updated Voices
	A new voice pack (Thanks, CdRsKuLL) has been included as well as 
	the default

-Size and Position
	It's now possible to have the frontend remember the last size and 
	position of the window. You can either set these as permenant values 
	to use every time, or have the frontend save the current values 
	every time you close.

-TMC Traffic Alerts
	It's now possible to enable the TMC alert system within destinator. At 
	the time of writing this is unconfirmed to be fully functional.

-Setup Screen / Skin Chooser
	You can now configure the frontend easier using the setup screen. This 
	screen appears the first time you run the frontend (or after an upgrade)
	or if you use the "/SETUP" command parameter.

-New Skins
	3 New skins have been included in the package.

	* Classic [Wide OSK] by ÐuTcH
	* Brushed Metal 1.0 by Ninja Monkey [OSK by ibutep]
	* Metal by Ibutep


*Changes / Fixes*
-----------------

-DestDLL
	Maps of 50mb or more can now be opened (Thanks, Laidback)

-Manuevers Screen Fix
	Pressing Home would not clear the View Manuevers Screen. This has been 
	fixed

-GPS Status Fix
	Clicking GPS Status would open GPS Setup. It now opens the correct screen

-OSK Now Optional
	The On-Screen Keyboard can now be turned off by default. A new button 
	has been added to the toolbar to allow it to be activated (Example 
	skin is included)

-Winamp Mute Fixed
	Winamp now (optionally) mutes when a maneuver is approaching

-Menus not working Fixed
	A bug has been fixed where the menus would occasionally cease to function

-OSK Not accepting extended characters fixed
	The On Screen Keyboard would not transmit any characters above the 127 
	ASCII code range. This has now been fixed.

-Height Offset
	Some users were experiencing an incorrect height of the mapping window. 
	It's now possible to specify an offset value to compensate for such an 
	event. (Default is 35)

+Various other undocumented bugs have been fixed


[V1.0] - Initial Release

*Features*
----------	

-Skinnable Interface
	A full frontend to control Destinator is included. An example Destinator 
	2 style skin has been included called "Default". All functions of the SDK 
	can be accessed from the menus.

-Winamp Control
	Although not included in the example skin, Basic winamp functions (Next, 
	Prev, Pause) can be assigned to buttons on the toolbar. Winamp can also 
	auto-mute when a maneuver is approaching.

-On Screen Keyboard (OSK)
	An auto-displaying OSK is included for entering addresses. This is also 
	skinnable.

-Default Startup Mode
	It is possible to specify Destinators default startup mode (2D, 3D and
	Birds-Eye)

-Updated DestDLL
	A modified SDK library (Thanks, gnumike!) has been included that allows 
	maps of up to 50mb to be opened.

-Map Cutter
	Maps of 50mb or more can be cut down to size using this tool
