Thread: How to Embed any GPS program into Road Runner

I think one link is good enough to go to a page that has detailed information for the software. Preferably the manufacturers site. Then you can compare features and such. If you then decide on one, you can easily google different stores that carry the software and shop around.

The other option is to have multiple links for each one, and then try to decide what links to include or not include...

For instance, if you like I can give you probably 100 links where you can buy Map Point, Streets & Trips or iGuidance easily

I think a chart to compare GPS programs easily would be extremely handy. Such as listing features that each has, such as Text to speech, 3D View, Voice Activated ect ect... (GPS Programs across the top, and features down the left, and X's in the columns for features for each one.

Just not sure how to do that in the forums, as some sort of table would be needed.

Here are a couple that were overlooked, and probably for good reason, as they are not really touch screen friendly, though Map Point is supported at the heart of RR, and has many skins to make it much more usable in the car.

MapPoint
Product Home Page: http://www.microsoft.com/mappoint/pr...6/default.mspx

Embedding Details:
GPS Path:C:\Program Files\Microsoft Mappoint\Mappoint.exe
GPS Window Name: Mappoint

;Map - Microsoft Streets & Trips"

Streets & Trips

Product Home Page: http://www.microsoft.com/streets/Pro...s.aspx?pid=004

Embedding Details:
GPS Path:C:\Program Files\Microsoft Streets and Trips\Streets.exe
GPS Window Name: Map - Microsoft Streets & Trips
NOTE: Some version use the window title of: (The AND spelled out) Map - Microsoft Streets and Trips

I think it's.....!attachanalyser!Classic Specturm Analyzer
at least that's what i use and i have never had an issue.

OK John, the list is now revised

so i guess it is safe to say now that Garmin Mobile PC is now fully embedded into Road Runner?
