This is still experimental but I was playing with making key data more visible, for now just the heading (Compass), Speed and directions table. This is very much a prototype but if anyone wants to give it a whirl I'll try and get it hosted on ftp tomorrow. Only real odd thing is the Destinator menu keeps repainting.
You have to have Destinator installed for this to work, it is an SDK app, not Destinator itself.
Any thoughts, comments, constructive criticism welcome. I plan to add ETA next.

VERY NICE!!
I presume that the speed will detect whether it is set to miles kilometers? If not...let me know and i'll send you some code
How about some code to make it skinnable?

Well this is a prototype... encapsulating the Destinator app was kind of funky and it seems to have some menu painting issues still. In an ideal world I wanted to write an app that didn't host Destinator but connected to a running copy, the SDK didn't seem keen on allowing that though.Originally Posted by Confused

This will be an evolution, at the moment MPH is hard-coded as it was a proof of concept, I'll pull the chosen units and recalculate as appropriate - eventually.
I want to add the ETA and clean up the code that refreshes the maneuver list too, for now I just focussed on making sure I could get the data I wanted.
Lots to do... as for it being skinable I'll have to think on that, nice idea, never done it before.. so hopefully maybe all being well... one day!

Ugghh.... calling any SDK developers...
GetRouteInfo seems to always return the entire route, the time value is not an ETA but the time for the whole route. Similarly GetManeuverInfo lists the Maneuvers for the whole route but is not updated as you proceed through the route.
It appears you can only tell where you are with the cars current LAT/LON, not much use for reconciling against the directions.
Anyone know how to find out how fat along the route you are? Or, if not, how to recalculate the route from the current position... I suppose I could select the last destination in History and regenerate, it's a lot of hassle though...

Hey Chris,
Cool idea.. I was wondering if it would be possible to launch multiple instances of Destinator from the SDK and window one in 3D and the other in overhead.. You would prob need an app like Comfoolery or something and it may take alot of CPU on slower machines, but it'd be neat to have a small picture-in-picture view in 3D..

It would appear that you can only have one instance. Destinator is very frustrating, mainly because it does not update the maneuvers so you can see the route but not where you are in that route. The only alternative I have found is to keep recalculating very often which is a bit too intensive.
