Thread: Looking for Beta-Tester : Destinator Based

Hi everyone,

I am developing a front-end based on Destinator, and looking for some beta-testers.

WHATS NEW:

the main question: what is new in this front-end that the others. To put it simply, the most obvious difference is the Route Planner. Anyone who has used AutoRoute/MapPoint would agree how simple it is to plot a waypoint compared to the Destinator method. I also found Destinator a bit cumbersome when it comes to moving points (perhaps I wasn't looking at the right place) : thus CarJatra was born.

shows the program as it stands; note: the software is skin-based, and for the main window, most buttons can be placed at any locations.

RoutePlanner It also shows adding a point; as you will see, you can search on street, city and postcode simultaneously. In the example, it returned me all the matches found for Street starting with "haven" and with PostCode starting with "LS"
once added, it will appear on RoutePlanner window; you can also move the points up/down : or remove a waypoint.

supports multiple state buttons: for example the view is set to 3D and so does the View button (6th button from left at bottom); clicking the view button would change destinator view, and would also change the button image.

Managing Trips are not easy in destinator; in most cases, you can only rename some info, but not change the actual location. Not any more: with CarJatra, you can add/edit/delete all trips/ favourites and whatever else I might have missed.


I would say about 30% of the software is done;

will also include:
- speed camera alerts
- skin support
- any reasonable request

so if you are interested, let me know.

regards
Rana
