I also posted 1.0.9.8 and the Weather 2.0 digi mod These are available here

I will take these links down once Chuck is up and running again. Note: it's only 768KB down, but it should work for you. Let me know if it doesn't.

Cool. I guess Chuck is ok with it. He's been here a couple of times and hasn't said anything.

For the next few days, you shall be known as "froalwiki"

Unfortunately I didnt code the gas price digimod to use rss feeds. I probably should have thought of that. The gas price mod works similar to the google poi by getting its data directly from the contents of a website. Only problem with this solution is that websites tend to change overtime. This means that I can no longer parse that data from the website to retrieve the gas price information.

I'll think of a different solution to this. But its not going to be anytime soon as time is not on my side.

Right...so every time they adjust something on the site the app breaks. I don't know off hand of any gas price XML feed. I also don't know if Google offers XML feeds for their stuff. I know Yahoo does so it might turn into a Yahoo POI feed instead. I don't have internet access in my car so ALL OF THIS IS FOR YOU PEOPLE!!!

And we appreciate it. You want money, you have to make the Visteon plugin.

And you know if you make this good enough, you might just decide to put internet in your car......so we are actually HELPING you create a more complete system. So be sure and thank US when you're done.

Microsoft Live Local and Yahoo! both now have XML based web services that can be used for location lookup. These were not available when the Google POI DigitalMod was first made.

Nice...I'm actually getting close on the google POI. They changed the html being returned. I'll look into switching it to XML.

How do I create a copy of a project and call it something different. I would like to take the weather mod and save it as something else...
