Need Testers for Mappoint embedded Navigation System

I think what he was referring to was to store a list of frequently used addresses like a history of addresses.

I am planning to put History and favorite places in the next future. But rite now I think it better to remove the bug before I move on to more features.

antimater:
I will download latest Media Car and test if I can reproduce the bug. Does it occur when you are moving ?. Tap and Hold should be possible through the Application let me try, I have got some idea.

BTW do you guys think there should be a fullscreen Map mode ?

OK. enough for today. off to bed. Cya guys on Sunday.

That's it :-) I think that's huge: if you can't save destinations and recall them at will, the value of the software is much degraded. Glad to hear it's up and coming.

So - the one million dollar question: what's your timetable like? When do you expect to have the next version available?

Thanks much!

If I can reproduce all the bugs on my PC On Sunday.Then should be a new version for download by Monday or tuesday.

Wow! That will include the history / favorites feature also?

**SilentAdmirer** · 04-01-2004, 05:06 PM

will try my best to include it . Can't promise but I want to have that feature too. The plan is to make it like a bookmark. So you can add the current location to the bookmark also in the setting window a button to add fav from search .

This happened when the car was at a stand still. Another thing to note if you are trying to recreat this bug is that in the MediaCar setup under the GPS tab you must provide a path to your application, make sure that the "run embedded" checkbox is checked and make sure the "additional search string" has the value *GPSdlt* <--what ever the name of the application is (the name the appears in the taskmanager). The search string allows MediaCar to find the correct application and embed it into MediaCar.

When it is propperly embedded you will see a "close" button and another button on the top right hand corner. The close button is where i am having the problem. This button actually terminates the application. The other button allows the application to run in the background while bringing you back to the MediaCar interface.

This embedding is really handy and I appriciate you looking into it. And thanks for looking into the tap and hold support. This will make it even easier to do searches.

Have a good Weekend,

Hiya, I've been testing some more through replaying routes to it, I've found that if you re-calculate the route when on a motorway, for some reason (I've tried this about 5 times) it tries to re-route me on 'local roads' - i.e. ones thats aren't on the motorway but next to it that I physically can't get to bar driving off the side of the motorway. Is this a bug with mappoint or this?
