Need Testers for Mappoint embedded Navigation System

**stevieg** · 04-04-2004, 03:59 PM

I'm trying to get it working on Windows 98 (on my spare car pc running 98lite). It works however it crashes and complains of 'server busy'. It always crashes after planning a route, I am guessing it is a problem with the speech stuff as it's not installed on the machine.

I'm downloading the speech SDK from the microsoft site in the hope that that fixes the problem, though I've chosen the 150 MB version to be on the safe side.

If it works after installing I'll let you know.

maybe i'm doing something wrong, but i cant get the program to run. Well, it runs, but i don't see the map. I only see the date and time. It looks like an empty box. I have everything in one folder (ini,dll) and i've edited the ini files to use the the american version of mappoint and use miles. Could it be that i need to set my display at a certain resolution?

any help would be appreicated.

thanks.

Can you tell us a little more about your operating system and hardware. Also what software do you have (mappoint 2002 or 2004)

It's a vprmatrix 220a5 laptop.
Mobile Pentium 4 2.20 Ghz
512 MB ram running
win XP, SP1
MapPoint N. America 2004

I will leave this up to SilentAdmirer. I have it running on Windows XP sp1 with Mappoint 2004 N America. Works like a charm. Maybe try reinstalling both Mappoint and the this application

@anitmatter
Sorry wasn't at home this weekend so could not do any thing.
@ozoffi
Coyote has given me the permission to use the pointer images from MediaCar till I make one and replace.In the next version the pointer will be the same like media car.
@stevieg
The reason is SAPI. It has to be installed before running the application.
Please let me know if it works
@suprthug8d
Do you have the skin directory with all the jpgs and skini.ini in
<AppDir>\skin\Radar. I think thats the problem you are facing

**suprthug8d** · 04-05-2004, 12:06 PM

Thanks! i got it to start up. I haven't tested the rest of the program, but at least it's working now.

I didn't know that there was a skin/radar folder within the skin folder i extracted. After i extracted the skin.zip file i just dragged that folder into the main folder without looking what was inside that folder.

Thank you for the help.

Has anyone heard of AGPS? that would be a great application to integrate with. It works as a plug-in for MP 2004, and i find it to be very useful.

I've tried using AGPS and found it useless with a touchscreen (and no keyboard) which is why I'm so glad to see this offering as an alternative!

**antimatter** · 04-05-2004, 12:26 PM

We all are glad. This is the goods right here!

@SilentAdmirer
No worries man just let me know and i am happy to help.

That is good to hear that you are working with Coyote.

**SilentAdmirer** · 04-05-2004, 12:28 PM

AGPS is a very nice program. But as stevieg said its not very useful when using it without keyboard and with touchscreen. BTW that's the addin that inspired me to try to make this application .
