WHAAT ?

Did I missed something ??? - Microsoft Office and many other programms reveal their internal functionality as a COM component to other programms - So If I sell "my programm(which accesses COM)" my users also have to buy Office (a normal license!!!) - so its in interest of Microsoft to offer a COM Interface !

David:
do you have to pay something for the COM Object (per Client which uses it) ?
(anything additional to the normal GUI Destinator License)
If yes I will let the guys at Destinator what my opinion about that is .
(expect the 50 Euros for the SDK Docs and registration)

FYI:
The Destinator SDK that Centrafuse utilizes for navigation was specially developed hand-in-hand with Destinator engineers, and is much more than just a glorified COM object. For this reason, the cost of the SDK licenses are actually higher than the normal 'retail' (or GUI) version of Destinator. The maps are incompatible because the Destinator retail version is not the same product as the SDK. Destinator does not offer a solution that encompasses navigation and entertainment, that's where we come in.
