#3 - The map screen seems to pulsate constantly (the street names and labels disappear and reappear constantly). This may just be the screen refreshing, but it is very pronounced and appears much smoother if using the map in Mappoint.

"ditto". I finally got a lock with my GPS mouse today (it's a cheap one) and was able to actually see the MapPoint interface work.

Also...

Altitude units are in Meters
No voice prompts
Doesn't save addresses after entering and letting MapPoint compute a route
No Turn-by-Turn or anything more than an overview display
POI takes _FOREVER_ to load. I let it sit for (a real) 10 minutes before I finally gave up.

Strange. I get an altitude reading (though it does not ever change...it is also in Meters).

I also have no voice prompts, turn-by-turn, etc. I am sure David said he was going to address these issues later. I think he threw in the MapPoint plug-in last minute and really has not worked on any features yet.

I did figure out how to fix the prompt to save map info though (seen when you try to exit CF). I opened MapPoint by itself, went into options, and un-checked the "auto-save prompt". Now at least CF will exit normally.

DOH! I almost forgot. When the computer comes out of hibernation, it does not re-connect with the GPS. I know this is not a hardware limitation becuase when I use Co-Pilot it reconnects just fine.

The MapPoint is just an initial release with source code...

The main point was to add the ability to the SDK to include new navigation engines...

I have fixed the map detection issue and it will be in the next update and I will update the source...

I then plan to get someone working on this plugin, taking feedback, and improving it to be a viable navigation option...

My bad! You're right, it's there.

Ditto.

Cool on the auto-save, I'll check that in MapPoint.

and, I'm noticing as I enter this that David responded.

I can appreciate the example, and it sure would be nice to have a completed plug-in. I haven't looked at the source, but I figure it's in C#?

It is in C#

'k... I'm in the code and have some questions. Would you rather I ask them on the Flux forum?

The first one's pretty basic - the project doesn't build right out of the box.

this has to be a simple reference issue and possibly a build location...

the code does compile, I opened it yesterday to fix the map detection issue...

you might wait until I get this update finished and post the new code that works without having both NA and Europe installed...

Cool.. I'm sure it's a reference issue of somesort. VisStud is complaining about not being able to find the namespaces:

... There's a total of 55 of 'em...

I'll wait for the update. Thanks David.

You just have to add a reference to the MapPoint 2006 object, also possibly remove and re-add the cfplugin reference...

You should expand the references and you will see some exclamation points where the reference is bad... Remove each one and right-click and add reference to add them back...

to add MapPoint 2006 you will see it in the reference list if it is installed... For cfplugin just browse to the location of cfplugin.dll from the SDK...
