Freedrive is getting to the point where I want to start adding new things now. Heres a couple of things that will be in the next release.

- Birds-eye view
- Mouse hide/show

Thinking about

- Sound on/off
- Speed Cameras
- Menu's skinable
- Some sort of communication so other apps can get info from freedrive
- Hotkeys
- Voice input
- Tracking
- Record and playback
- Intergrated traffic infomation, via gprs and xml files

any other ideas ?

I'll take care of the voice input part if provided by a good SDK

i like the possibility to save a location on the fly and add a comment to the spot by microphone. If you then pass the location later the recorded message is played!

Don't know about the comment part, but I'll add a save location command

The ability to execute programs dependant on location?? i.e home, work, Wifi Point 1,2,3,4,5 etc

Ability to add Wifi Access Points on the fly for those of us with on-board wifi (a manual system)

nice idea, I support that

Hi fella, need some pointers on how to go about intergrating voice, as never played with it before.. as for saving position by voice. I've already added a save position button, that when pressed switchs you to a keyboard & textbox, you then either have the choice on typing a name for the location, or if you just click add, it will save the name as the address which is shown on the save page. :-) It then adds it to your Fav's list so its easy to recall.

Yeah like this idea.. dont think it would be to hard to do either, just a case of matching long / lat to stored values.. if the values match then do whatever. I think it would be a great idea to add Hotspots on the fly, without user action.. I will have a look into netstumbler. Would be kewl to be able to just look at the map and know where free hotspots were.

Very good, is it possible to edit the name later? In what file is it saved? What can I do with this possition later, can I connect a sound file to be played when I pass the point again? Do you see a logo on the map on the saved location?

Gobby · 02-20-2005, 03:54 PM

Or failing that, store the lat/long on a website for hotspots and download/upload details, I'll happily do the code to do it if necc.

why is there 50% in your signature? Freedrive seems rather developed alteady to me? What else can we expect, or should this 50% be updated

Yeah your Fav's icon appears where all the saved places are. Unsure if you can link sound to it. As for editing the name I can do this no probs. I only have a delete and go option at the mo. Its saved in Destinators 'My Favorites' POI file.

yeah thats a good idea. not saying it will be done tomorrow, but a great idea, and if I can do it I will.

re- 50% complete.. lol yeah might be nearly 60% now. I still got lots to do, I've just added birds eye view and hidemouse. I really want speed camera intergration.. that and sirf gps compatability is the next thing I want to do

may take a couple days break, see what other ideas appear

For voice output I'd go with SAPI5/6. It will basically read anything that you want. For my app, I have configurable voices, so I can ask if I want a female or a male voice.
But I was talking about voice input not output

CdRsKuLL · 02-20-2005, 04:10 PM

sorry yeah thats what I ment input not output. Would be nice to say 'save' then voice some text then say 'add' ..
