I had a quick sneak into the RoadAngel's update program and it appears to retrieve it's data in a simple XML format. Unfortunately I don't own a RoadAngel and am not the sort of person to "test" their software to see how it works!

If somebody with a RoadAngel could run an update while logging the HTTP traffic using Ethereal it would be most useful:

I have a snooper S4, using ethereal I managed to intercept the latest file while it was being updated.

It makes no sense to me but I'm sure someone can work it out and format it correctly.

Hehehe quality - that can be manipulated fairly easily, I'll have to check B2 downloads as I have a subscription for my B2 unit anyway, so can then play around with the data - could then update the speed camera software to have directional data, speed limits etc etc and using very accurate data

I've done some updates to current one, calculations run a lot faster now and consume far less CPU time, plus a smaller 'footprint' on screen. I'll put it up for download in a bit if anyone wants it (ver 0.9b)

My snooper tells me the speed limit when i'm approaching a camera, it also won't alert me if it's on the other side of the road...so all that info must be in that file somewhere

Goto10

It sure is, what I mean is that it'll be better for me to develop it based on B2 data, because I can get the updates myself that way... (As I have a B2 subscription and not the Snooper)

What I really like about the snooper are the voice alerts telling you the speed limit / distance etc... Perhaps you could use the MS text-to-speech engine to incorporate this?

or even better - have the the option for the app to constantly output all the details to a file so we can write our own apps to deal with it (For example I'd want to have it mute winamp while it was talking)

It'd be great if I could replace all the functions of my snooper completely :-)

Done this a while ago using HTTPLook and spent a few hours sitting down doing radian/decimal calculators on the data converted from hex to no avail - feel free to give it ago.

Yeah, could hook up TTS easily for real time speech.
Writing to a file and another app reading said file, both in 'realtime' would be very messy - I could offer an IP connection? eg 'host' it on a localhost port(127.0.0.1:9999) and output keywords - that would be a much neater way of making it work with your apps (your app would simply connect via a winsock control and listen for events)

Ok - the 2nd revision is ready for download (0.95) - now includes various options (minimise to tray, start on load, port config save etc) a much improved calculation routine (less CPU load and faster running) and the ability to connect to it with your own application. (VB or otherwise, uses IP so is fairly universal)
VB demo code for how to connect to the application is at the bottom of the page.
Haven't tested it fully 'on the road' yet so there are bound to be a few bugs!


Next revision will include any bug fixes found here - speed display along with estimated time to camera (including time alerts, so can set it to trigger voice when 10 seconds away, rather than just distance option)

tested version 0,95. Same run time error n. 13 when i hit start button. If the db is loaded or not or the gps is connected or not, still same error 13. Can this be related to the use of a non english verion of WinXP?

Goto10

Hmmm interesting, any other information with the runtime error?

Could you download this one for me and put it in the same folder as the main files you already have - then run debug.exe amd hit 'start' again, and tell me what messages it flags before crashing, will help me pinpoint where it's going wrong.

Wow!
Excellent app, just what I've been waiting for. Cant wait to test it tonight. This will be so cool when driving with friends.

No messages... when i connect gps it correctly receives gps string, i load db with no errors but when i hit start i receive error 13 and no other message. The onlyu infos i can send are those of ms win error windows (i don't know if it is useful or not):
