Clue is in the above statement by the seller.

IOW : No.

Destinator comes in two flavours, one for PDA and one for PC's, and they are mutually exclusive.

However the SDK works for either PDA or PC, and the PC install can be used with the PDA maps.

use the

button and you may discover more.

Didnt I hear that they were going to stop making the version of Destinator for PC?

so the sdk version just needs the maps and then you can use it as gps

copilot live 7 is good but do they make it for the UK

Yes.

make sure you get version 2 maps, otherwise your routing will not work

if they decide to can D3, why can't they just release the SDK and have someone else program it for them? They can still sell the D3 maps and people will buy them anyway.

i am a newbie to this so this sdk program do i just download it and install it then install the maps and then it should work?

antimatter · 07-09-2004, 01:01 PM

basically yes... I would steer you away from destinator though. It is not good for long journys becasue you have to change maps.....LAME

markc04 · 07-09-2004, 01:23 PM

no i am in the uk so i should not need to change maps

antimatter · 07-09-2004, 01:52 PM

Is it just 1 map for the UK? I know the US has like 50

Enforcer · 07-09-2004, 02:09 PM

UK version 2 has 5/6 maps. Version 3 for the PDA's is just 1

nl4jy · 07-09-2004, 03:07 PM

let's tell them to just release the SDK for D3 then...that way, they don't have to spend all this time programming D3 for laptops...we'll all do it for free...and all they have to do is continue selling D3 maps....What do you guys think? would they willing to listen?
