Well, they said it was legal to release his software with the crippled SDK, so I guess so.

yeah me to, well lets home NM figures it out with powerloc, i know i would certainly pay for a goodworking and supported nm version, the only reason i didn't buy dest 2 or any other nav system is that they are al far to expensive (200-300 euro's is crazy) i just want the software, miomaps will do fine for me :P

UK Destinator 3 is £60. Europe version is £100

that is NOT expensive if you want Map monkey's features

GReeToZ · 01-27-2005, 01:49 PM

destinator 2 (for pc) is 250 euro without the reciever (destinator.nl)
destinator 3 for ppc 190 or 300 without reciever (destinator.nl)

that's a lot of money for a student who has to pay everything himself

Edit: sorry I have writed something stupid here

I am happy to pay for Map Monkey as long as it is fair to everyone: NM, IPR owners & users.

I really hope all this legal stuff does not kill the project and the NM can continue his good work.

Is there anything we can do to help NM out of this mess? Could this issue stop the development?

I can only second this...

Ninja Monkey's Map Monkey frontend is the GPS solution I want to use...

I would gladly pay for Monkey Map...

I would gladly pay for the D3 maps...and intend doing so...

BUT...I would only want to buy the D3 UK maps...if powerloc allows Ninja Monkey to give us the option of loading the UK in one file!

I really can’t understand powerloc’s stance on this issue.

They could be in a prime situation here…by being one of the first GPS software companies to get a hold in the CarPC market.

This market is going to explode this year…

AND!!! Ninja is doing all the work for them….HE SHOULD BE ON THEIR PAYROLL!!!!

Maybe Ninja should just drop them…and look to an other company’s GPS solution.

Maybe there is a company out there with a similar product that would be more than glad to help us…and work actively with NM to profit them…and in turn solve our problem.

here is the answer monkey releases the dll crippled verison of the software and we download the old cracked dll from p2p software.

Tiz the fix if destinator don't like this sitaution then they get off there lazy asses and give us a PC version for which I paid many months ago and promised a PC version would follow for downloadfor but was never give.

ccsnet · 01-28-2005, 06:48 PM

Confused... is there a legal way to get Mapmonkey working as it should in such a way PL are happy ?
Would they be willing to may be make it available via there on line purchase system...
I'll buy it... just some one tell me how...

I agree !!

I am going to buy the maps legal, so I do not care if Powerloc likes what I do with it. They should be happy about getting some Money, doing nothing for it !
Ninja is responsible for my suggestion, buying Destuinator maps for more than 100€. Nobody else, Sop if they tell me They do not like what I do, NO PROBLEM !! Lets send the maps back, get my money and find another way, getting the same maps for free without supporting powerloc.

Same here that's why I bought mine. Just let them know why you've bought them.

One year ago I BOUGHT Destinator 2 with a Leadtek GPS receiver at destinator.nl for a rip-off price of 400 Euro. Just 1 month after I bought it, the PPC 3 version came out. So I asked them when the update for PC would come and they kept telling me "in a few months". An outright lie.

Now to hear them say "it doesn’t make any sense…" is outrageous! I take that as an insult. It did make sense for them to charge me hundreds of euro's for software they knew they were not going to continue. Why didn't they offer new maps for the D2 version? Because they don't care about their customers, they're just in it for the quick buck.

I say screw 'em, rob 'em and rip 'em. At least that's what I'm going to do. Get the maps, get the hacked dll, get whatever I can get my hands on to make it work. And stop acting this 'holyer than thou' crap on illegal software. A SDK is for developers who are developing apps to use with an OFFICIAL and paid for release!

Praise for you Ninja Monkey and thanks for all your hard work, they should offer you a job instead of bugging you about max. map size and what not.

And yes, you bet I'm ****ed off!
