Guino,

The new sdk with labels is really useful, have just integrated my USB Media Transfer program to allow it to place labels on the screen ... anyway of bring custom icons or showing the certain parts of the _ON skin??

Any chance of doing the same but able to pull information back from RR?? i.e labels etc for Track Information, remaining track time etc .... would allow people to create 'plugins' for RR for LCD displays etc and pocketpc remotes ...

Hmm...with the ability to use the sendkeys functions, it should be too hard to use FMA ( folat's mobile agent ) for bluetooth phone app. It just needs a touchscreen friendly interface.

I only had about 5 minutes to mess with it this morning. I'm not sure how to create a route. I can add the destination but I can't figure out how to create the create the route.

Many of screens for this destination entry are messed up. Text boxes don't appear until I pass my mouse over the box location. I'll try to send screenshots this evening.

Other than that it's coming along nicely with MapPoint. I'll play with it tonight and write something more detailed.

Can you make me a log file ? I have tested it here and found no problem, please also tell me which Radio tuner you have and if you reset the radio card or not before using it.

2. not sure if this is a mistake on my part but if i select do not use id3 tag in rrconfig, the tile of the artist doesn't show up only the title of the songs are display in music player and browser. same effect in video player/browser.

When you disable ID3 support it simply disables ID3 support altogether, meaning the TAGXXXX codes are useless.. When not using ID3 tags the "Playlist" label code will have the folder name of the songs you've selected (in most cases this is the artist name).

If the built-in player doesn't play a file, it's likely you need some sort of codec/filter to play that file.

No.. when sending keys, RR will get focus (when you press the button), but then immediately before sending the keys, RR returns focus to wherever you were in the application, and pulls back the focus to itself, in order to allow keyboard handling to work in the main application (RR).

I can easily allow for creating custom indicators.

Pull back info from RR is on my to-do list, but you'll most likely need to implement COM hooks in your side of the application like RR does.. I'll make sure to change the SDK example to include this when ready.. I just need to re-arrange the code that processes labels updates.

To Create a Route

With a GPS Lock:
1-Click Route Planning, Add, enter address, hit Search
2-Highlight location and hit select
3-exit the plannig screen, click "route" and "calculate"

Without GPS Lock the procedure is the same except you have to do 1 and 2 above TWICE so you have two addresses in there.

I have seen a few issues with the re-drawing of the gps_location screen, this seems caused by mappoint's "lag".. I'll add some prevention against that..

Gobby · 03-30-2005, 02:07 PM

Excellent, thanks Guino - BIG Smiley face from me .... you will open RR wide open then to allow plugins etc.

Could you possibly provide a .bas file to add to a vb app to call the hooks etc? Or at least an example once its done ... appreciate your work.

I've done a test I copied the maps from MS autoroute 2005 to Map Point because it's newer map for the euroupean maps what I know. And it works great. The Map Point is from 2004. I don't have the possibility to test in my car so far but I do it tomorrow.

BTW Great job Guino.

Chita79 · 03-30-2005, 03:03 PM

i wonder when Map Point 2006 is coming out?

vortex · 03-30-2005, 04:16 PM

maybe in 2006

albert · 03-30-2005, 04:17 PM

Guino great work!!
