CNS Maestro II now FREE / MAESTRO PRO is on the way - Page 2

DJSmiley · 01-25-2005, 10:16 AM

Going to test it later tonight.. Made a (dutch) mirror too, since i was getting only 70k/sec from the fastest server I could find.

http://www.xs4all.nl/~mozteke/maestro_e_2004.zip

(XS4All, The Netherlands, just tested it and got about 4Mb/sec, but file too small to test it ok)

The screenshots do look very good, and it looks like its perfec for lazy ppl like me who want to have it all, without having to take care about all kind of programs and frontends.

I'm sure i'm going to test it, and let my experiences know with it.

the only thing that actually is a bit innovative is the os independency...the rest is downloadable...

Hi guys,

About the problem starting the application....

Please check that your systems match the minimum system requirements.
You need:
Windows XP Professional SP1 or SP2
Direct X 9.0b
Windows Media Player 9
.Net Framework 1.1

If the problem still occures, please send a copy of your config file (maestro.exe.config) located in your Maestro folder (usualy C:\Program Files\CNS Inc\CNS Maestro) to support@cns.bg

br,
Svetoslav

does it work with wmp10 ?

Svetoslav · 01-26-2005, 07:16 AM

Yes, it works. You can use WMP 9 or 10 with Maestro, but we recomend WMP9 for maximum compatibility.

Yup i have all of those, except WMP is v10 not 9

mpattonm · 01-26-2005, 07:33 AM

I wonder how announced OS independancy will be maintained considering wide range of hardware everyone is using. I would not wonder if CNS would support only specific HW...
BTW this Maestro .NET dependancy is deadly.

Please check your .Net Framework version. Must be 1.1 (not 1.0 or 2.0beta)

Dj_Aleks · 01-26-2005, 08:05 AM

well since centrafuse uses the same .net version i´m pretty sure it´s the right one

And many more! Come back soon on www.cns.bg for more details.

Hi Svetoslav - Can't see a mention about GPS software... Any more info on the intergration of stock equipment.... what skins are there ( like a Vauxhall one ? )... and what min hardware spec do you need ? Lastly any more info and the boot direct function ?
I ran the version you gave me on a Via 800 and found it to be slow which is why I am asking.

Thanks

Hi Terran,

About the Maestro PRO:
All the hardware in the vehicle witch use communication protocols like IP BUS, I-BUS, etc., may be utilized in many ways, including integrated GPS hardware.

About Maestro II:
We tested the software on similar system (with 512MB RAM) and there where no "speed" problem

vw_freak · 01-26-2005, 10:37 AM

@svetoslav

can I integrate one other navigation software?
support for nokia 6230?

the first impression - maestro pleases me very well, I will test it in the car next time.
