My Navigator 2 App - Ended Before Its Started ?

I've spent thye last few days getting to grips with the basics of programming and the SDK and its seems that C++ is the most supported with VB needing the supplied interface to work. Even so I'm not sure it will do all I want and at its current price other CarPCer's are really not that intrested which in effect makes the whole project pretty unviable. Its a shame.... may be NavigatoR 3 will be better which I'm hoping will have some of the newer features such as lane changing directions that its PPC or PNA systems are getting.

Its not been helped either by the release of Directions Navigator 7 and the fact that Destinator 6 now seems to be runnable too ( only legal way is for you to buy Centrafuse ). So I'm left with the sad fact that there is still no ideal GPS system out there and the masses are still going with 'what can be made to work' rather than 'what does' off the shelf.

NavigatoR 2 - Application Development Thread - Contributions Welcome

NavigatoR 2 is defo the best app I have tried so far how ever its lacking in some areas and I'd like to see more users in the CarPC community too... only this way will Navigon develop it further and add better features etc.

So as of today I've decided to take a great leap and start to develope some thing with the community by starting a new thread and sharing only the SDK documentation ONLY.

For those that want to read my review on NavigatoR 2 go here http://www.digital-car.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=6539. And for those of you that want to buy it ( and I highly recomend you do ) go here http://www.cartft.com/catalog/il/767.
