Carputer And Sat Nav

[bonza]

where are you guys sourcing Destinator 3 from? From what I can gather to use Map Monkey as your sat nav solution you need the SDK & registered maps from Destinator 3 to get it to work?

Does destinator have the ability 2 do what Goops does? I.e. track where you've been and log the gps data into .kml files so that you can import it into google earth + show the changing speed of preeecious in the track line???

I've got several programs running on my Navman atm to achieve this but cant get the speed line to show.

Atm ive got a program called GPSGate which takes the incoming GPS data and maps it to a virtual port so I can run multiple applications at once that need the GPS data. So I run SmartST - came with the Navman - awesom navigation program! + run GPS2GoogleEarth which just logs the GPS data and exports it to .kml files I can import into Google Earth - that's all easy to do except the data I get doesnt include the speed data. All I get is a solid line - want that speed line lika Panda has in his origional pics!!!

Panda - could you do me a favour and send me your .kml file from Goops so I can make sure my google earth isnt the problem?

I don't think so. Destinator tells you where to go, and Goops tells you where you've been.

The limitation is probably the Navman (or more precisely the software limitations because of the hardware limitations)

Since I installed Destinator, I no longer use Goops, but I did make a ghost of my carputer a while back, will see if I can find it for you

I know Navman supports speed cause SmartST has a speed alert option. Just a matter of finding the right program that'll export the correct data to google earth so it'll show it. But I think Goops is using some kind of customer plugin to get that speed line to show - no other application ive found has it.

That'd be awesom if u could find your goops data - just so I can make sure that google earth will actually show me the speed line if its given the right input

But you're not using Goops are you? Didn't you say in a previous post that you are using GPS to Google Earth, not Goops?

Mapmonkey is expensive isnt it? All of the proper software ones are. GOOPS isnt but it doesnt tell you where to turn etc.

PS Im building a carbook project ill post it all up when its done. This is a carputer but with a notebook instead of std atx based system.

Map Monkey is free afaik.

You can download I from - HERE

All you need is the maps for it then...
