LOGFORFREE,

Keep in mind that NaviComputer was not meant to be a full navigational application such as Garmin, TomTom and similar. It is a GPS locational aid. Features are added as the developer can get to them. The Navi wish list has reached astronomical proportions. :) Issues are handled first and foremost, followed by really nice options, and then maybe a "wish" or two. All these things take time, and the Navi developer believes in getting it right the first time.

With each new revision, we all get a surprise! Glad you like the app. :)

Best wishes,

tippy

yahoo maps

Is possible configure to download yahoo maps or satellite images?

thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] logforfree:
For Yahoo, it was explained that for licenses reasons, it will not be included in mapsources.xml... Therefore, i don't know why but some version ago, it exists VirtualEarthSatellite in mapsources.xml like that (it disappears in newer version) :

<MapSource ID="VirtualEarthMap" Server="tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/" Version="321" Language="en"/>

<MapSource ID="VirtualEarthSatellite" Server="tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/" Version="321" Language="en"/>

<MapSource ID="VirtualEarthHybrid" Server="tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/" Version="321" Language="en"/>

Includes those lines in "C:\Program Files\NaviComputer\NaviMapper\MapSources.xml" and you will have more possibilities like satellite views and hybrid (satellite + names)

The latest program fails by throwing this exception:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
Missing Method Exception

It is not the application that has failed. This error indicates a failure of NetCompact Framework. NaviComputer requires version 3.5

If you DO have 3.5 installed, uninstall it, and reinstall.

This should solve the issue.

If not, then you can download a copy of NCF 3.5 here:

Hi QA, it still doesn't work after I reinstall NCF 3.5. Same error.

I've reinstalled Navicomputer and the problem is gone, even after I soft reset the device. Lets see how it goes after a few days usage.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
YTF,

I am sorry that your are having such an issue. Ok, if you installed a new copy of Net CF 3.5, then try to reinstall NaviComputer version 9.

If that does not correct the problem, then I will forward the information on to the developer (unless he reads this post first. ;) )

We'll get it working. Be patient for a bit longer. :D

Navi or Net CF issue?

Ah ! I see that our posts crossed. :D

Not sure why the issue was indeed caused by NaviComputer, but that is the way it turned out in your case. Normally, it is a corrupt Net CF, however, all is well now (I hope). Ok, maybe my faith in NaviComputer is being a bit over zealous, but what the heck. It's a great app! :)

Excellent application. Been looking for something exactly like this. I encourage all users to donate to keep the maintenance and development of this app forthcoming.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajocius:
Great app!

I have a question: Is it possible to use separate GPS device paired to mobile device running NaviComputer via bluetooth? I run it on HD2, which has inbuilt GPS device, but if I go cycling, I do not want to always keep device in open air. I would feel safer to keep it in my pocket, to do all data registering. Another small GPS antena can be attached to the steering wheel for example. If this option is already available, can you help me to find it?

Another questions, will it continue registering data if I hit Off button? I would like to do that to save baterry (screen), but it might as well turn off GPS antena or some other critical HW component...

Hi, wanted to know if they plan to make a version that works on computers with windowCE 5 / 6. there is a known option to install the current versions on these computers?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NaviComputer:
Yes, it is possible to use an external gps via bluetooth, but you need to set it up in the WM settings. Another user has written a howto regarding this topic: http://navicomputer.com/blog/?p=14

Also the app keeps recording tracks when the you switch it to standby to save battery. Unfortunately the HD2 seems to be the only device that can not keep the gps receiver powered on in standby. But since I do not own a HD2 I can not confirm this, I only heard it from another HD2 user.

At this time I do not plan anything in this direction... I do not even have a computer with windowsCE. What kind of computers are you talking about? What screen resolution? Have you tried to install it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phoenix2000:
I think i can answer that question: there are more and more car radios with GPS and touch screen panel (screen resolution up to 800x480), which are running WindowsCE.

I would also be interested by having NaviComputer installed on such a car radio.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] maraca:
Yes, i like run over winCE running on car gps radio 480x272 display.

Even better:

If you use gps mod driver

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=571266

with the latest beta version 1.63_4 (in post 956) you can have a bt gps receiver and you can give different prioritories to the different ports.

1st to a external bt receiver

2nd to msapi

3rd to com4 which is the standard com port for internal gps receiver on the HD2

Than you just switch on bt and schwupdiwup your application is getting the gps from bt receiver.

If you disconnect bt than you are going back to your internal gps device.

Very convinient.

I like this feature by using my HD2 in rental cars for navigation. In rental cars I do not have a fixture for the HD2 to it is laying between the front seats and gps reception is not always good, but with a bt gps receiver near the windchill it is not problem any more.

This is also why I was asking to have in navicomputer a setting for the gps port to be able to use gps mod driver without changing the system.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NaviComputer:
Hi,

please check the map directory in the settings. It probably does not point to the folder where your .nmap files are located.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] w_chisum:
no. it does not work. i already tried it more times.

the path is "\Speicherkarte\NaviComputer\Maps" that's on my SD-card. maybe that's a problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NaviComputer:
no, that's no problem. What files do you have in the map folder? What about the SampleMap file? Can you see the map?? Maybe you should reinstall the application...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] w_chisum:
in the list are no files. in the folder are two downloaded (with navimapper) nmap files and the sample file.

do you store some pathes/values in the registry or why can it be neccessary to reinstall the app?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NaviComputer:
No, there is nothing in the registry. You can try to delete the config file (settings.config) to reset the settings. Also you can try to remove your downloaded map files and only keep the sample, maybe one of the map files is corrupt. If both does not help, reinstall the application. A bad or missing .dll file could also cause the issue ( I don't know why a file should get lost, but...who knows...) The only thing I can guarantee is that it's not a NaviComputer bug:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] w_chisum:
no. does not work. i removed the settings file, the 2 downloaded nmpa files and i reinstalled the app. result -> no map files are listed on the "maps tab".

my winmo phone: htc touch cruise (windows mobile 6 professional, ce os 5.2.1623 build 18129.0.4.5)

and also the exception occured if i check the "online mode" menu item....

maybe can you add some debugging/logging functions to your app and i can send you the debug output/log file?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NaviComputer:
Yes, the exception occurs when there is no nmap file in the map directory and you switch to online mode, that's "normal" (I have however fixed it for the next version). But if you have maps in the folder which you have chosen in the settings dialog and NaviComputer does not see them, there must be something wrong with your device. Maybe it blocks access to the map files or to one of the .dll files. Have you tried to install the app somewhere else (main storage)? Or at least put the maps in another folder?

questions/remarks/feature requests/wishes

Hi,

First off all my apprecation for this great peace of software.

I installed it a week ago and am testing it right now on an HD2

I tried to find answers to a lot of my questions in the previous posts (over 750 already), and a lot of them are answered, but I still have some questions/remarks/feature requests/wishes. Maybe they are already answered, and I missed them, So sorry for any duplicate remarks

BTW If you want help for translating in dutch, please contact me.

Please keep in mind I am using an HD2 so some of them are not relevant to all users.

So here are my questions/remarks/feature requests

- When using the program with activated GPS, and online maps, automatically the map follows the gps position, and a new map is downloaded. But when I download all the maps before I start to navigate, the maps does not change, and does not follow the gps position. I have to whipe the screen manually to change the map. Is this a know feature/bug or is this not working on my device?

- I used the program to make a gpx track, and used the online maps on level 17, during the drive I noticed at least 15 downloads of the tiles of the maps. But when I start to look back at the track later in offline mode, no map is found, but the map was already downloaded on my ppc so it should be somewhere in the cache.

Is it possible to save maps you download during online navigation?

- In the main menu - options you can select "Keep Device Always on" it does not work on my machine.

I am using both s2u2 and bsbtweaks, but I can not find a possiblity to keep the device on.

- GPX track: save a recorded track - Filename, default a number (=date), I always change it to a readable name, so please make all the numbers by default selected, makes it a lot easier to change the number to something else.

- GPX track: save a recorded track - Trackpoint Intervall, since the HD2 is not using a styles dropdown lists are difficult to select. changing the Trackpoint intervall can be difficult.

I think your program is great, so please keep up the good work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
Questions/Issues/ More Questions and Wishes

Firstly, the HD2 has some querks that as yet have no solution. I am sure that somewhere in the 750 posts or on the NaviComputer website blog:

http://navicomputer.com, you will find your answers. However, we are here to help you, so fire away! :D

I am sure that the developer will appreciate another language for NaviComputer and Mapper. You can send him an IM here:

http://xdaforums.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=2137156

So here are my questions/remarks/feature requests

It is not a feature nor bug. The nmaps are downloaded to the device in the online mode (Download Maps). Once this is done, you no longer need the internet or data connection. Make sure that the maps you downloaded appear in the MAPS folder in the root of NaviComputer (or wherever in the device you set the options for storing the map files). If the internal GPS is not functioning properly, it will loose your location, and not recall the proper map.

Again, when you say "no maps were found", did you look in the MAPS folder?

or are you saying that the map did not display?

The nmap file should appear in the locaton on the device to which you set the options.

Where are you saving the maps?....to the device memory or storage card.

Some users have reported that they have difficulty when the app and storage location for the maps are different. Try keeping Navi and maps together on either the device or storage card. See if that helps.

Navi is designed to do exactly that. It seems that your "issues" are of the same origin. The device is may not be storing the maps, and therefore the app cannot recall them when needed.

Yes, it is the HD2. Most devices have no trouble with the option to "Keep device always on' except HD2. For some reason, the GPS shuts down when the device enters sleep or power save mode. Thus far, the developer has not arrived at a solution for this issue. Some users reported success when they used S2U2, but apparently not on your device.

Ok, will put these on the extremely LONG Wish List: :D

- GPX track: save a recorded track - Filename, default a number (=date), I always change it to a readable name, so please make all the numbers by default selected, makes it a lot easier to change the number to something else.

- GPX track: save a recorded track - Trackpoint Intervall, since the HD2 is not using a styles dropdown lists are difficult to select. changing the Trackpoint intervall can be difficult.

I am sure the developer appreciates your kind words.

Next time....

please try to break up your questions/comments and issues into more than one post spaced over time.

My fingers get tired and I am not paid by the word. :)

tippy

I had this same condition and my comment was also dismissed. The fact that we both had the same result indicates a program bug.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NaviComputer:
How about checking the "Center GPS Position" feature as described in the help file as well as in the FAQ (http://navicomputer.com/FAQ.php#_Toc251185269

Please kindly read before reporting bugs that do not exist. I am not asking you to read the whole thread here but I am asking you to take a look at the FAQ and the help file. That's not really too much, is it? :)

Please note that maps are not automatically downloaded in online mode. I do not want to flood your memory with thousands of single map tiles. You need to download a map as .nmap file manually with the "download map" feature. The normal use case is that you download the map of the desired area before going for the trip (e.g. when you have a WLAN connection or with NaviMapper on the PC)

I hope this helps
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] man_rot:
I tested it and you are correct.

I checked with both openstreetmap and virtual earth.

In the offline mode it is nice to see the map switching automatically from earth to openstreet when there is no earth map anymore

The confusion thing was, it worked and than it did not, as you describe in the faq "As soon as you manually scroll the map, this option will get unchecked automatically"

One accidental 'wipe' of the screen, and it does not work anymore.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] man_rot:
automatically download maps

Sounds fair, but an option to store the downloaded maps would be nice. maybe in a separate folder, so when leaving the application the user can choose to keep the maps or not??

Now when you are in the field, and did not downloaded the correct level, you get double charges one for downloading during the trip, and one for reviewing the trip.

my storage card is 6gb, so before this one is full....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] w_chisum:
i have installed the app on the internal memory -> same problem: no maps in the list.

maybe a hint: another exception ("pinvoke-dll SQLite.Interop.065.DLL wurde nicht gefunden" = not found ") occured after i tried to add a POI. but if i look in the navicomputer folder i can see the SQLite.Interop.065.DLL
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rim1Flex:
Works good, downloaded maps fine. Its easy as eating pie:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stefanclark:
I see this as a key missing feature. maybe a setting to change the cache size, so you can choose to store xMB or x tiles before overwriting old ones.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
Visual Studio

This error indicates missing or corrputed dll files within the Visual Studio application. These dlls are not automatically loaded by Windows, but are added to the emulator program during development.

I am sure the developer will jump in should my advice not be correct, but I would go ahead and try two things:

1. REinstall NaviComputer to the device (this is the easiest and safest)

2. If the same error is shown, then try to install a new copy of VS to the device.

You can find complete instructions and the download link here.

hi,

it doesn't work. I use previous NaviMapper version to create Hybrid map file, put it in Maps folder, then change mapsources.xml. However, there is only 1 map type active: OpenStreetmap.

Do you really view the hybrid map on your ppc?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] w_chisum:
thank you for your help, but i already tried 1. (on the internal memory, on my sd-card and with an older version 0.9) => same error.

the sqlite-dll files aren't corrupt because i downloaded testce (from the sqlite project) and ran the testce.exe test programm in the navicomputer folder.

anybody out there who has an htc touch cruise alias polar with or without my "no maps in the list" problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NaviComputer:
Ok, now it is obvious that there is a problem with SQLite dll files. Not only the file "SQLite.Interop.065.DLL" but also the file "System.Data.SQLite.dll" must be in your NaviComputer directory. Is it there? Unfortunately I do not really have an idea what could block the access to those files on your device. Have you tried to download them directly from the SQLite project and copy them to your device manually? Or maybe re-download the setup from http://navicomputer.com. I cannot really imagine that a corrupt download causes this behaviour..but who knows...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] w_chisum:
The "System.Data.SQLite.dll" and the "SQLite.Interop.065.DLL" files are correct, because (see alos my post above) i used the testce.exe from the sqlite project to verify them.

another test: i renamed the "System.Data.SQLite.dll" to "xSystem.Data.SQLite.dll" and tried to start navicomputer.exe => exception MissingMethodException that means navicomputer finds the "System.Data.SQLite.dll" on startup.

@navicomputer: how do you search for the maps? do you look in the directory and than do you open the database file (alias nmap file)? maybe you can put these functions in a test program?

EDIT: i also tried an older version (0.90) of navicomputer from rapidshare with the same result => "Interop... not found"

HD2 Issues

Very peculiar. It is obvious that NaviComputer finds the Sq dlls on startup, but for some reason the device does not load them so that they can be used.

Sqlite.dll errors are caused in one way or another by misconfigured system files.

So, If you got Sqlite.dll error then there is a 94% chance that your computer has registry problems. I don't know of any Sqlite repair tool for ppc, but I will look to see if there is one available.

Sorry, but I have no other ideas on the issue at the moment.
