TOMTOM Navigator for USA

Hi Folks,
I am currently using TTN3 with UK and MRE. It is using a TomTom Bluetooth GPS and all works great with no probs at all. I am going to the USA on business at the end of the month. Does anyone know a way I can use it with tomtom maps of the USA without having to buy TOMTOM Navigator USA, but instead add maps to the TTN3. I think it would be wrong if I had to purchase the whole application again just because I fly over the big pond to the states.

Would you like a copy of DeLorme street atlas, I have the handheld version and the pc/laptop version.
DeLorme, makers of Street Atlas USA announced XMap Handheld - Street Atlas USA - Edition, a complete mapping program for the entire U.S. that lets users bring detailed, up-to-date street-level maps and directions on either Pocket PC or Palm OS handhelds.
With most handheld mapping software, users need to plan routes on their desktop PC before they set out on their trip. XMap Handheld Street Atlas USA Edition's unique feature of creating and managing address-to-address routing directly on the PDA is easy, providing the added security of always having exactly the maps needed and allowing for last-minute changes on the road. The enclosed desktop CD, with maps of the entire U.S., lets the user decide what kind of maps and how much coverage area they want to bring on the handheld. The software shows the amount of memory for each map prior to downloading. Users simply load as many maps as they want directly on the handheld or removable storage cards, and then quickly find directions and phone numbers to local restaurants, hotels, and much more.
XMap Handheld Street Atlas USA Edition provides detailed vector-based maps so users can search for their address book contacts, place names, streets, cities, or choose from categories including 4 million places of interest including hotels, ATMs, restaurants, gas stations, attractions, and more, most with phone numbers. Enter start and finish points on the map and the software automatically calculates the quickest or shortest route and displays a detailed map or written directions.

that would be great if you could. please send me the details and i will get in touch.

Just send pm.

Hi there. I have sent you a PM (i think) are we any further along in solving this one..

I need your details for posting.

Sirius on T-Mobile Wing

I've had my Wing for about a week now. I'm trying to read up on some of the things you can do on it. I came across a post that mentioned being able to listen XM radio on the wing so I was wondering if there was a similar application for Sirius radio. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Hello and Welcome to the forums.
If you want to listen to Sirius Radio, I searched around my computer and came across Resco Pocket Explorer.
You can add URL's to play your favorite radio station.
In the included cab file is the Resco Pocket Radio. It's Multilanguage and a 31-day Trail.
See if you can work something out with this.
And Again, Welcome!

Yeh, if anyone knows a way to get sirius up and running it would be great ive been looking for a cab to do this as well!

Go to your Internet Explorer and search for the URL when you play the online feature.
Make a new Broadcast something on Resco, and copy the URL to the address line.
I think that should work. If not, Post a reply here and i'll do some research for you.

I havent done any testing yet, but i know sirius requires log in and the input of characters to log on so i dont think its like normal internet radio stations. also paying for apps is kinda wack =/

another good app to use for Sirius is SelectRadio v4.0.2. I have it and it works good by just logging in with my user name and password for the account I have. Unfortunately the SelectRadio v4.0.2 is only a trial for 10 days.

hey guys i got it answered look in here
its completely free and its a lifesaver for when im at work

Sirius Radio on HTC Touch
Hello everyone; my first post!
I just wanted to add to this subject for new viewers inquiring about Sirius Radio for their pocket pc phone. (Sorry so long...)
I have the HTC Touch gsm unlocked version on the AT&T network (wm6). I went onto this forum from my desktop computer and found the thread by "ilikepu" with a link to the Sirius cab. I put the site address into my phones browser. Once I located the thread on my phone, I downloaded & installed the cab file directly from the site. Once I opened the file, I went to the settings and entered my user name & password (I currently have an account with Full access to Sirius in my Truck. Sirius gives you free internet access with the account, but with limited channels); this cab uses the web access. Then I clicked save, and began streaming a channel flawlessly. I had about 3 bars on my signal strength. I did not check the box for Use TCPMP. It used the windows media player just fine.
The only thing that's needed is internet access (w/data plan), & an account with Sirius. It's Not Free!

[APP][UPDATED Oct 9 2008] XChange R8 currency convertor

Hi guys,
I must admit that I didn’t write software for a few years, and this is my first attempt after a long break – so please be gentle…
Xchange R8 is a simple currency convertor. You can choose 3 currencies to be displayed and for the time being you have two WebServices available: Bank of Romania (for my Romanian friends) and Bank of England (for my other friends). Bank of England currency are accessed via the Export Technologies WebService.
You need of course an Internet connection.
For Bank of Romania you can choose to see the currencies as they were at a certain date. Before you ask, chosing a date in the future will alas not work. The Export Technologies service does not have this function though, and when working with the Bank of England this choice will be unavailable.
The program remembers the last downloaded values for each service.
Please note that the Export Technologies service (for Bank of England) is slow – an update can take up to a minute. There’s nothing I can do about that.
I wrote this program initially for myself, as I often needed to know the currency rates and this is much faster than navigating from the browser. Then I saw somebody on this forum asking about such a program. While I’m sure better solutions can be found, I had a lot of fun writing this. Besides, it’s free!
I’m totally willing to add other WebServices to the list if you can provide me with their address.
Please note that I can only work on this during weekends: I have a company to run and it takes almost all my time.
Another note: .NET 3.5 framework is required.
UPDATE: v 1.1:
Added Bank of Hungary web service
Corrected a bug in the calendar: when first opened it always went to a day in July. Now it defaults to today.
Notes: Bank of Hungary does not update the service daily. Therefore, after you press Download, you may see a different date than today appearing at the top: this is the date of the last update. Furthermore, because of this, when you use the calendar to choose a date, you may get the message "No data available for the chosen date!". Simply choose another date. Hint: they don't update during weekends.
UPDATE 21/08/08 v 1.2
Added Invert function for those who prefer to see the exchange course mirrored. For example, if before you saw 1 GBP = 2 USD, after Invert you'll see 1 USD = 0.5 GBP.
Added calculator. For pic see next post.
UPDATE Oct 9 2008 v 2.0
You can now convert from EUR to USD and actually whatever you want from a list of 150 currencies. Choose Webservicex from Options -> Currencies.
Please note that this service is updating all the time, so values taken at a few minutes apart can vary slightly. This may actually be a good thing if you want to feel the pulse of the market in these stressed times.
One problem with Webservicex (affecting only Romanians as far as I can tell): it only contains the old currency (ROL) and it always returns zero. I don't see this as real trouble, as you can always use the Bank of Romania service.

Pic for the calculator:

I definitely would. However, I need what is called a WebService, like http://www.exporttechnologies.com/webservices/currencyservice/currencyservice.asmx?WSDL.
That is usually an XML file defining the access to the service. A site simply giving a list of currencies is not a web service.
I looked at the Czech National Bank site (the english version) and could not find any link to a service. Perhaps you can help me there?

Sorry, unless I'm very wrong this is just a method to set the date (and info) on their site. I can't use this to retrieve the data in the application.
A webservice link always ends with WSDL.
This can tell you if I can use it or not. By the way, WSDL = Web Services Description Language, in case you wondered

[UTIL][GPS]MBeGPS

It is available now a software upgrade.
It is possible time to send our position both street SMS that by email.
With the SMS we can send our current position in the form of Latitude and Longitude in formed decimal Degrees that can be used on google Maps/Earth.
With the email is sent a message that will allow instead to whom receives it to be able to visualize a map with our exact position.
In practice for who receives the message it will be enough tap above to send the necessary script to Google to get the map.
To access these two functions click on the menu Stato, Invia Posizione and chose between Invia SMS or Invia mail
Shortly it will be possible to use the incoming SMS to visualize the position of whom has sent it in comparison to ours with the distance and to asked for the visualization on a map.
It is necessary to have a configured account on the device
David
I renamed my software: now it's MBeGPS instead of VisualGPS (in order to don't create homonym)
Hi everybody, I wrote this software to have under control all the functionalities of the integrated GPS or external one.
Besides is possible to visualize the own position as Google Maps and can be possible memorized some itineraries by to see on Google Earth.
It is possible download it here:
www.mbenterprise.it/Software/tabid/54/Default.aspx
David

I can translate the instructions page in Google, but is the software available in English?

I think you should choose another name for it.
Another program i allready called Visual GPS:
http://www.visualgps.net/

@timn2087
now is present the english version of the user manual on site, I'm working to release a new version in english in a few days.
@teddyen66
unfortunately I have discovered the other visualgps to late, consider that in italy the number of download is more that 1.000 and I would create confusion if I now changed the name.

but maybe it might become not only a confusion but a copyright issue. I don't know....

non mi memorizza l'itinerario.Compare un messaggio d'errore dicendomi di installare cfnet3.5, anche se gia e' installato.

it would be nice if it's also in english on that website of yours

Now there is the complete english translation of the user manual.
after the registration it is reachable on a new page named MBeGPS

is this software in english so i can try it?
thanks

I'm working to translate the software too.

MbeGPS 2.1 is available now
It is available the new version of MBeGPS in two different version, Std for all devices without accelerometer sensor and Plus for the device with sensor.
In the next week I'll traslate the software in English (I would like wait for the first feedback in order to clear the software from the bugs before traslate).
David

Latest software version is now available
I have highlight the description obove the upgrade on the first post
David

can someone please explain in plain english what this program does?

You can take under control all the GPS information like a Latitude and Longitude, Compass, Altimeter, Speed (Km/h) or changing view, you can see your route with the possibility to save it and pass the file (.kml) to google earth in order to highlight it over the satellite map or send the current position via gprs or wifi to google maps in order to obtain a map with your actual position on a street map or send by mail your position in order to make to know your position to anothe person.
You could also reload your route (graphics not over the map) and strike it again (bike or trekking route etc.)
You can see in a third view your acceleration like a Formula 1 graphic style and your inclination roll and pitch.
David

why don't you add screenshots? (to your site)
(I see you have AFTER someone registers!...)
also WHICH files to download?
you have most of the site in italian - it is not clear

After registration you can have the access ho mbegps page.
Tou can choose from mbegps std v.2.1.0.2 for device without accelermeter sensor ore mbegps plus v.2.1.0.2 tor device with the sensor.
There is an english version of the user manual about the v.2.1
The upgrated command are described also in english in the news section or the home page

yes but the PROGRAM is not in English

Now is available the english translation of the program plus a little upgrade.
In the graphics window , touching the speed rectanle, the speed units toggle from Km/h to Knot and to miles.
This values will be saved into a MBeConfig.ini file and will be reload at the software startup.
I have decelerate the gsensor acquisition.
In knot mode the pointing on the center screen are disabled and the zoom is increased to permit more details during the boat navigation.
Please let me know every problem you have
Thanks
David

Accu weather code

It seems that Accu Weather changed their site, so now you can't get the city codes from the URL in the address bar.
Does anyone have an idea on how to get the codes from their site?
I need the code for Torgau, Germany and a friend of mine is looking for Doetinchem, Netherlands.

Hi,
if you use Firefox as your browser, just install the addon Forecastfox. In the add on you can search for your city and the needed code is visible in the options of the add in. Torgau is EUR|DE|GM014|TORGAU|
bye
Sven

But not anymore! :-(
The new forecastfox shows no more codes.
