Destinator 8.1 with Australia Map 2008.Q1 & TTS - TUTORIAL

[ralbright]

I live in the United States, and I also have one of the Chinese single Din all in one with a 5 in screen. I loaded everything as stated for Australia (but have the USA maps on 'stand-by'), but then the graphics appear skewed and messed up. I think the resolution is 480x272. Is there any way to manual adjust Destinator to work with my resolution?

Thank you
Russell

I thought I would give Destinator 8 a go again this time with the V8 Australian map and i works ok np. However, in the time settings there is nothing in the TIME ZONE menu and therefore actual time cannot be show on the map after satellite lock.

How do you put the correct TIME ZONE into the menu?
Do I need to install Destinator 9 Map?

I have managed to load up Destinator on my Double Din unit, and the only drama is I can't get a Satalite fix?? Where in the Menu does Destinator search for GPS Hardware, and/or setup the Com ports?? I'm sure its staring me right in the face.

How do you change the resolution of the main map screen to 320x240 ?
I have the menu icon in bottom left hand corner partly covered.

If there are any mistakes, please PM me to let me know so that I can fix them.
Please notify me of dead links as well, I'll do my best to fix it.

for most of you, it will work the first time, however some of you will have problems,
some minor and some major. All devices are different and you will get many different types
of errors. I can't list all the issues here but I want to ask people to help each other out
and support each other if someone asks for help. I'll do my best as well.

If there are newer versions of what I uploaded here, please let me know, please dont just say
there is a newer one, please supply the link or upload it yourself. Thanks





THINGS TO KNOW:
------------------------------------------------------
1) English voices only
2) Australia map only
3) If you get errors or trouble starting the application ask here for help or Google it, because google is your friend.
4) None of my archives have passwords - I share, not keep secrets.
5) Don't extract directly to the memory card, files tend to get corrupt that way !
6) Map is already activated / patched
7) This has TTS (text to speech)
8) If anyone has newer maps / voices / speed cams / POI's etc please upload them here.





WHAT DEVICE DOES THIS WORK ON?
------------------------------------------------------
1) Most Windows Mobile 5.0 or 6.5 devices
2) Works on my Chinese In-Car DVD/GPS system that runs a CE5.0 core
3) Confirmed working on my HTC TyTN II Mobile, HTC Dopod 838 Pro, and mio168 running windows mobile 2003 with CE 4.2 core)
4) I was not able to get this working on my HTC Touch Pro 2, the screen is really messed up and fuzzy. Don't know why. I'm assuming the phones resolution is not compatible with Destinator.





WHAT TO DOWNLOAD:
------------------------------------------------------
1) REQUIRED -





PREPERATION:
------------------------------------------------------
1) OPTIONAL - Back up any previous versions of Destinator data that you may have (eg: poi's, maps, speed cams, voices etc).
2) OPTIONAL - Uninstall/Delete any previous Destinator versions/directories.
3) If your CE device / PNA / PDA / PPC uses a SD card for the maps and software, then you'll need a SD card reader for your computer or laptop or you can plug your device in via the USB to transfer data that way, depending on your device.
3) REQUIRED - Have installed.





INSTALLATION:
------------------------------------------------------
1) Extract [Destinator.rar] to a temp folder of your hard drive.
2) Copy the [Destinator] folder to the root of your SD memory card.
3) Before you start the application you will need to change your port/baud settings. Go to MEMORY CARDDestinatorMobileNavigatorUserData and open file GPSTMC.ini with notepad.
4) Change your required settings (see picture)

5) Once you have done this, save the file.
6) Start Destinator with MobileNavigator.exe





That is it ! Enjoy

Hollowman won't answer you, he left this forum a year or 2 back after disagreements with the forum moderators.


I wasn't a member then, however have read many of his threads & learned a lot from them, he is missed.
There are many here who would welcome him back.
