Hi all,
I have already opened PocketSTREET with particular map from my application.
For that I am using OpennetCF's Process class. But I also want to have some
information returned back to my application from PocketSTREET. Can I do that
? If yes then How?

Please Guide me.
Thanks
 
There is no programming interface into Pocket Streets so there's no
supported way of getting data out of it, you can probably do this with other
mapping software for which APIs are available, but it depends on exactly
what you want to get from the app. What is your requirement?

The requirements are as follows
o Display location, which is passed from our application.
o Draw Map between two locations, which are passed from the application.

These are the basic requirement what we want to do.
Me and Viral are working in team.

In that case I would suggest you look at a true piece of navigation software
such as TomTom which has an SDK. For example I know that you can easily
achieve both of these using TomTom, and it will give you driving directions
between points. their SDK doesn't directly support .NETCF but it can be
wrapped, I've worked on a basic wrapper for TomTom 3/5 let me know if you
are interested.

Peter,

Thanks for the quick reply.
Can’t we have same functionality available in PocketStreet?
 
Yes please guide me. I am interested. Also send me some information about
TomTom.
Waiting for your repsonse.

Thanks in advance.

You can also look at MapX Mobile at www.mapinfo.com. It supports CF so
you won't need wrapper like TomTom to use it. Although it may not be as
feature rich as TomTom.

I haven't tried it myself, they have a developer section at their site
and you can download eval from there. If you try it, then please let me
know your opinion on this group as there is very little help available
on Mapx mobile available on this group.

Take a look at www.franson.com . They have just the tools you
need at very competitive prices.

hi Peter,
Thanks for your help but I searched for TomTom and found that it is not
metting our need in terms of compatibility with devcies. We are testing our
application on HP IPAQ, Symbol and Itronix q200(WindowsCE 4.2) series
devices.

So If you know any other SDK which we can use for development with .NETCF?
for below basic functionality
->Display location, which is passed from our application.
->Draw Map between two locations, which are passed from the application.

Please guide us.

Thanks in advance,
Viral

Have you checked to see if they have map coverage for your target region?
http://www.tomtom.com/ You'll also need to purchase the SDK, for which
you'll find details here:-
http://www.tomtom.com/pro/navigatorsdk5.php

If both of those suit your needs drop me an email to feedback [at] inthehand
[dot] com and I can get you a beta version of the .NETCF wrapper.

Does anybody know of any other wrapper available for TomTom 5 except
TTNCF? Also can anybody give me directions if I want to write a wrapper
of my own for TomTom SDK?

I dont know what writing a wrapper is all about, so it may be out of my
capacity to write a wrapper, but I am just curious :-)

Thanks in advance,

Sachin
