Info:
TimeSyncTZ is a Time Zone aware NTP client that also copes with Daylight Saving Time (DST). I wrote this after using an app called Sychro Time that only synced to UTC time rather than British Summer Time.

Features:
10 nist time servers to choose from.
Auto connects to the internet.
Silent running mode from the command line.
Usage (command line):
TimeSyncTZ can be started from a shortcut with any of the following parameter combinations. silent must be specified.
Code:
TimeSyncTZ.exe silent [/debug | /debug+ | /debug-] [/timeout:ms] [/silentdelay:ms] [/server:address] [/autoconnect | /autoconnect+ | /autoconnect-]
silent Mandatory first param to enable use of command line mode.
/debug[+/-] Enable/Disable Debugging (Specifying enables, use +/- for explicit on/off) - default Off.
/timeout:ms Number of miliseconds to wait before the NTP class times out - default 20000.
/silentdelay:ms Number of miliseconds to wait before attempting the Sync (Useful when auto running when starting the OS) - default 15000.
/server:address Address (IP/DNS) of the Server to sync with, if not specified will use the last server - default pool.ntp.org.
/autoconnect[+/-] Enable/Disable auto connection to the internet (Specifying enables, use +/- for explicit on/off) - default On.

Thanks for this! I'll test it and report back.
Can you clue me in to why one might use this app? I travel all over the US and the network sync for time zones built into my phone is crap and I can't deal with wasting time fixing appoinments after changing time zones.

It doesn't Sync Time Zone's it Sync's your time, but in your own time zone (set in regional settings) rather than in UTC time.
Great app, better than SP Timesync which does not automatically connect (though I do like the interface ).Regards,Nika.

Thanks Nika,
I keep tinkering with the source and I will be done updates when I get time. I might even look at the UI as well

I've finally updated this app, hopefully I'll keep tinkering to improve stuff, feel free to post feed back.

TimeSyncTZ FTW!
Bravo Dave. In software and other areas in life it often eludes us that simplicity and usefulness are not mutually exclusive.
Thanks for letting me host it. I didn't just add it, I ditched your competitor of sorts sptimesync, a move which is a first for my site.
Doug
I love the "I'm a programmer..." line...
Thanks for the update. Now I can get the time right whenever I startup my phone... And that happens a lot with excessive ROM flashing and unstable software!
Not sure whether I've ever posted this, but when you sync your phone calendar appointments, and sync the time afterwards you might get strange notifications, and errors (I've had this several times). Nowadays I always perform the following steps when ROM-updating:
1. Update ROM, usually I do not change time/date with the initial screens
2. Run timesync + soft-reset
3. Run Sashimi (or UC, or whatever you use to install your apps )
4. Sync my exchange account (= contact & calendar)
Funny thing I noticed is that syncing exchange/calendar takes a long time on WM6.1 (every 100 cal-items it delays for a few minutes), which does not occur on WM6.0... (yeah, I'm running a 6.0 default ROM currently )

Nika.

It seems you have a French ROM but the English .NET CF 3.5 installed? Or maybe you're suffering from this bug:
http://blogs.msdn.com/martijnh/arch...essages-on-the-net-compact-framework-3-5.aspx
Without the real message I wonder whether Paul can help . I will try to reproduce myself to see whether it crashes with an English ROM and .NET CF 3.5 in English too...
Regards,
Nika.
Hi, it's better if you choose pool.ntp.org as the default server. It will automatically select the nearest server according to your IP address.
Yup, same issue on English ROM. Maybe Dave knows why?
Another question I have is that it constantly says it would like to correct about 1 sec (between 0.7 to 1.4 is the values I've seen) after trying to sync again. Any thoughts on why? Possibly it's the time it takes for the code to query and/or set the time?
Regards,
Nika.
thanx dude.. for sharing this useful application .. GOOB JOB !!! ..
I came across one more (minor) bug:
When the TZ is GMT+1 and you sync from some invalid time (in my case the ROMs built date/time, which was sometime in 2007!), it syncs to one hour ahead. So for instance, phone is set to 14/02/2007 08:13, the current time is 01/01/2008 20:30, it will sync to 01/01/2008 21:30 (instead of 20:30).
Setting it back to one hour before, it will sync fine the next time...
Regards,
Nika.
I've used the silent option btw (added a shortcut to my Sashimi Root folder that automatically adds it to the \Windows\Startup folder):
TimeSyncTZ.exe silent pool.ntp.org

Nika.

I get the error "No such host", which probably means I that some of the server's in the list are wrong. For the next version, I'll re-test the server list and maybe add pool.ntp.org.

Hi Nika,
I think it's the delay between the request and reply, I got the same with SynchroTime. Most of the NTP code isn't mine .

This I am unsure of, I'll try and re-test this when I next re-open the code . Was it a Kaiser ROM, if so let me know which and I'll flash it to be sure. Do you flash and change the time zone as part of the "Tap screen to Setup" or change it in Windows afterwards?

Hi Dave,
I've had this with all ROMs (yes it's Kaiser, current is a WM6.0 ROM, see my sig) as far as I remember. Possibly you could even try to set your time back, set it to GMT+1 and sync, which will set the time to a GMT+2 time. I'll check when my phone is done syncing
Regards,
Nika.
Shorcut in my startup turned out not to be so successful as it fails to connect every time I soft-reset. I guess the HSDPA connection has not yet correctly initialised when the startup folder is executed. Maybe you can add a command-line like "delay XX" where it delays doing the sync?
Regards,
Nika.

Anyway great app AX3L, very usefull!!
Any way to configure the sending format of the coordinates?
Like for example get the GPS data, convert to UTM and then send?
Great app all the same, keep up the good work!
the format is a standard....TomTom, for example accept only this format!
Anyway, an example using TomTom:
Simply insert 13:20'31.40 as "13.20314"

I don't think you can convert from Degrees:Minutes'Seconds (DMS) to Decimal Degrees (DD) quite so easily. DD=D+(M/60)+(S/3600)
13 degrees 20 minutes 31.4 seconds converts to 13.34206 decimal degrees. There are online converters as well: http://www.cosports.com/tools/gps_coords.htm

Interesting app.
Unfortunately it never launches on my Treo 700wx (WM5).

Works well on XDA Orbit.
Would be nice if it also could send a google maps link automaticly.
Does anyone knows a similar software that sends an email with the coordinates (perhaps in google maps format) ?
Marshall: Although Mio one is easier to use. Just hold the volume down key for 6 seconds and your coordinates will be sent to the people you've chosen on the list before.

LocationSMS new?
I can't make the add from contact's work.
i have an Eten M700, which is preinstalled with an old version and I can't seam to overwrite it?!?
Is it possible to download the exe file somewhere?
The location sms is also recognized by www.poi66.com If you send location messages there the server will drawn a google map for you with all your waypoints.
activation:
SMS USER yourname to +31638157313
create album for YOUR waypoints:
SMS ALBUM albumname to +31638157313
Now you can send your Location SMS to this number and see what happens. You can actually download GPX, KML, Tomtom and many other files from it.
Al replacement of the Location sms could be:
SMS GP latitude longitude free text to +31638157313 as long that's a degrees-formatted string (42.73723 or 1.11283, no minutes, no seconds, just degrees).

AX3L, very nice UI and would be very handy if it didn't act the same as mccune's on my Trin.
Seems to take a long time to send and then notifies it has been sent, moves it to the sent items but does not send. I can however forward it from my sent items (as you would expect just like a normal SMS).

nueGPSSecurity - basically an anti-theft thing I'm sure many of you have seen/used before. The difference of course is that nueGPSSecurity is much more lightweight (~17kb) and you'll probably forget that its installed...
12/17 - updated to version 1.1
12/17 - updated to version 1.11 critical update!!! please download (see http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/post/2008/12/17/nueGPS-Critical-update.aspx)
12/25 - updated to 1.2
To talk to the service, send a text message:
!nuegps<pin> <action>
where pin is your pin number, and action is one of these action verbs:
version: display version number
status: get system status
getpos: text back next position fix (auto-start gps)
quickpos : gets your position and turns gps off after
getlink: gets a link to google maps with the position of the phone
quicklink: gets a link to google maps with the position of the phone, turns gps off after.
alarm: turns on an alarm and takes phone off silent/vibrate
alarmoff: turns the alarm off
track: tracks your phone’s current position and uploads the position online.
stoptrack: stops uploading your position online.
Track uses a google maps+street view interface to display a visual of your phone location. You’ll need to be a donator to take advantage of the feature (again, due to server cost issues) and generate a token for your phone using the donator control panel (If you have an old token, you’ll have to generate a new one because this feature requires the new phone field). Once you’ve done that – login here: http://www.nuerom.com/nuedonate/gpslocator.aspx and select your phone to view its location. Note that the application currently only records the last 5 minutes of your location and only records if you’ve donated at least 5$.

that's pretty cool.
looks very simple and leightweight.
i will check it out.
one questiong though, if i send an sms and the phone is inside will it wait until it has a good gps fix and only then send a message?
any thoughts about having it send a google maps .kml file via email to a predesignated email address?
Nice soft small but very usefull

yeah, that sounds like a good idea... shouldn't take too long to implement =)
ok updated, no KML yet, but google maps link is there.
Is it possible to add a feature where it will detect if a new/different sim card is put into the phone?
For example, we can have a set registry entry myphone="12345678" - upon startup, if the nuegps service finds out if the entry in the registry is not the same as the number of the simcard, it will automatically initiate a quickpos/getpos and send an SMS to myphone, = "12345678".
This can be useful if the phone is stolen and the thief puts in a new simcard.
An extension to the above idea would be to have another registry entry "emergencycontact" = "99999999" (basically your spouse/gf/friends number) where the SMS gets sent to instead of "phone".

yeah, im thinking of how to implement that; i come from the cdma world where it is not really a big deal (since we have no sim card) , here is the problem:
the code is only launched when there is an incoming message (this is why the memory footprint is so small) to detect when the sim is removed, the code needs to be running at all times (or maybe just at startup). I'm thinking the solution is to make a lightweight service for this purpose.
anyway, i have your suggestion now i'll see what i can do =)
A slightly embarrassing error: Version 1.1 of nueGPSSecurity has a bug when you send “getlink” that causes it to send lots of text messages (basically whenever your position changes…)
This is fixed in version 1.11. Sorry for any problems it might have caused.
http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/post/2008/12/17/nueGPS-Critical-update.aspx
I've been waiting for a nice lightweight program like this for quite a while, all of the other ones eat up resources like that's part of their function...
Thanks no2chem, another great program ^_^
Very nice. Will implement this into my ROM I think - so its there after a hardreset too ...
Hello,
for me it is not working.
Installed CAB on my Touch HD (German Stock ROM). SMS is intercepted, but no sms is send back, no gps, no version.
I checked all Registry-Entries but everything look ok for me.
Any Help how to track that Problem ?

Some other cool possible functions:
1. Wiping out contacts (so that thief won't solicit them for pin numbers/codes/passwords etc..)
2. Wiping e-mail settings so they won't receive unwanted email from pop/imap etc.. (maybe by jsut deleting reg settings)
3. formatting storage card
any other ideas? definitely a lot of potential with this program.
Doesn't work for me either.
Installed the cab. Soft reset. Text myself !nuegps000 getpos and the message goes right through. It doesn't seem to be intercepting it. I am on an ATT Fuze, with my own custom rom. I get text and MMS messages just fine, so I don't know what would be wrong

EDIT2: I'd like to add that I just used my friend's phone and it works great so far!
VakitlerPDA is a freeware software which is used as a reminder while following up ISLAMIC Timeframes and Athan (Adthan Times).
Any of your request for the V.2.8 would be appreaciated.
(Turkish and English language supported.)
Software belongs to the Basic Features; AZAN(Muslims prayer call) is played automatically for 5 times a day after you set the time according to your country.
* Predefined 44 Country & City for timeframe calculations.
* By clicking the Diyanet İnternet button, you can recieve the prayer time over the Internet buy using (Wi-Fi/GPRS) .
* Latitude and longitude information is retrieved automatically from GPS (embedded by Bluetooth or GPS). Diyanet prayer time and direction to the appropriate angle is provided for free without any external connection to the internet.
* It calculates the manually entered GPS information (latitude and longitude), appropriate prayer time and any angle direction according to the Diyanet for free without any external connection to the internet. (To manually enter the latitude and longitude information,make your own query by address, your address, latitude / longitude information from here.)
* Times are updated with Auto Calc.Option Formula at solstice, calculating the time of daily prayers. (without the need of Internet connection)
* When you select Confidential reminder at the end of time, the automatic program will turn off itself, only the prayer time will be open for warning. Without running the program or the time on the background it just gives an alert. (The system uses resources economically.)
* Exe files can run directly without requiring installation. (Compact Framework 2.0 must be installed.)
* Athan is played in mp3 format, and is read specifically to each pray time by different authorities in athan reading. You can change the existent athan file with your own one and play your own athan.
* Athan Vibrating alerts help to keep track of information in crowded places.
* The next information reminder is given in the lower right corner of the screen in yellow color.
* The calculated time for each day is displayed in burgundy color on the main screen.
* If Safi Madh option is on, the Fair athan time is played, if not athan is played an hour before the sunrise.( according to the Hanefi Madh.)
* Athan is not only played in regular pray times but also it can be used as a reminder of other special times such as Daybreak time, Israk timeframe and Doha timeframe) by an optional menu of chosing different audio files and creating different alert times in different units.
* When the Makruh timeframe alert is marked, the alert warns you 55 minutes before the actual time and 10 minutes before the kerahat time. Different audio options and number of alerts can be set.
* Daybreak is the best time to wake up in the night for Tahajjud, so alert modes are avaliable fort his pray, too.
* Time calculation can be done with any of the accepted pray times around the world.
* Calibration of time can be created according to where you are to adjust the time to the location.
* When the athan time comes you can get the alerts in any audio file you wish instead of the athan sound. (In the meeting etc.)
* With the Voice alert mode (WAV) the athan is only read in the morning and the other times are alerted with a voice warning.
* There is a feature on the main window to quickly change the settings.

no english language? so pity
There is English version...
Until version 2.6, there is English support.
Now it is in version 2.7 and it is really good.
But sometimes I have some problems with some ROMs, it does not run.
For example, in PhamQuang's ROMs, unfortunately it does not run.

A new Beta 2.8.1 Stabil version is ready for you,
What is new:
GPSspot software is working very special for VakitlerPDA, Thank you for the GPSSpot developer Maik to share his project to us.
GPSSpot is running by using the GPS menu from VakitlerPDA main menu,
GPSSpot is a GPS compass and always showing the Mecca/Qibla direction where ever you are. Next version there will be Qabe picture into the compass as well.
Google Map support added for Qibla. This is working with GPS and without GPS.
If you have a GPS then it looks for the valid GIS info and gets your satelite picture with the Qibla direction in red.
If you do not have a GPS than do not worry. There was also manuel GIS info section for the timeframe praying calculation, now this module is updated. Just clicking on the Qibla angle you will directly see your google map and Qibla as well.
(Since googlemap maps are receiving over the internet, this may be priced by your GSM provider price list if you use GSM/GPRS. But Wi-Fi may be free of charge for you to see your Qibla as well.)
Prerequest For Beta Version:
(Since this is not a cab file, This is just a .zip file needed to extract to the software working path for patching into new stabil beta version)
If you never setup before then you need to Full setup first,
From this setup file
Download setup file for the first time and start the file over your PDA.
If you have already installed VakitlerPDA then you just need to the following steps;
1. download this .zip file and then extract,
2. Directly just copy the files where you installed the setup files
How to add city/country?
JAZAK ALLAH KHARAN bro
We tried to add most of the countries and cities into the list for the beginning,
If there was not your country in the list then
you may inform us what country/city you are living in and we can add your country in the next version.
But normally you can check your address from http://vakitler.net address then add it manually to the gps calculation area in the software then software calculates it exactly your address even if you have not a gps device. This works manually calculation method by using the gps GIS info.

Thank you brother,
Please check Regional Settings -> Number tab if decimal symbol is comma and digit grouping symbol is dot.
If not please adjust decimal symbol to comma,
and
digit grouping symbo to dot.
And also the date settings need to be DAY.MONTH.YEAR combination like 29/09/2009 or 29.09.2009 and the time format needs to be 24 hour like 19:30 for evening time..
This has to solve your trouble inshallah.
JAZAK ALLAH KHARAN
[EDIT 29.09.2009]
Updated to version 2.1.8...future versions are planned to be released on Marketplace.
Note...99% of issues with "crashing on startup" is because people either have not installed .Net 3.5, or they have not rebooted their phones after installing .Net 3.5!
And one last thing, we will watch this thread, so feel free to ask for features, enhancements...we might add it in future versions on Marketplace.
Will update here when new version is on Marketplace with info about what is improved. ...it will most likely take a while before it is available...we are still in process of getting our account at Microsoft...
TrineFix is a utility that will fix a lot of issues you might have with your PIM data (Contacts, Appointments and Tasks)...and is you have no "issues" with PIM data, it still can be a benefit to easily do a cleanup with TrineFix (getting rid of very old appointments and so forth).
Duplicate contacts or appointments, FileAs on your contacts not as you like it, missing country codes, or not the format you want it to be!? TrineFix will fix it for you!

}
And if you sync with Outlook on your PC (or to a work server with Exchange), you will naturally get those data fixed on next sync too.
I have used it myself to fix my Outlook data at work...since my workphone syncs with my jobs Exchangeserver, so all fixes are applied at my work PC seconds later.
"Preview, manually correct, then apply the fix"
There are other applications that do much of the same, but TrineFix lets you always preview the data that will be affected, and even select/unselect individual items quickly, to give you full control.
Touchscreen, non-touchscreen, QVGA, VGA, WVGA, 320x320...
An another fairly unique feature of TrineFix is that it will adjust itself to different device types. If you have a smartphone, the buttons are smaller (since they do not need to be fingerfriendly), if you got a device with touchscreen the buttons are larger. If you have a touchscreen and no hardwarekeyboard, the software keyboard will show automatically when needed (option you can turn on/off under preferences). There are more, but I guess you are getting the point! ;-)
Some of the features in this version (2.0)
Duplicates (app, con)
You decide what fields should be compared (for example you might want to see all contacts that has similar names only)
Auto-remove exact duplicates, and get a preview of "near matches", and decide which instance to keep for these near matches
FileAs (con)
In Outlook you can set FileAs (ie. "Firstname Lastname", "Lastname, Firstname"...) differently per contact. I prefer to have them all the same, and TrineFix can set it as you wish for all your contacts in one go.
Country codes (con)
Change the formatting of countrycode on all your phonenumbers ("+1", "001", "(+1)", "(001)"...).
Add a default country code (your home country normally) to all phonenumbers that have no country code defined
Bulk deletes (app, con, tsk)
Get a list of all appointments, contacts or tasks that has a specific keyword/characters in them, and quickly uncheck/check all or some of these and delete. Might sound complex, but it sure ain't when you do it in TrineFix!
Built-in version check and download feature
TrineFix now has same built in version check as all TrineSeries applications, so you get a hint when there is a newer version, with info about whats changed/improved since the version you have, and let's you download and install cab directly from the application
Truly finger friendly (no small buttons or menus)
Keyboard friendly (we do not leave poor Smartphone owners behind, do everything with the keyboard if you want to
DISCLAIMER
We have tested TrineFix a lot and everything works great in all our tests.
...but you should still for safeties sake, take a backup of all your PIM data before you use TrineFix, just in case... ;-)
You can for example use PIM Backup (http://www.dotfred.net/) which is free, and does exactly what it says!
Feedback
This is what this forum is for, let us know if something you want is missing, something works great, or heay if something plainly sucks, whatever...I think we can take it!
TrineFix...what a weird name!?
If you think the name "TrineFix" is weird...well, it's the name of my girlfriend (who has helped out with all my apps btw), and the reason I made this program when she got a problem while syncing with several PC's, and ended up with a LOT of duplicates, and it drove her mad...so I made an app that fixed Trines problem...ergo "TrineFix"...and later "TrineSeries"! So now you know the store behind the weird naming!
And her name is not pronounced "trayn" (like they did in the MsMobiles podcast...it made us both laugh ), but more "treeneh"...ok...diffucult to explain...it sounds nice in Norwegian at least!
Where's the scrollbars!?
Scrollbars are NOT shown as default, but you can turn that on under Preferences (Auto/Off). I have them off as default, since I think the scrollbars in WM are "ugly"...ok...I am crazy, I know! :-D
New versions
TrineFix will on startup check against our webserver if there is a new version available, this chech is done on a seperate thread and is very light on datatrafic (approx 40-50 characters/bytes).
Below are screenshots showing what you would see if you upgraded from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2 for example...

Hi,

Good luck and very good job.

All texts are in english, no special service for the Frenchies I am afraid! :-(
But heay, I am norwegian, and have given no special services for us either!
We are making a couple of more applications here, and all the new ones will be "international"...enough of "norwegian apps". But the existing/old ones we have currently for "norwegians only" are using local webservices and so forth, that are really only usefull in Norway.
But enough excuses...we will support the (english speaking) Frenchies from now on! :-D
And thanks for the nice words, we will do our best!

Rolled out version 2.0.1 now, could not reproduce the exact problem, but did a enhancement in the "detect country code of phonenumber" part of my code...hope that cured it!
If not, the next one who experiences the same, great if you could PM me with phonenumber before and after fix...so I can reproduce the same issue in my end, and squash the bug for good!
Made a small enhancement at the same time, the menu where you select the type of formatting you want for countrycodes ("+1", "001"...) now will show examples with the countrycode that you last selected as default country...making the explanation on the menubuttons slightly more relevant for the user.
I am going away until sunday on my brothers bachelor party tomorrow (hope my brother does not frequent XDA, so I will not be able to do any fixes or replies until sunday evening.
"PrincessTrine" will monitor the thread the next 1.5 days, and reply as best as she can though!
Great management application ... tnx for the hard work of making such one.
Hey nice ROM you're running there too.. lol
Any plans to add a "edit before dial" feature? This is a feature found on most Nokia and Sony Ericsson phones but not on WM. It's so frustrating.

Could you explain a little how that works, since I haven't seen that...and maybe we will add it...just need to know what it IS first!
[EDIT]
Feel free to describe how YOU (and others can do the same) would LIKE such a functionality to work. So we can get better idea of the issues one tries to solve with this.
I presume, from the sound of it, that it has something todo with "editing a number before dialing it"!?
Tried too google it, but better to get a description from people who actually have seen it in action, and a short description of how people then would like something like this on their WM phone.
[EDIT2]
From reading this http://blog.jake.net/2009/06/01/edit-before-dialing-please/ article on the web...it seems like it really can be solved with just using +44 (meaning "+" and "countrycode") as countrycode prefix and no "(0)" / "0" in the number:
The number should be written either 020 7123 1234 (with the country prefix assumed) or +44 207 123 1234.
..or am I misinterperating the article and the issue.
Sorry the questions...quess I just need to calm down here...and wait patiently for some input here...!? :-D

Will it work with syncing with my PC and its Groupwise?
It seems as though this would work with my Palm Treo Pro (running Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional) when syncing using the USB sync to my PC for my Groupwise PIM data, even when it is running my Google apps, especially the calendar. (I had a lot of duplicates showing up when I tried to run the Google apps, using CompanionLink and thus quit trying it. I would love it if your utility would fix those problems whether across the USB connection or live across the wireless instant sync.) Will it indeed do well with this kind of setup?
Sorry for all the detail, but I wanted to make sure that I gave all of the correct info.
Thank you....
Just installed it... works - thank you!

Since I have not used Google apps, Groupwise, or CompanionLink, I can not say for sure. But since TrineFix will apply changes to contacts, appointments and tasks on your device, ANY sync program that syncs changes made on your device, would work fine.
Take a backup with PIM Backup, try it out...since it "should" work fine!
If not, I would like to know a little about what does not work as expected, and maybe I can add extra options/features to the duplicate-searches for example.
And no need to appologise for the amount of details...details is always good, that's my motto!

This program looks great!
Will there be any prepackaged maps for download? For Example, Canada, New York, London, Paris, France?
Great Tool, I like it really.
But some time the PC-Tool crash. After the next crash I will post the message.
@Maedhros
I think this is not easy, because the file for a whole country with every zoom level is a fat file (many GB great).
@NaviComputer
A great feature is a map update over the Smartphone (3G, WLAN, ...), or a auto download for missing tiles.
looks finger friendly... thanks for this
crash all the time...
Unfortunately the desktop software doesn't even want to start on Windows 7 x64:-( The process starts up, but UI never shows up:-(
P.S. Be careful with Google maps, caching their maps is against user agreement. Microsoft, however, allows it to some extend (though you have to get a Virtual Earth dev. license).
Very nice job, thanks for the hard work!
Hi,
here idea for a new feature.
A merge feature for the PC-Tool. So it is easy to download some segments and merge to one layer. I think this is not a great problem for the sqlite-DB that you are using as single file store, or?

I have downloaded maps of several European cities such as Rome, Valencia, Hamburg, Cannes,... all about 5-10MB. I usually use zoomlevels 10-15 for cities. Anyway, downloading your own maps only takes a few minutes (if you have broadband internet connection)
But some time the PC-Tool crash. After the next crash I will post the message.

Thanks for that idea. Indeed I will put that on my todo list. The PC Tool will need some work to be done anyway (also stability issues ...)
'NO dataplan needed'
That sounds great!
Will try.
THanks
The PC Tool isn't working on x64 Windows 7 installations. As mentioned before the process starts but somehow fails to initialize the user interface.
Thanks
Same as Terracrosser but according to the description and comments looks WAY BETTER and maybe even faster to download the maps. Good work
issues with x64 Windows 7 installations
The PC Tool isn't working on x64 Windows 7 installations. The UI never showed up and the CPU goes 100%. Otherwise the concept looks great.
I can confirm the win7 x64 problem tried running with all admin rights on and in xp and vista compatability modes. always uses 13% of my corei7 920 and about 28Meg ram.
I can also confirm the problem with Windows 7 x64 - the process starts, no program UI loads, and the navimapper process loads a single core to maximum.
A Help file will be great.
Nice looking application....
BUT..............
On my XDA orbit (QVGA wm6.1) the buttons look a little squashed... Also so few options!!!! would love to seem more, such as the ability to change coordinates to a user one or distance from Kilometers to miles and vice versa. And may be the ability to specify the gps port.
Also the pc app is a little slow and the PPC apps doesn't see the maps when downloaded and transfered to device(for me at least)

Lohtse

Ok guys, I will try to fix this Windows 7 issue. I hope I will find the problem (without actually having Win7)
On my XDA orbit (QVGA wm6.1) the buttons look a little squashed... Also so few options!!!! would love to seem more, such as the ability to change coordinates to a user one or distance from Kilometers to miles and vice versa. And may be the ability to specify the gps port.

Sorry, up to now there is no QVGA support. Maybe I'll add that in future but since I do only have VGA/WVGA devices I need more people to motivate me adding QVGA
More options will definately be added. Please notice this is first release version 0.5...
A Help file will be great.

I'm going to add some FAQ here... Is there anything special which would like to be explained? I thought the PPC software is pretty much self explaining, however the map download procedure needs some more explanation. What do you think?
