I'm in the process of designing a skin (user interface) for my car pc based sat nav system and I want to replicate the stock screens on the factory navigation system installed in Land Rovers. Sadly, I don't know anyone with colour screen factory nav in their Landies and haven't found anything on the net.

Does anyone know where I might find a link to a full set of high quality images of all the various screens that the sat nav displays? Alternatively, if anyone could take some reasonable quality digi photos of every screen and email them to me I would be most grateful. PM me for my email addy if you can help in any way.

If anyone is interested I could post up the progress so that you can see what I'm talking about.

Many thanks

Rusty
 
The ultimate LR sat nav would have a port splitter to divide the GPS signal between road based mapping and OS1:25k maps and the ability to switch between the two on the fly...

Any chance of coming up with one?

already exsists it's called Franson GPSGate. allows you to run as many different gps apps as you want. there's a free trial on theweb and the full version costs about £15. I've used the trial on an ipaq6915 running TomTom 6, Memory Map, and pocket streets
 
Thanks for that, I tried it, but it just crashed my Pocket PC every time...

did you get it to work... properly?

Yup, GPS Gate is out there. I use Xport on my car pc to split the signal for 2 applications, GPS and a tripmeter
 
Via Epia M10000 mini itx, 512Mb RAM, 80Gb laptop hard drive running off an M2ATX 160w psu/shutdown controller. Have a 7" TFT touchscreen monitor. Running on Windows XP Pro. Does everything, Sat Nav (Destinator) with speed camera alerts, Video, Phone, Music, WiFi, Bluetooth as well as all the usual pc software
 
I didnt like that GPS gate... great idea but didnt cut it..!
Maybe in a couple of years time when processing power in the pocket pc's is up a bit...?
