Version 2.2.78 got updated on August 11, 2003  Download from here...

A filter option is added, to remove points that are close to each other or points that are in line.

A method for using GaRoute while having FontMachine is implemented. Mail me for more information on this.

GaRoute will integrate with RealMaps by Kevin Millican. Both reading points and reading/writing waypoint (.TXT) files.

Also I added navigation buttons on the main screen to quickly move to Realmaps, Route and Street. You can also switch by just typing "R", "S", "C", "P" or  "E"

Use 2.2.65  if you are using TomTom Citymaps 3.0 or TomTom Route 3.0. It solves problems with the new instruction table, where instructions occupy multiple lines. Especially on the Revo, this was problematic. 

New in GaRoute Version 2.2 

Select a point in RealMaps and store in in Garoute for further uploading to your GPS as route or waypoint.
You can automate the process and quickly capture series of points and Garoute will then assign names automatically.

The list screen allows mass editing and bulk-deletion of selectable points.

The menu looks like this now:

Navigation screeshots (no Route/Street screenshot added, as the swapping function would show)

Fix problem when no d-drive is there, for street info.
Fix problem instruction screen (NMEA arrow does not refresh)
Fix problem French language route interpretation
Fix problem route interpretation, now an error message is shown if the user has not configured time columns
Fixed problem reading routes in Route Planner 1.4, introduced in 2.2.20 (Millennium version was OK)
Fixed problem in distribution (streeticon.txt & routeicon.txt were missing)
new-burst.gif (720 bytes) NMEA based MAP switching is there....
GaRoute can determine whether it is in reach of a Street Planner map.
If so it will switch to the proper map and display
Street Planner. If not within the reach of a Street Planner
map it will switch to Route Planner.
For this feature to work, you will need to configure Garoute
so that it knows about the reach of each Street map.
Garoute features a setup wizard to enter these coordinates.

 

new-burst.gif (720 bytes) Revo Open file dialog fixed, now capturing waypoints & Routes 
should work, though the screen resolution is not optimized.
Added TRACK and WAYPOINT altitude reading, for those GPS-es that support it.
new-burst.gif (720 bytes) GaRoute will display an heads up graphical map.
new-burst.gif (720 bytes) GaRoute will display the instruction from Street / Route
planner.
Can zoom automatically, so you always see the next 
waypoint ahead.
new-burst.gif (720 bytes) Can beep when approaching a waypoint
new-burst.gif (720 bytes) This version supports PCX reading of track/route and waypoints
as well as writing them. This opens a large number of other
packages to exchange data with. Fugawi, Mapsource and many more.

Version 2.1.86 is available as of August 28, 2000

I've been making a massive amount of changes....

support for eMap, eTrex, GPS III+, like it's meant to be and the StreetPilot is in!

Believe me, it's massive, because now I'm supporting all these different protocols and try to stick with the original datafile.

This is 

This version is published as shareware.

New in GaRoute Version 2.1.86

Fixed distribution problem in .sis file

New in GaRoute Version 2.1.85

Made it Street Planner '99 Millenium compatibel

New in GaRoute Version 2.1.81

COOL added speed, time & dist to trackdata
now you can see how fast you went, where and at what time.
enhance closing handling for help file, when exiting GaRoute
this caused on error CMDE: not found - whehn closing Garoute
enhance error handling for connection problems (in NMEA mode or not cable)
There is now a clear message when Garoute seen NMEA data coming in
when you find no points in a route, GaRoute tries to open with all points.
This solves the problem for a downloaded route, where a message was displayed:
"cannot find enough points".
when files called a* exist GaRoute temporarily renames them. This fixes 
problem importing data into the .GaR file.
fixed problem in protocol implementation, that could omit trackdata.
If four $10 messages existed in the data coming from the GPS, the message was
misinterpreted and the transfer inappropriately aborted.

New in GaRoute Version 2.1.80

Added selection of (small) icons for overlay files
Added map datum support, specifically for Dutch Street planner maps. There was an error in Palmtop's map, that can be compensated for now.
The default i s now _always_ set to Garmin product capabilities protocol.
Fixed a problem where protocol D401 (proximity waypoints) was reported
as unknown.
Added further NMEA code, is activated by create a file calle useNMEA in
the GaRoute dir. There are still bugs in this area though. (see who reads
this line :-)
Fixed some problems for the Street Pilot
Increased timeout values for GPS communication
Allowed offets (in seconds) for time synchronization
Added support for eMap with 50 routes of 50 points

New in GaRoute Version 2.1.61

This version supports the Garmin Capabilities Protocol. It means that GaRoute will interrogate your GPS and figure out the type of device and type of protocol flavours it support. This will allow me to talk to the newer devices like the eMap etc.
The waypoint transfer for the eMap, eTrex, StreetPilot is supported (anyone interested in Aviation type GPS's let me know)
Communication is so reliable, that you can disconnect you cable while sending data to the GPS, reconnect again and nothing will be lost.
The dialog have been dramatically been improved, using the Neuon nMPD OPX.
You can synchronize the Psion time with the GPS time.

Previous versions could already

Read Routes from both Route Planner ( normal and Millennium) and Street Planner
Store these routes as Route or Track in your GPS, ready for a goto or trackback
Read/Store/Write Waypoints from your GPS
Read/Store/Write Routes from your GPS
Read/Store/Write Tracks from your GPS
Read/Store/Write overlay files for Route & Street PLanner
Support German and Dutch user interface
Store information on the Psion  in standard DATA application
Allow you to log the Garmin Protocol IO between GPS and Psion

 

Show progress, as you drive, distance to next turn, travel time, direction, ETA, ETE, turn to take.
Automatically switch between Street Planner and Route Planner as you approach and leave the Street Planner the area
Make a soun\d when you approach a turn
