Would you like traffic camera alerts on your factory satnav?

Post by Nige_RS4 » Tue Jan 23, 2007 1:10 pm

I have a friend who's keen on adding this functionality to the CD-based and DVD-based VAG sat nav systems and he would like to have a look at the file structure to see if it is possible to incorporate speed camera sites as itinary points. Yes it's a long shot, but he has the skills to decompile s/w and knows just about everything there is to know about sat nav programming.

He is looking to borrow a CD or preferably a DVD disk for a few weeks - let me know by PM if you can help.

i'd be interested, wouldn't this infringe on the site policy on fake goods and copyright though?

He doesn't plan on selling it, just likes a challenge!

The only problem I cound think of unless I've not RTFM properly is that you would have to look at the nav + screen to spot the POI as it's not announced unlike others

I uploaded these as points of interest on a portable satnav and it bleeps when approaching a camera point. Maybe that would be an option?
