Hello,

Offroad Navigator is available for download here : Le Web Bazar !!! Offroad Navigator !!!

It has got all the functionalities of the previous version and works with all navcore versions, including 8.351 with the hook patch.

Offroad Navigator, Tripmaster, Height and Daylight

When I installed Tripmaster, Daylight stopped working. On installing Offrad Navigator everything was working except Daylight. I re-installed Daylight's Execution Manager, now Offroad and Tripmaster are back to the "flashing on and off" mode.
Has anyone been able to get all 4 working together? I expect there is a simple work-around that somebody knows about.

TomTom One

Will this work on TomTom One? I'm new to TomTom , recently trashed Megellan T3000. Also does can someone take me step by step as I have no knowledge of Linux. Thanks

I think if you go to the site in the link provided, a video demo of installation is available .... I think.

Anyway, knowledge of linux isn't necessary and others who have installed the app will probably be around to give good information to you.

Favorites - how to?

First of all, roussillat thousand thanks for Offroad Navigator - it is awesome. I am new to geocaching and I tried to find caches with my TomTom ONE and it's been a pain. This morning I found out about your plugin and it is super - it is slow in responding to input but it doesn't matter, I still think it's great.! Exactly what I hoped for. I will get some cache hunting soon and I bet now I'll find them!

A couple questions:
a) I tried to set the GMT offset as -7 and when I click Enter it changes to +7; no problem, I set it to -18 instead and it worked find but I thought you should know
b) when I click the File button it kicks me out of Navigator and back to the regular software; do I need to set something in Setup to fix this?
c) the most important: I can't figure how to use Favorites. I have Favorites set on my TomTom but how do I get to them. On the Navigator page it says I can select them but all I have is 3 buttons: Setup, File and Lat/Long. Can you please help me with this? If I get Favorites to work, it would be awesome.

Hope to find some caches soon.

Again, thanks a lot for your work.

I had the same questions last week, and a couple more this week. I agree with Pezeke--Thanks Roussillat--awesome package!

I can help a little:
a) I had the same GMT issue, and used the same work around.
b) The flile button only works if you have .itn files in your itinerary directory (itn). I am using a One 130. By default the 130 does not support iteneraries, but Offroad Navigator does. You can create iteneraries using Tyre , or by using the houghi.org online Google Maps to TomTom itn converter. I am hoping to use Offroad Navigator to get to some of my frequented locations on a local lake. I used the houghi converter to make a sample itn file just to see what the format looked like. Then I made single itn files for all of the places on the lake that I want to be able to navigate to. (see sample below)
itn file: Lake_Murray_Marina.itn:
-8125415|3411692|Lake_Murray_Marina|1|
c) Can't help you on this one, but it sure would be nice to figure it out. Anyone???

Now my question:
I had 8 geo-referenced maps for the lake that I wanted to be able to navigate. I used Marc Hillman's software to split those 8 maps into 168 maps to feed into Offroad Navigator. I renumbered the maps and created one config.map file that references all 168 maps. (Note: I had to renumber the maps because I had 8 maps originally that covered the lake. When you run the maps through Hillman's software, there isn't a way to name the files, the software does it for you, so I ended up with map numbers 1-21, 8 times.) When I was outside of the lake map coverage area, Offroad Navigator showed the default screen. As soon as I was in the coverage area, Offroad Navigator would crash and go immediately back to the TomTom map. Is there a limit to the number of maps you can put in the config.map file? The software worked flawlessly when I only had a single map coverage. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

1) I will fix this GMT issue in v3.0 version, v9.x compatible version, soon to be delivered

2) this "no files" bug is fixed in v3.0

3) some questions about your maps :
. are they 8bits or 24bits colors bitmaps ?
. are their dimensions multiple of 8 ?
