Showwaypoint v1.0 (Download)

Version française

Functions

ShowWaypoint displays periodically, in a flashing message (upper right corner of the screen), the name of the next non-visited waypoint in an itineray planned with the "Itinerary planning" function.

Setup

The /showwaypoint directory must contain a file called /showwaypoint/config.txt with the following content :

period period_value
message message_value

• message_value defining the prefix displayed before the waypoint name, in the flashing message,
• period_value defining the time gap between two displays.

If the configuration file is missing, the period is set to 30 seconds and the prefix is equal to "Next: ". This configuration file is included in the downloaded zip file.

Limitations and known bugs

There are a lot of limitations and already known problems in this plugins :

• the flashing message will be showed not only when an itinerary is planned thru the "Itinerary planning" function but also when a route is planned thru "Navigate to". The problem is that, when "Navigate to" is used, the waypoint displayed belongs to the last itinerary planned thru "Itinerary planning".
• when driving along an itinerary planned thru "Itinerary planning" and visiting a waypoint, it may remain displayed for a while before the next waypoint is displayed.

These problems are unfortunately impossible to fix at the present moment, with the available functions in the SDK.

Automatic start of ShowWaypoint

• To launch automatically ShowWaypoint at Tomtom boot, create with Notepad or Wordpad a file called cleanup.txt in the root directory of your Tomtom
• Put the following line in this file : daemon|showwaypoint/showwaypoint|
• If this file already exists, for another plugin, just add the line above at the end of this file
• Setup the period value and the message prefix, as described above
• Re-start your Tomtom, a flashing message Starting Showwaypoint v1.0 will be displayed for several seconds at the end of the boot phase. ShowWaypoint is running : as soon as an itinerary will be loaded by the "Itinerary planning" function, ShowWaypoint will display, with the requested period, the name of the next non-visited waypoint.
