- CoDriver Installation
-
- In-car navigation for the Psion 5.
-
- Installation
-
- The program is downloadable as a "zip" file, which contains this "readme"
- and the "sis" installation file for the Psion. Once "unzipped" (using the
- "unzip" program widely available for the PC or Psion) all that needs to be
- done is to double click on the "sis" file on your PC, or double tap on it
- on your Psion, and the program should be installed on your Psion.
-
- Note that this does not work if you have the old (2.0) version of PsiWin.
- If this is the case, the easiest option is to download "setup.exe" from
- Psion's website -
- http://www.psion.com/downloads/epoc32/epocinstall/setup.exe
- Once installed on your Psion, this gives you an "install program" option,
- which can be used to install the "codriver.sis" file. Hope that's not too
- complicated!
-
- Once installed, CoDriver should appear as an icon on the "Extras" menu and
- can be run from there. Detailed help is available from within the program
- by choosing "Help" on the tools menu.
-
- The program will initially load a example route, but you will want to
- import a route from your own routefinding program before you use the
- program to take you anywhere. Choose "Import" from the File menu, and
- follow the instructions from there. Note, importing routes is the most
- complicated part of CoDriver, and you might like to read the "Help" first!
-
- Registration
-
- Registration costs ú15 and removes the nag screen, entitles you to use
- beyond an evaluation period and encourages me to go on developing the
- program.
- You can register by post, address given in the program, or online by credit
- card at http://www.reg.net
- The Reg.net id number is 4327.

- Version History
-
-
- 9/3/99 Version 1.00 released.
-
- 10/3/99 Distribution file altered to "sis" - thanks to Steve Lichfield
- for his help in this.
- 11/3/99 Version 1.01 released.
- * Bug fixes -
- Import from Psion RoutePlanner was crashing more often than
- not. Changed so RoutePlanner uses the LaserJet III printer
- driver (slower but more predictable than the General one) and
- rewrote the import routine accordingly.
- Error during import no longer leaves a blank screen but
- reverts to beginning of previous route.
- Non-open RoutePlanner produces prompt.
- Recognises French and German "Left"/"Right", although
- automatic import from RoutePlanner still fails in these
- languages due to different keyboard shortcuts. Manual import
- works.
- The .ini file couldn't be read for Continental users who use
- commas as decimal points. Fixed.
- 13/3/99 Version 1.02 released.
- * Bug fixes -
- Progress bar now keeps correct position on route when stepping
- backwards manually (it was getting left behind before).
- Reinstated error handling for Import (which had accidentally
- got turned off while I was debugging 1.00 and not turned back
- on!). Also made it rather more informative depending on the
- likely type of error.
- Autoswitchoff is now only disabled while the program is in the
- foreground.
- * New Features -
- Limited international support. CoDriver can now import
- automatically from German and French versions of RoutePlanner.
- (Note it still gives you instructions in English, but it will
- now at least work!)
- 14/3/99 Version 1.03
- * New Features -
- When road numbers are displayed by RoutePlanner as eg A20/E15,
- CoDriver now takes the first of these not the second (which
- doesn't seem to be used anywhere. Does anyone use these E
- numbers?!).
- Greater accuracy in GPS mode with RoutePlanner routes (2%
- "fudge factor" added, since RoutePlanner usually
- underestimates distances slightly).
- Added registration details for online registration through
- www.reg.net.
