Are you aware that there is a TomTom SDK? Trouble is you either need to
manage it through Embedded C++, write your own wrappers or purchase a 3rd
..NET library that costs about half as much as the SDK.

In other words, if you have both the SDK and the library you can manipulate
TomTom from VB.Net; mind you, I think TomTom 3 is a bit out of date; isn't
the current release ver5?

Hi,

Who knows how one can feed coordinates from a PDA program into TomTom 3 with
VB.NET2005?

Thanks.

I know, TomTom 3 is out of date, but that is what we get at my company.

I am aware of the SDK, but it my opinion that SDKs should be free of charge,
because it allows programmers to write software that user can user for the
application the SDK is for.
Also for the ammount of money they ask for the SDK, one would expect to be
able to use it with .NET as wel.

I was hoping it would be as simple as placing the coordinates at a certain
location in the registry or as arguments with the execute file.

rg,
Eric

It's not quite as simple as you would best like! There is a third party
C# SDK available, you'll have to search the net, it's 'PPP' something
or other, Swiss or Austrian (?), probably a google on 'PPP TomTom'
would turn it up.
