Hi Peter

Any update on this?  Were you able to recreate it?

Thanks in advance

Dave

Hi Folks,

I have been struggling with the same problem and was wondering if any progress has been made with this?

From what I can see in my code (listed below) the StartApplication() call does not do anything. Using the process viewer supplied with Visual Studio 2005 when this line of code executes, it would appear that a new process is not created - should this be the case? I would have thought the opposite would occur and a process would be created. Also, if I step through the following code and use the IsApplicationRunning method to determine if TomTom Nav has been opened from code, it consistenly returns false:

Code:
If SatNav.IsApplicationRunning.Equals(False) Then
    'Start TomTom Application.
    SatNav.StartApplication()
End If

Intermediate Window Output based on the start of the if statement and end of the if statement:
?satnav.isapplicationrunning
False
?satnav.isapplicationrunning
False

Below is the code I am implementing:

Public Class frmGPS
    Private SatNav As New InTheHand.TomTom.Navigator
    Private Sub btnTomTom_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnTomTom.Click

End Class

Below is the exception generated when running the code:

I am using Vb.Net 2005, Compact Framework 2 Sp2, TomTom Navigator (According to the ApplicationVersion class) Major Version: 6; Minor Version: 0; Revision -1; Build 7370, TomTom SDK 6.010_7721 and Windows Mobile 5.

Cheers, all help gratefully and gladly received - thanks in advance!

I've been doing some more test work around the navigate to address issues. It appears that what is occuring is a timeout within the wrapper because TomTom doesn't return a result code until it has finished creating the route - for a long journey this can take a considerable time. I'm working on an update which supports a much longer timeout. I will also look into implementing Async versions of the functions.

Peter

Are there any new developments in the address issues?

I'm having the same response(NoResponse -2) on more functions:

- SwitchToNavigatorView

- ShowAddressOnMap

- NavigateToPostalCode

I'm running the SdkVersion 0.6.1.0 and TomTom 6.030 Build 8320.

Version 6.2 was released last week and has a number of underlying changes to cure some of these NoResponse timeouts. Please see the announcement for details of how to download the latest version:-

Hi Peter,

Thanx for the fast response.

I've installed the 6.2 version, still get the errors only its takes a few seconds(20?) before i get the NoResponse timeouts.

Is this a common problem? Or has this got to do something with my programming?

        Try
            Dim a As New TomTom.Navigator
            If Not a.IsApplicationRunning Then
                a.StartApplication()
            End If
            a.SwitchToNavigatorView()
            ' a.ShowAddressOnMap("Zwolle", "Papaverstraat", "13", "8012")
            a.NavigateToPostalCode("NL", "8012EA", "13")

        Catch ex As InTheHand.TomTom.TomTomException
            MessageBox.Show(String.Format("{0} : {1}", ex.Message, ex.Error.ToString))
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
        End Try
 

Which command raises the exception - is it SwitchToNavigatorView or NavigateToPostcode. Can you describe what happens in the TomTom application during this time.

Peter

The following happends:

Test 1: TomTom not running:

Dim a As New TomTom.Navigator         : Initialize
If Not a.IsApplicationRunning Then        : IsApplicationRunning = False
    a.StartApplication()                          : TomTom starts on top, takes a fraction of a sec to continue
End If
a.SwitchToNavigatorView()                    : TomTom has started in navigator view so nothing(visibly) happends.(see included image)
a.ShowAddressOnMap("Zwolle", "Papaverstraat", "13", "8012")       : After 28 seconds i get the TomTomException 'NoResponse'

Test 2: TomTom running in the background:

Dim a As New TomTom.Navigator         : Initialize
If Not a.IsApplicationRunning Then        : IsApplicationRunning = True
    a.StartApplication()                          : Skips
End If
a.SwitchToNavigatorView()                    : TomTom is running in the background, so there is nothing to see.
a.ShowAddressOnMap("Zwolle", "Papaverstraat", "13", "8012")       : After 28 seconds i get the TomTomException 'NoResponse'

I also tried it with active and inactive GPS(its a tomtom bluetooth device).

I don't think you can use ShowAddressOnMap after SwitchToNavigatorView. However have you tried Geocoding first, and then calling ShowCoordinatesOnMap?

 Peter

Peter,

I've tried the following:

            Dim a As New TomTom.Navigator
            If Not a.IsApplicationRunning Then
                a.StartApplication()
            End If
            Dim b As TomTom.GeocodeInfo
            b = a.Geocode("Zwolle")

Which resulted in the following exception:
{"TomTomException"}
    Error: MethodFailed {-5}
    InnerException: Nothing
    Message: "TomTomException"
    StackTrace: "bij InTheHand.TomTom.Navigator.CheckResult()

            Dim a As New TomTom.Navigator
            If Not a.IsApplicationRunning Then
                a.StartApplication()
            End If
            Dim b As TomTom.GeocodeInfo
            b = a.GeocodeByPostalCode("NL", "8012EA", "13")

Which resulted in the following exception:
{"TomTomException"}
    Error: -8
    InnerException: Nothing
    Message: "TomTomException"
    StackTrace: "bij InTheHand.TomTom.Navigator.CheckResult()

The interresting thing is when TomTom is running before i start my application then i get a NoResponse(-2) error.

Maybe its a bit far fetched but could globalization have anything to do with it? I'm running dutch versions of CE and TomTom...
