Breaking changes: our new Navigation solution partner is Sygic

From TomTom to Sygic:
Over the years our former navigation provider reduced his SDK more and more to drive his own business solutions.
Finally a SDK is no longer available!
Looking for an alternative solution we found www.sygic.com/tomtom-sdk.
Why we recommend Sygic:
  • Good support at first hand
  • A modern Navigation Solution (with actual maps)
  • Native .NET support in the SDK (no need for third party solutions)
  • Many operating systems support including Linux and Android
  • A partner which is even able to adapt the Navigation solution to your needs.

    Is GPS unit/signal required?

    Hi, I plan to buy TTNCF CN to create a mapping program, but I have a question.  Is a GPS signal required, or can I enter a known latitude / longitude as my starting and ending location, then get step-by-step directions?  I don't have a GPS unit but I do know my position.

    Thanks -

    Peter

    Hi,

    TomTom always uses the current postition to start from.
    But you can feed TomTom with GPS data which comes from "somewhere".

    In the samples we include a GPS file with some demo positions to show this functionality.

    Simply change the data in this file to your coords - and it will work.

    Regards

    Manfred
