That Navigation UI and backend was a proof of concept. Works fine, easy to use and simple etc, but it was more or less the result of “Can I hard code a GPS NAV System from scratch if I have too” (proof of concept). Whether we use it or not, I do not know yet. Do not work offline for sure (based off the Microsoft’s Bing REST API). It is amazingly accurate ad smart however and chances that I leave it as it is (simple) is very likely.

You’ve mentioned Sygic. My favorite also! Works offline and done professionally. I’ve already made friends with Peter Schubert (CEO - Automotive Division) and Jakub Daučo (Project Manager) at Sygic who are both convinced they can adapt their product to the best of the world Porsche Car Infotainmnet System. If it comes to a point where the kit gain popularity, they are happy to give us access to their API/key whether we code it ourselfves, OR they can do it for us also. SYGIC is by far the best option (if you guys are after something that look & feel “professional” anyway).

As for the OpenStreetMap that all Asian kits are based onto, well, yea I’ve done the coding on it and ended up driving in ONE-WAY street out of London while I was testing it. It was turning me into bus lane-only also. Read Not-So-Smart LOLLL but there… we can’t expect everything from something that is FREE, right! So I’ve ditched this idea pretty quick.

GPS/kit works with Google also, and so is with Google Earth. The latest being killer fun lollllll

So you see… possibilities are endless and finding the “one-and-only” best solution for “everybody” is simply impossible folks.

At the end of the day what will (/may) happen is; I’ll make the kit available and whatever you do with it is your business. Unless of course it comes to a point where everybody wants/need the kit then we’ll get Peter (Sygic) involved fulltime in this. He is more than willing to participate in this project.

^ In fact, Peter and Jakub are the only developers I’ve managed to find so far (you folks are wayyyyyy too lazy for my taste LOLLL)
