In simple pseudo-code:
if FtrGet(navFtrCreator, navFtrversion) succeeds
It has a T3-style navigator/API
else
if FtrGet(sysFileCSystem, sysFtrNumFiveWayNavVersion) succeeds
It supports the T5/Treo650 navigator API. You could add a call to
FtrGet(sysFileCSystem, sysFtrNumUIHardwareFlags) to see if it
actually has the navigator hardware. Note that this call fails on
the T5 simulator, which sucks (are you listening palmOne?).
else
if FtrGet(hsFtrCreator, hsFtrIDNavigationSupported) succeeds
It supports the Treo600 navigator API
endif
endif
endif
If none of the FtrGets succeed, there is no navigator.
