Can you give us more details about features missing in viking for a good routing software? Personnally, I have some ideas about routing stuff in viking. First of all, I think we have to generalize the code in order to use different routing services (like I did for the "Go to" feature). Next, I don't feel the "magic scisor" really user friendly nor intuitive (some friends of mine were surprised when I explain them what is this feature). So, I imagined some other way to prepare the request for a generic "routing service". One of them can be: 1) create a track starting at your starting point and ending at your destination 2) eventually, add trackpoints if you need to go through somel checkpoints 2) use a "filter" to request a real route using these checkpoints. 3) you obtain the real route as a new track As editing track is not really simple (at least nowadays), perhaps can we use waypoints instead: 1) creat as many waypoints as needed 2) order them by name 3) use a filter on the TRW layer to request a route 4) you obtain the real route as a new track These are my ideas for this feature. -- Guilhem BONNEFILLE -=- JID: gu...@im.apinc.org MSN: guilhem_bonnefi...@hotmail.com -=- mailto:guilhem.bonnefi...@gmail.com -=- http://nathguil.free.fr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Viking-devel mailing list Viking-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/viking-devel Viking home page: http://viking.sf.net/
