How to get TMC over fm radio - Touch Cruise General

Hi,
the fm radio in my Polaris can resolve RDS information from the stations. In this RDS data are traffic data too.
But how can I or my Navigon 6 read this data? Is there any driver or tool to redirect this data to a vitual Com-Port?

No such a program does not exist.
TDO

Yeah, I am also lookig for something of that kind, if you get to know something by chance, please report it here.

"How to get TMC over fm radio"
I hate it when people post threads where the subject ought to be a question but which isn't and therefore actually implies that the OP knows and is about to post the solution.

Another radio application?

I like the radio receiver of Windows mobile, but is there another radio receiver software? If anyone is an expert, please tell me what API I can use for programming to get the radio signal(FM, AM ... not Bluetooth, Wifi, GPRS, GSM, CDMA) for processing? Thank you very much

Thank you for your link . They are very interesting but really they are not the ones I am looking for. Do you know other info or websites about Radio(AM, FM) software receiver for mobile phone or any API to program about that in windows mobile?

OIC - so, you want a software using the built-in FM receiver? I think they're all model-specific - I don't think these radio modules have a standardized interface. You could, however, repost your q to the Dev forum here.
Just a little busy at this moment. Can you move this thread to Dev Forum for me plz ?
Thank you very much.

TMC Receiver since it has an FM radio

IS tmc possible wit this device since it has an internal FM radio for tools like IGO 2008 or something?
Thnx
It should be possible to write a driver that will extract tmc out of rds and deliver it using opentmc. But since there is no such driver yet, one would have to write it from stretch. That would be a huge work to do.
So it would be good to start a new SF-Project... rds for htc
I don't think the radio is RDS. I know it was advertised as such, but I've used the radio quite a bit already and believe me, I've found no RDS option and nor does it autofrequency a channel. es it autostores, but no it doesn't automatically find alternative frequencies for a tuned radio channel.
Grrrr.

It has not to autofrequency a channel to be rds-able. If you get some informations like radio station name, then it is rds.
Yah. Fair comment. I suppose I was just a little surprised that it doesn't automatically find alternative frequencies; for me, it's one of the most useful functions of RDS, especially when I'm on my motorbike or on the train, etc.
I have the Raphael here in the Netherlands.
The radio application is pretty limited but it does show the RDS text which the radio sends like radio station name, traffic info and current playing songs.
Autofrequency is just one more feature brought you by rds. It sends a flag and than your radio can switch over if signal becomes weak. But the application have to support this. If you buy a real cheap auto radio than you'll miss a lot of this features.
But since TMC is only a common RDS package with an other flag, one should be able to use this.

TomTom 7.451 + Maps + TMC RDS?

Hey people,
I've had my touch pro for a few days and im LOVING it!
I installed TomTom and got me some maps, but now I was wondering if I can activate TMC via RDS of the FM Radio.. since HTC has one built-in!
TMC is the traffic radio and gives information about accidents and roadblocks etc.. it would be very useful and FREE!
Have been a big fan of tomtom for more 4 years, I never hear of tomtom and "activate TMC via RDS of the FM Radio" Tomtom does provide plus services (weather, traffic, etc...) but it costs 10$/month; however, they still not allow to run on tomtom 7 yet.
They made TMC devices for TomTom Go, and said it wasnt going to be available for the PDA (they were talking about TT6).
So im not sure.. maybe if some skilled scripter would make a script.. ill mail tomtom to ask fro more info..
If I'm not mistaken, TMC for Tomtom is downloaded via GPRS, not with RDS.

True and by the way for FM radio use you need the headset to be plugged in...
I know the chipset in our phones supports TMC but im not sure you can have both TMC and the radio features available at the same time, if not it would make sense for HTC to enable the fm radio instead as it is a saleable feature of the phone (much more so than TMC for most of their customers)

hi all,
can anybody give me the link of tomtom software and maps that i can download for free???
Thank you...
The cab can be found on the forum - do a search for TTN7 but you will have to pay for maps.
Please don't ask members for free maps unless you want to be banned from the forum.

more noob help please!

I have successfully flashed my first rom onto my new Fuze. My question is how to get the gps going for driving? I have these apps in the gps folder-
chartcross gps
htc gps tool
visual gpsce
quick gps
google maps
Don't know what I need to do here, seems all of these just run tests. Does anyone know of a free, easy to use app for driving? I am in the US. Please let me know via reply or pm.
Thanks again to everyone on the forum for all of the help!
i think you are looking for a navigation software, there is a number of them that you can install, from the professional, TomTom, Garmin, iGO, these are for money, and others are available that are (still) free, e.g. Navit and nav4all. google maps can help in the begining as it can give directions (no audio). and i still continue to use now to search for addresses of places to go to.
Thanks, I'll give Navit a try...
Do you have a favorite?
TomTom is currently the one
Why did you post this in general? although it does classify as a general GPS question, you probably would get more replies if you posted it in the Raphael Software forum.
My current favorite Navigation software is iGO8.
ALSO if you have a data plan, enable aGPS, it helps you get a GPS lock faster and keep your quickGPS up to date.

[Q] Radio FM Tuner

Hello, I'm new here, and ashamed to say that while I like PDAs and know how to operate my Touch 2, I'm a complete newbie about their most advanced features.
I was looking for a more sophisticated FM radio tuner, as I'm not really satisfied with the one bundled with my ROM. I found Power Radio here on the site, but couldn't really understand if my model is supported or not: I found many pages regarding a possible installation on HTC Mega (but I seem to have issues with GFMAPI), one suggestion to rename the FMSDKWrapper.dll file (which I couldn't find on my PDA), and many other technical pages which I couldn't understand. However, after many wanderings I think that the correct answer is that Power Radio is not for me.
So, up to my question. Do you know any other sound FM radio tuner to substitute the crappy one on my Touch 2? Note, I'm not looking for an internet radio tuner, I don't want to connect to the Net.
Thank you.
