It's Been To Long

I'm sorry that I've published nothing here for such a long time. Too busy, I know, that's everybody's excuse...

Yes, I still use the Everun on a daily base. The last weeks I have tested the Everun as car navigation tool. I had an old car holder, for an HP Jornada 710 (remember?), so I could put the Everun in a comfortable place in the car.
For navigation on my PDA's I use mainly Route66, sometimes TomTom, and for geocaching I use Teletype. Fortenately, the latter can also be installed on a normal PC, and thus now runs on my Everun. Hook the Everun via Bluetooth on a GPS receiver and on you go!



Teletype is not a good navigation application, not compared to R66, TomTom etc. But it works, and you can customize it a lot. And you've got a hell of a big screen there. The software runs in 2D and 3D, you can route from address to address or waypoint, and you get voice instructions where to go.



Unfortenately, on a pc -and thus the Everun- the buttons and menu's are very small. It's very had to control the software with you fingers. You need a styles for that, and using a styles in a moving car is very tricky, let alone dangerous.
Since I don't have a car charger, I have to trust the Everun's battery. In general, I travel for about 2,5 hours. When I also use the Everun as a musicplayer, the battery is almost flat at the end of the day. Using the Everun solely for navigation gives me about an hour left.



Anyway, I like using the Everun as car navigation. Another application of the Everun...
