Tripmaster on ONE V3?

jspencer · Posted: Thu Dec 20, 2007 7:53 pm Post subject: Tripmaster on ONE V3?

Has anyone tried installing Tripmaster (http://www.webazar.org/tomtom/tripmaster.php?lang=uk) on a ONE V3? The instructions for installing it include a method to add a Tripmaster button to the menu. But there's no room on the current menu.

I've added the menu file that Mike Alder recommends for bringing back the Itinerary function (http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=59534&start=0), and that works fine.

My question is: can I add a third page to the menu or can I substitute the Tripmaster button for the Traffic button (since I don't plan to use the traffic function) by making changes to the tomtom.mnu file?

Thanks.

Jon

Yes you can add as many pages to the menu as you like, I have had a four page routine running on a Thiord Edition with no problems, although I have never tried Trip Master on this hardware - Mike

I just added a third page to the menu and then added Tripmaster, Suntime, and Reverseitn on the ONE V3. All worked exactly as advertised.

I was playing about with trip master and done all the adjustments to get it to work on my 710. When i go into settings i see what the defaults are, but if i try to alter them i.e the time zone, which is set at +1 when i press to alter it the screen goes 'garbaged' as they say. With this function not working and i cannot put my own settings in then i dont think i would use it but if it could be fixed then maybe.

Does anybody know of any other sites with programs that can be put on to TT like Tripmaster but can do different things also.

If get exactly the same as if1977.

I've done what the site says and it seems to run fine but as soon as you try and change any figures (e.g. speed limits) then it's back to being a garbaged screen.

Anyone know of a workaround? I'm a bit doubtful as the site says :

"These plugins work only on the following Tomtom devices, in v6 version : GOx10, GOx00, Rider, One and OneV2 !

Tripmaster v1.8, Offroad Navigator v1.7, ReverseItn v1.4 and Suntime v1.7 work in v6 version on the Rider 2, after a modification in the configuration file. In v7 version, with the same modification, they also work on One XL and GOx20. "

The seems to exclude v7 and GOx10 devices. Confused

I've been playing with Tripmaster on the V3. The track recording parameters need some careful adjustment. The default configuration (trackperiod 30 seconds, trackdistance 1 mile, trackcourse 45 degrees) is much too coarse -- the track doesn't follow curves well at all in this configuration. I tried setting trackperiod to 1 (1 trackpoint/sec) but Tripmaster, at least on the V3, couldn't keep up with this, and at best did about 1 trackpoint every 4-5 seconds. And Tripmaster was very slow to respond to commands in this configuration. A couple of times I got it so bolluxed up it froze for a full minute before it sorted itself out.

So far, the best configuration seems to be trackperiod=15 seconds, trackdistance=0.25 mile, and trackcourse=15 degrees. Next I will try lowering trackperiod to 10 seconds and trackdistance to 0.2 miles. We'll see how that works.

jspencer, if I'm running Tripmaster in metric, would I set the track distance at, say, 0.5?

With the revised settings (trackcourse=15 degrees, trackperiod=10 seconds, and trackdistance=0.2 miles) in Tripmaster, I did our once-a-year trek out to the mother-in-laws for Christmas. The track it produced was quite good, with only a couple of places where Tripmaster seemed to take short nap and miss a couple of points, resulting in the track cutting a corner.

I have to play with it a bit more, but my impression is that Tripmaster does a better job of storing the points than it does displaying the data. For some reason the Tripmaster display seems to freeze up occasionally (for example, showing the last measurement before coming to stop, so you sit at a red light with the speed showing as 13 mph while you are stationary).

Not sure what this is about -- the TT's normal display seems to be consistently right on the mark. Maybe Tripmaster has lower priority with the processor and gets ignored when the main routines are especially active.
