      information such as speed, heading and number of satellites
      is available.
    • -Map Monkey SDK (MonkeyTalk)

      very easy to create your own plugins or embed and integrate
      Map Monkey fully in your application.
    • -Speed Camera Detection
      Map Monkey can now notify you of approaching speed cameras.
      Cameras can also be easily added or removed from the database
      via a buttons on the main toolbar

      You can define hotkeys to scroll the map and also return to the home
      position.

      positions) by modifying the skin.
    • -Destinator Skins
      Each skin can now have it's own individual "Destinator Skin"
      allowing you to change the scrollbar / fonts / internal
      buttons of destinator without effecting other skins.
    • -Line Mute on Maneuevers
      As well as Winamp and Frodo control when approaching a maneuver,
      You can now optionally mute a sound line on your system.

      On the configuration screen, you can now choose to import all
      of the speed cameras of your chosen database straight into

      speed warning that will alert you when reach a certain speed.

      Any new types of camera can also have sounds made for them
      by creating a wave file and calling it Warning[x]_[TYPE].wav
      and placing it in the WAVE folder.

      the current database to a CSV file.

      This will help keep directions at a safe & suitable level even
      when the music is loud.

      The client and frontend have been merged into a single application.
      This will greately increase the speed of operation.

      preset speed.

      skinnable zoom buttons and zoom hotkeys)

      unsuccessfull testing.

      without needing to replace the preset keys

    • -Close Message freezing Destinator
      When an application sent a window close message to the
      frontend it froze up. This is now resolved.
