SDK Overview • Allows you to leverage CoPilot’s real time navigation and messaging functionality from within your application • CoPilot and your application can be on the same or separate machines • Simple and straightforward integration options • Remote Control - controlling CoPilot via simple API calls • Server Configuration - integrating navigation functions into your product

  15. SDK Integration – Remote Control • Send a request to CoPilot, responses are received asynchronously through the use of callbacks or through a queuing mechanism • CoPilot SDK allows you to control CoPilot Live in a request/response paradigm • Send text messages, trip itineraries • Modify window states (show/hide, etc.) • Modify the size, pan/zoom, position, and z-order • Get/Set languages, routing profiles, etc

  16. SDK Integration – Server Configuration • CoPilot runs in a separate hidden background • Via a post/subscribe mechanism receive real time data updates as they become available: • Guidance maps showing location, route, surrounding streets, etc.. • Turn instructions: street name, cross street, turn types • Turn distances: next turn, 2nd turn, ETA, etc.

  17. SDK Details • Provides platform, location and network independence • Any SDK enabled version of CoPilot (laptop, PPC) • Messaging based on TCP/IP • Local or Remote operation • Supported compilers • Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 • Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0 • Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0
