Req Currency software - auto updating exchange rates - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Im looking for a software that will allow me to calculate values in different currencies and which will automatically download the latest exchange rate via the internet.
Of course I need something that will work fine with our VGA screen.
Planning a bit of travelling so this would be very useful. Anyone have any suggestions?

currencyconv, just google it!! it's freeware and simple.

Aviation GPS software for Kaiser

Hello all.
I have had my Kaiser for over a month now and I am VERY pleased with it. The only "little" quirk I have is that i really don't need TomTom.
Does anyone know of an "aviation style" GPS program that would work? I don't need street type navigation, but it would be interesting to test it against the systems we have in our aircraft.
Any help finding this kind of software would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dominic
'Aviation style' GPS software
Hi Dominic,
i'm using OziExplorerCE (www.oziexplorer.com) on my Kaiser and it works fine. I'm using this software since many years on all the PPCs i've ever used (and these were a lot...)
You can use your own maps and calibrate them with desktop version ov OciExplorer. Both are available as trial on the website. You will also find a number of maps on the web.
Regards
Waldi
Dominic,
I want to do the same
Try www.Pocketfms.com ... it is a bit complicated to install, and ... do NOT install too many FIRs to begin with.
You can get a 30 day trial version.
Thanks guys. I will try those 2 and see.
Dominic
I'm using CompeGPS Air .
www.compegps.com
It's quite easy to use and very stable with a lot of fonctionnality.
You can have a try.

You may want to look at some of these and evaluate. There are some nuggets here... some are free
enjoy!
Nice aviation software
there is a really good moving map application for free. It is calles xc-soar. It was written by glider pilot.. however it is a fantastic software.. and it is for free!!
I haven't had a chance to run it on my Kaiser.. however it works fine with the IPAQ 3870.

Is there any GPS mapping software that has the entire US preloaded? IE: you don't need to create localized maps. I'm not looking for anything high rez or complicated, I'm looking for something that will show me where I am in the US while flying. Maybe a simple vector map with major cities, statelines, etc. I fly commercial a lot and would like to track where I am in-flight.

Thanks

I cannot install the HTC apps, it says:
"Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again"
(Swiss Orange TyTNII, Dutty's v3)
Is there a workaround?
otherwise maybe this app would do the job

thx, i think it's the same app, but before i spend money i don't have, ill rather look for a free way
IP Dashboard
I use IP Dashboard. Simple and effective. Here have a look..

Any free ones arround?

Web Camera Plus

I just purchased the program to turn my phone into a Webcam. I don't have a skype friend yet so I can't test the program. I bought it because it was only 20.00. I was always looking for something like this. Anyone else you this program? I wanted to know what settings you guys had on your program for optimal performance. BTW if any of you have skype message me I would love to test this unless you can recommend a free IM program that includes webcam capabilities.
I use it, mostly with MSN Messenger but it will work just the same with Skype.
My settings are as below.
Cool appreciate it. Does it have that lip sync affect. I don't mind it too much because it's a good program made for a ppc. Thanks alot man.

Windows Mobile Equivalent Apps (Equivalent to Symbian S60 V3)

Hello again,
As I mentioned in a previous thread, I’m due to upgrade my handset in the coming weeks from an N95 to the Touch Diamond (MDA Compact 4)... I have some really good apps on the N95 which I rely on a lot. I was wondering if anyone knew of any WM6.1 alternatives to the following apps...
Nokia Internet Radio
http://europe.nokia.com/A4668051
Hundreds of streaming radio stations over WiFi or HSDPA
Shazam ID
http://www.shazam.com/music/portal/page/default/template/pages/p/shazam_id.html
Music track identification - the app records a sample of the track and tells you the name and artist via data connection WiFi or HSDPA.
Nokia Sports Tracker
http://www.nokia.com/A4388200
GPS Tracking of my sports activity (running / cycling etc) routes viewable in google earth via KML file.
Nokia Conversation
http://www.nokia.com/A4568203
View text messages listed by contact as opposed to going to inbox and sent items separately
I've already checked my other key apps:
Shozu
JoikuSpot
Route 66
And they all appear to support HTC devices such as the Cruise and the Kaiser etc, so I should be ok there.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated - not sure if i should of used a different forum for this really.... if a mod feels ti should be moved please go ahead
Garry
1) the original wm 6.1 text messaging shows you both the send and received at the same time and you can also see them while you r typing so you could reply back to the received questions
2) there is also a program for internet radio on the htc, i have used it and it is perfect. it think it is spb radio. check it out
Excellent, thats a good start Thanks!
Anyone have any alternatives to Shazam and Sports Tracker?
Alternative for sportstracker is RUNGPS
Ah sweet! Thanks lappie!!
after some searching i found tthese....theres probably better ones but the results looked promising:

http://thinkabdul.com/2007/06/17/fr...t-album-info-of-recorded-music-clipsongsound/
Another nice Symbian application is Nokia's Lifeblog, overall due to its ability to get synchronised with the PC client... Is there any equivalent in the PPC world?

Thats brilliant, thank you very much
Ya truly something like Nokia Lifeblog in PPC will be truely appriciated..
New here and also looking into moving off Symbian and over to WM... scary stuff ;-)
We do a lot of geocaching and having Geocache Navigator installed on the N95 is great (when a phone signal is present of course) to find cache's close by or check on cache details without having to take printed pages along. It will also guide you via a compass and bearing to the Lat Long location of the cache...
Any apps specifically for geocacher's that will interact with the geocahce web site / data base ?
cheers
Shazam ID works on Diamond
I have Shazam ID working on the Diamond. One problem.... I have to reset the Diamond each time I use the program. For some reason it will not shutdown properly because it is not made for a touch phone. Maybe someone knows how to use it better???

the version you are using (musidid) looks like absolute crap on the VGA screen. very distorted. Its so sad there is no decent version of shazam on windows mobile - I used to use it all the time.

Thanks for your response. If i install another rom, will i lose all my existing settings/programs/ and contacts?
And also where can I get other roms from? (Sorry to sound stupid, but just like to be double sure).
Thanks in advance!!1
Also no RPD build-in for me!!
Just install thisone, work perfect
Okay I have this installed on my diamond and have a few questions.
Im remoting onto a vista laptop, Im connecting okay.. however no matter what I set in the remote desktop mobile options, I cannot see any mapping for my handheld device to transfer files. Ive tried My Computer, Ive tried Network.. nothing. Why? Any advice?
Secondly, the pocketnow video demonstrating remote desktop mobile being run on the diamond in landscape mode. I see no option for this.. how can it be done?
Thirdly, if you run remote desktop mobile in full screen you seem to lose access to the disconnect button and SIP. Any suggestions?
The CAB file works great for me, but it's not possible to access the telephone's memory through the explorer on the remote machine, like described here: http://www.pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=5454
So it's not possible to get music from home for example... Does anyone know, why? Of course it's possible to put the requested files into a apache-folder and download it using opera, but thats not the best way.
I didn't see the message from "darthbane2k", but my questions are the same
I'm guessing the CAB file on the previous page is an older version with less features. Parhaps one from WM6, not WM6.1?
+1 for someone who would like the cab file for the latest-and-greatest Remote Desktop client for WM6.1
..am currently looking at two Diamonds (my now TLR2-based test unit and my 1.37.401.3-based stock production unit) and neither have it installed, however I do vaguely remember seeing it a while back on he test unit which originally was a HK import and thus old ROM. Guessing now removed (in some markets at least)?
Cheers.
Nope.. I definately have the new version as the allow device mapping is in the options. Even when ticked, I still cannot see my mapped device when connecting to a remote computer (Vista home premium)
It works fine on my diamond, both within the LAN as well as per 3G. However is there a possibility to get keyboard to be able to enter things as well?

Yup, it's plain WM6, not 6.1.
WM6.1 RDP
It did not work for me either.
So I started a petition on this blog http://max.zamorsky.name/2008/11/04...bile-into-touch-diamond-and-all-current-roms/ to collect comments as a means to persuade HTC and Microsoft to include RDP in every ROM by default.
They seem to misunderstand who their lead-users are...
Please comment to help me make our lives easier.
