Main Screen of GPSimply
GPSimply:
GPSimply is NOT intended as a primary navigation instrument. GPSimply is NOT suitable for road navigation. GPSimply is supplied "as-is" WITHOUT ANY GUARANTEE.
USE IT CAREFULLY, AT YOUR OWN RISK, OR DO NOT USE IT AT ALL!


The main purpose of GPSimply is to tell you in which direction is your next destination ("Bearing"), and how far it is ("Distance"). It handles just one destination at a time, selectable from a set that you will have previously defined; therefore we use the words "next destination", "target", "waypoint" in an interchangeable way.
There are only three screens (in addition to the splash screen): the main screen depicted above (see it with legenda in the
small manual), the current waypoint screen and the waypoint selection screen.

The Bearing is shown in graphic form (in addition to the textual form); it is the small red arrow inside the circle; if it appears on the right half of the circle, steer right, and viceversa; the other small red arrow, external to the circle, is fixed on the top of the screen and indicates your current direction ("Course"): if the two arrows are aligned you are going in the direction of your target. A similar info is given, at greater drawing scale, by the Off-Course Indicator a the center of the "Compass".
Usage of a plastic stylus is reccomended for best control.

I have succesully tested GPSimply on my Mio C710, which is equipped with Windows CE NET 4.2 and an ARM920 processor.
Users reported successful installation and test also on Mio C510 and on Mio C310.
Installation requires unlocking the navigator (same procedure and tools as for Mio 310 and 510,
see http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=61233).

I think that GPSimply should installable on other similar machine manufactured by Mio-Tech and perhaps some others.
