Knav 7" Gps

[TF2]

I bought one of the 7 inch gps from ebay and have loaded Ozi on it, but have found the key board that is displayed when needing to enter info into Ozi is very small even when using the stylus. Does anyone know if the size of the keyboard can be increased???

I am interested in the information you find, I thinking of one of these 7" GPS units.

Being Windows CE, it should have font size, change to large or it could be under keyboard. all found in settings

microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer: Re: How to resize SIP?

Now I can resize the with the function below, but I can't modify the
initial size of the board. And the SIP resize itelf ony after hide it
and showing again.
static IIMCallback* g_pIMCallback;
.
.
.
.
void changeBoardSize (HWND hwnd) {
IMINFO iminfo;
RECT rt, rtCliens, re;
BeginPaint(hwnd, &ps);
GetWindowRect(hwnd, &rtCliens);
rt.left=rtCliens.left;
rt.top=rtCliens.bottom-board[actboard][0];
rt.right=rtCliens.right;
rt.bottom=rtCliens.bottom;
iminfo.rcSipRect=rt;
g_pIMCallback->SetImInfo(&iminfo);

EndPaint(hwnd, &ps);
InvalidateRect(hwnd, &rt, true);
drawboard(actboard, hwnd);
UpdateWindow(hwnd);
}
The initial size informations are in this function I think. But I can
enter everything for the height, the initial size don't change.
STDMETHODIMP CInputMethod::GetInfo( IMINFO *pimi )
{
HBITMAP hbm;
if( !g_hImagelistWide )
{
g_hImagelistWide = ImageList_Create(
32,
16,
ILC_COLOR | ILC_MASK,
1,
1 );
g_hImagelistNarrow = ImageList_Create(
16,
16,
ILC_COLOR | ILC_MASK,
1,
1 );
if( hbm = LoadBitmap( g_hInstDll, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_WIDE1) ) )
{
ImageList_AddMasked( g_hImagelistWide, hbm, RGB(192,192,192) );
DeleteObject( hbm );
}
if( hbm = LoadBitmap( g_hInstDll, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_NARROW1) ) )
{
ImageList_AddMasked( g_hImagelistNarrow, hbm,
RGB(192,192,192) );
DeleteObject( hbm );
}
}
pimi->fdwFlags = SIPF_DOCKED;
pimi->hImageNarrow = (HANDLE)g_hImagelistNarrow;
pimi->hImageWide = (HANDLE)g_hImagelistWide;
pimi->iNarrow = pimi->iWide = 0;
pimi->rcSipRect.left = 0;
pimi->rcSipRect.top = 0;
pimi->rcSipRect.right = 240,
pimi->rcSipRect.bottom = 80;

return NOERROR;
}
I know, I must to use any of the functions in the help:
\Microsoft Windows CE\API referene\Input Panel\Interfaces\
But I could not realize connection beetwen the help and beetween the
sample program.
Additional info from the readme.txt:
1. The system calls the dll containing the code for the custom SIP
mechanism, which implements the IInputMethod interface.
2. The Select method is called to create the input window using the
Dvorak keyboard bitmap.
3. The system calls GetInfo to get information in an IMINFO structure
about the size and other aspects of the input context.
4. The system calls ReceiveSipInfo to inform the input method of size,
placement information. It should react to this call by resizing itself
appropriately.
5. Finally, RegisterCallback is called to give the input method a
pointer to a IMCallBack interface. This interface is used to return
keystrokes to applications.
6. When the user taps a key on the keyboard, the input method recognizes
the mouse event location on its keyboard bitmap. It scans the bitmap
horizontally and vertically to place the tap inside a particular key.
7. A large array on constants is maintained defining the value of each
key on the keyboard and its pixel location so this scanning mechanism
can be accomplished.
8. The keystroke is processed and various flags are checked such as CAPS
lock, shift, etc. Once the proper keystroke has been determined, it is
returned to the application using the IICallBack:SendCharEvents method.
IICallBack: SendVirtualKey is used if the virtual key code is desired
(an example could be when the windows key was pressed if such a key
exists on the keyboard). Virtual key codes are defined in Windows CE
help.
9. The state of the keyboard is updated as the key is no longer pressed.
Code must be careful to check for sticky keys such as CAPS in this
situation.

Under control Panel - Input Panel, select options. Select Large Keys and OK back out. The key size will be bigger but the panel size remains the same size.

My on screen keyboard in OziCE is very small but usable. I have only used it to put in the registration details. To enter all the other details I have found it easier to record these in a small pocket notebook (old fashioned writing pad - which you can update on the go very quickly) and then on my return update the tracks and way points etc on my PC using the normal keyboard in my office. Or if I am really keen on my HP mini notebook while I am away. But I can't see this happening anytime soon as it detracts from the camping, 4WD driving, fishing and drinking time...

also interested in one of these units has anyone been able to find any tutorials for using topo maps on these units ie ozi or itoppo

[Cuvier100]

The HEMA tutorials for OziCE should achieve what you want. OziCE is just about identical on all types of PDAs GPS etc. The KNAV 7" has a much larger screen and better resolution. See:

Video Tutorials / Guides

Thanks for the input. This may be a silly question but how do I access control panel? On the KNAV unit when you turn it on it comes up with a screen that only appears to allow me to select the GPS, music, photos,bluetooth etc and a settings icon which takes me to a new page but seemingly does not give access to control panel.

[bmurray2250]

Besides the keyboard issue, is everything else working well? Any issues? Rating out of 10 for the unit. I am looking to purchase either the 6" or 7" KNAV soon

[TF2]

I would give it a 9 out of 10. Have bought 2 so far for $214 + $25 frt. The only concern is the mount has a little more movement in the joint than I would like but should be able to solve the problem with a shim or something just haven't got around to having a look yet. So I guess it can't be that bad.
