What's new in Tripmaster v3.1 ?

Tripmaster v3.1 works on Tomtom v8.x or v9.x navcore, but it has no more the sound speed alarm functionality as these navcore versions do not
provide a sound functionality to third party applications.
If you are using Tomtom v8.x or v9.x navcore, you must install Tripmaster v3.1 and another program to solve v8.x or v9.x problem with plugins
.
If you are using another Tomtom navcore version than v8.x or v9.x and if you've already installed Tripmaster v2.4a, you can keep it, because
Tripmaster v2.5 doesn't bring any new functionality. If you're installing Tripmaster for the first time, go ahead and install v3.1 which evidently
includes all Tripmaster's features, except sound alarms.
Known problems : this version doesn't work on One V3 where it can't even be launched.
How to install Tripmaster ?
Tripmaster can not be installed with Tomtom Home because it is not known as a Tomtom software.
Proceed as follows to install it :
Download it by clicking here
Save the file on your computer
Open it by double-clicking it or with an archive software like Winzip. You'll find the following content :

Then, you can disconnect your Tomtom and reboot it. In the main menu, you'll find the Tripmaster icon, named "Tripmaster". Click on it
to launch Tripmaster.
What can you do with Tripmaster ?
With Tripmaster, you can:
display in real time :
o the latitude, the longitude and the altitude of the point where you are,
o the direction that you follow, with quantified indication and compass,
o the elapsed total time since the departure, and the elapsed time while moving,
o the total distance since the departure,
o the distance since the last reset of the intermediate trip,
o the instantaneous speed, total average speed and average speed while moving,
o the maximum speed reached since the departure.
display only if you want it the maximum speed or reset it when you want,
reset the intermediate trip, while recording simultaneously, if the tracking logs are active, a tracking point, with the mileage carried out
since the last reset,
record periodically your position : latitude, longitude, name of the place, hour and altitude,
record on-demand your position, with various specific comments,
define several speed limits, choose one and to be warned when you drive over this limit by a screen display and/or an audible alarm.
choose the format of tracks recording :
o CSV for Excel importation,
o ITN for a re-use in Tomtom navigation application,
o KML for a direct importation in Google Earth,
o GPX for a later conversion in another format for another GPS or a visualization with Google Earth,
o POI for a later use as POIs in Tomtom application
o NMEA to record directly the frames received from the GPS module

What are the displayed values ?


GPS coordinates and altitude are those of the point where you are. Altitude is followed by a slope indicator which gives you the evolution of
altitude on X last seconds, X being defined in Tripmaster setup.
The compass indicates the followed direction, by the triangle in top. North is indicated in a square.In the compass center, the steered course is
provided in degrees or in literal form or both, according to what you chose. In the lower left corner of the compass zone, either the degrees are
displayed or the literal form according to what is displayed in the compass center. In the upper right corner of the compass, the number of visible
satellites is displayed, between 0 and 12.
The name of the tracking log file is displayed under the title when the logs are activated.
Maximum speed is displayed, if required. In a rectangle, the speed limit appears. The instantaneous speed is displayed in the center of the screen.
On the upper right corner of the speed zone, is indicated the total average speed. In the lower right corner of the speed zone, the average speed
while moving is displayed.
In the lower right zone of the screen , are displayed the total distance and the intermediate trip.
In the lower left zone, the total duration of the trip and the duration while moving are displayed.
How can you use Tripmaster ?
When the Tripmaster screen is displayed, the whole of the functions is accessible while typing in the significant zones indicated below. For the
GO equipped with a remote control, forget it, it is not managed by Tripmaster
IMPORTANT: Tripmaster can cause you problems if you seized a protection code on your Tomtom. In this case, if you stop your Tomtom
whereas Tripmaster is visible, the restart of your Tomtom is likely to be problematic and to end in a manual reset.


Deactivate/activate tracking logs
To activate the tracking logs, just click on the zone where are displayed the GPS coordinates and altitude (upper left corner, symbol 0_0). When
the recording is active, this is announced by the appearance of the tracking logs file name and by a Save button. in the compass zone. When
Tripmaster did not acquire a GPS signal yet, the button with the symbol 0_0 does not appear, which means that the activation of tracks logging is
not possible. If you're using a customized background, the symbol 0_0 is no more used and the Deactivate/Activate button is always visible,
although the function may not be active, if no GPS signal is present.
To stop tracks logging, just click once again on the GPS coordinates zone.
Color change
At each click on the title zone, display switches from day to night, then night to automatic, then automatic to day. When Tripmaster is stopped,
the current state of color display is saved and will be the state used at next start.
Recording a point
When the tracking logs are activated, a simple click on the compass records an additional tracking point in the tracking logs file, with GPS
coordinates of the point where you are, the name of the place, the altitude and the hour of recording. A tracking point is also recorded when you
reset the intermediate trip.
Set up some parameters
Clicking on the lower right corner of the screen will give you access to a first setup screen, where you'll be able to set up all the parameters
linked with tracking logs. From this 1st screen, you may invoke a second one to set some other important parameters.
Put Tripmaster in background
If you click anywhere in the durations zone (lower left corner), Tripmaster goes in background and you have again access to the Tomtom
application. Tripmaster continues to run, in background, and records tracking logs, if you asked to do it.
To recall Tripmaster on the foreground, just click on its icon in Tomtom menu.
Reset the intermediate trip
When clicking on the distance zone of the distances (lower right corner), you reset the intermediate trip. If the tracking logs are active, a tracking
point with the current mileage of the intermediate trip is recorded.
Tripmaster stop
You will stop Tripmaster by clicking on the cross in the upper right corner of the screen. When Tripmaster is stopped, all current parameters are
stored, the tracking logs state and file name are also stored. All these parameters and states will be re-used at next start.
Speed limit setup
When clicking on the speed zone, the following menu will appear :

This menu will allow you to manage the speed limit and the maximum speed. It disappears automatically after a few seconds, if you don' use it or
if you click outside of it.
The speed limit defines a speed value above which a "Speed Limit " road signal will appear on Tripmaster main screen with the current speed on
it and/or an audible alarm will be played. The currently defined speed limit is shown in a small rectangle with a value.">90", if limit is 90, in the
lower middle part of speed zone.
When the above menu is displayed, you can perform the following actions :
click on one of the 4 road signals on top of menu, to setup as new speed limit the value in the road signal. These values are preset in the
speedlimit configuration parameter.
click on the "End of interdiction" road signal : if a speed limit was set, it is cancelled and its value is not shown anymore in the speed
zone. If no speed limit is set, the speed limit is set to the value defined by the speedlimit parameter.
click on the "Speed limit" road signal (lower right). The current speed displayed in this signal is then used as the new speed limit.. If the
current speed is null, this signal is deactivated.
When Tripmaster starts, the speed limit is set to the value defined in the speedlimit parameter. The value used when Tripmaster was stopped
previously is lost.
Display or reset the maximum speed
These functions are invoked when you click on the speed zone, to display the above menu.
If you click on the Max button , you may display or hide the maximum speed. This value is displayed in the upper left corner of the speed zone.
If you click on the button under the Max button , the maximum speed is resetted.
When you stop Tripmaster, the maximum speed is recorded with its display state. At next Tripmaster start, Tripmaster will reuse this recorded
value and will display it or not, depending of the recorded state at previous stop.
How can you setup Tripmaster ?
With the 2.1 version, you can set up some of the configuration parameters directly on the Tomtom. For the other parameters, you need to connect
it to your computer and edit, with Wordpad, the file config.txt located in the /tripmaster directory. Take care to save the file, after changes, in
text format.

Format (trackformat) parameter defines the format of tracking logs files :
itn : reusable format directly as a route in Tomtom
csv : importable format in Excel or Autoroute Express
kml : format of immediate importation in Google Earth
gpx : interchange format between various GPS or for an immediate importation in Google Earth
poi : as Points Of Interests, that mya be re-used in Tomtom application
nmea : records directly the NMEA frames received from the GPS module
If File (tracksaving) parameter is :
Append (append) : When activating the logs, Tripmaster creates a file if no file has been created the current day or re-use the current file
if logs have already been activated this same day.
New (new) : Each time you activate the logs, a new file is created.
In both modes, if you stop Tripmaster without stopping the logs, when you re-start Tripmaster, it will continue to logs datas in the current
file.
Course (trackcourse) parameter defines the minimal value of a course change which produces the recording of a tracking point. Value 0 stops
the recording of tracking points on course change criterion.
Distance (trackdistance) parameter defines the elapsed minimal distance which produces the recording of a tracking point. Value 0 stops the
recording of tracking points on distance criterion.
Period (trackperiod) parameter defines the interval of time which produces the recording of a tracking point. Value 0 stops tthe recording of
tracking points on time criterion.
Distance, period and course (trackdistance, trackperiod and trackcourse) parameters can be used at the same time. As soon as a condition is
matched for one of them, a tracking point of trace is recorded. If one of them is set to 0, it is then ignored.
Autologging (autologging) parameter tells if you want or not to have a tracking logs file automatically activated at each Tripmaster start. If you
select Yes (yes), a file is created at each start, if the File (tracksaving) parameter is equal to New (new) or the same file is re-used if the File
(tracksaving) parameter is equal to Append (append).
Records (records) parameter defines the contents of the tracking logs files records when the Format (trackformat) parameter is equal to itn or
csv : each record contains obviously GPS coordinates and the hour of recording. According to the value of the Records (records) parameter, it
may also contain the following elements :
Long (long) : speed, altitude, distance
Medium (medium) : altitude, distance
Short (short) : altitude
Second setup screen : Display and behaviour parameters
These parameters may be set up in the second setup screen.

These are the following parameters

Inclinometer (inclinometer) parameter defines the time in seconds (between 5 and 60) during which Tripmaster will store successive altitudes
to determine the slope, rising or downward, of the current trip. The inclinometer is displayed after the altitude, in the form of a rising arrow,
downward or horizontal.
Frequency (processperiod) parameter defines the time interval in 1/1000th of seconds between two execution cycles of Tripmaster. The default
value is 500, which means that Tripmaster will be executed every 1/2 second. If you set a lower value for this parameter, Tripmaster will be
executed more frequently, giving a smoother display and more frequent updates of the displayed values, but this may produce problems with the
navigation application, because of a bigger CPU usage by Tripmaster.
GMT Offset (gmtoffset) parameter defines the time shift from GMT hour for the current timezone. The value may be decimal, e.g. 9.5 for a 9
hours and 30 minutes shift The value may be positive or negative, depending of your location relative to Greenwich meridian.
Geoid fix (geoidfix) parameter specifies if the GPS device corrects or not altitude, according to the rotundity of the Earth. Recent Tomtoms
(One, Rider and GOx10) do not need this parameter, chooseNo (no). Older Tomtom (GO Classic, GOx00) need a geoid correction, choose Yes
(yes) and seize on the same line the value of geoid correction in meters to apply.
Altitude (displayaltitude) parameter defines if Tripmaster will display the altitude in a flashing message, over Tomtom application screen, when
Tripmaster is not on foreground. The figure on the same line defines the time interval between two messages, in seconds. The minimum value is
5 seconds, because the altitude is displayed for 5 seconds and a shorter interval would bring problems.

may also be changed in Tripmaster main screen by clicking on the title zone. The current value used when Tripmaster is stopped is stored. This
parameters may be set to :
Day (day) : the day colors are selected
Night (night) : the night colors are selected
Auto (auto) : colors are selected according to the hour and of the GPS position, compared to the hours of sunset and sunrise.
Compass (compass) parameter defines compass display :
Num. (numeric) : the course in degrees is displayed in the compass center while the litteral course is displayed under the compass on the
lower left corner of the compass zone
Lit. (litteral) : the litteral course is displayed in the compass center while the course in degrees is posted under the compass on the lower
left corner of the compass zone
Num/Lit (both) : the course in degrees and litteral is displayed in the compass center

Speed alarm (speedalarm) parameter defines if you'll get a Visual or Audible alarm or Both at the same time when the current speed is over
the defined speed limit.
Speed limit ( speedlimit) parameter defines the speed over which a speed signal will appear in the speed zone and/or an audible alarm will be
played. This setup may be changed directly from the main screen, by touching the speed zone. At each Tripmaster start, this value will be the
default speed limit. A null value deactivate this speed limit function.
The four values in the line below Speed limit define four different pre-defined speed limits, which may be directly chosen in the speed menu,
displayed when you touch the speed zone, in the main screen of Tripmaster.
Alarm sounds (alarmfilename) allows you to choose which sound will be played when the speed limit is reached. Only the sound files present
in /tripmaster directory are displayed in this list. They must in .OGG format and last only a few seconds.
Repeat (alarmperiod) parameters defines if the audible speed alarm will be replayed, if the speed remains over the speed limit, for the interval
defined by the figure on the same line. If you set it to no, the audible alarm will be played only once. There is no minimum value for this
parameter, but the interval must be bigger than the length of the chosen sound.

Bottom text (bottomforegroundcolors) : defines characters colors in the upper and lower areas of screen
Screen bgnd (topbackgroundcolors) : defines background colors in the central area of screen
Bottom bgnd (bottombackgroundcolors) : defines colors of the upper and lower areas of screen
Lines (linescolors) : defines lines colors
Units (labelscolors) : defines units and other fixed texts colors
Each parameter has the following syntax :
it has got 2 or 3 triplets, defining day colors, night colors and colors when GPS signal is not present (for Screen text and Bottom text
parameters)
<number-1>,<number-2>,<number-3>, each number defines respectively the Red, Green and Blue level, from 0 to 255. The bigger the

Tracking logs files created by Tripmaster
The tracking logs file are stored in the /itn repertory.
The name of the files is of the form tm<yyyymmdd>.<suffix> when the File parameter is equal to Append or of the form
tm<yyyymmdd_hhmmss>.<suffix> when the File parameter is equal to New. <yyyymmdd> represents the current date when the file is
created, and <hhmmss> represents the hour of creation of the file. <suffix> is worth .itn, .csv, .kml or .gpx, according to the value of the
trackformat parameter.
Whatever the format of recording chosen, the file contains a Start record and an Finish record, which are recorded respectively when the file is
created and when it is closed.
In POI format, in New mode, the POI are stored in a category named as defined above. In Append mode, the POI are stored in a category named
Tripmaster.
IMPORTANT: in KML or GPX format, the file is structured in language XML, it is imperatively necessary to close it before stopping
Tripmaster. If the file is not closed, the XML structure of the file is incorrect and it will be unusable with Google Earth or any other software
reading files GPX or KML. To close a tracking logs file, just click on the symbol 0_0 or on the zone which surrounds it and verify the display of
a flashin messageLogs deactivated . When the name of the file is hidden, the file is closed correctly.
ITN format tracking logs files
An ITN tracking logs file can be edited with Wordpad or directly used in the Tomtom navigation by the Itinerary planning function.
Important : a Tomtom route can contain only 48 steps, whereas an ITN tracking logs file may contain an infinite number of records. Only the 48
first will be used in Tomtom application.
Each line of an ITN file contains a tracking point with the following fields, separated by the character |:
longitude of the tracking point (with format WGS84, that is to say longitude in degree multiplied by 100000)
latitude of the tracking point (with format WGS84)
a comment field on the tracking point followed by various values
a command for Tomtom: |0| indicating that this point must be regarded as an intermediate step in a route
The comment of the tracking point can contain :
Start : for the first point of the tracking logs file
Finish : for the last point of the tracking logs file
Waypoint : for a point recorded while clicking on the compass or for a point recorded on criterion of time
Dist. xxx.x : for a point recorded on criterion of distance, xxx.x being the distance covered at the time of the recording of the point
Course xxx : for a point recorded on criterion of course, xxx being the course at the time of the recording of the point
the value seized in field CMD of a button added to Tomtom menu
The values which follow the comment can be:
the name of the place if it can be given (only long and medium recording mode)
the date, only for the starting point
the hour
altitude
the distance in kilometres traversed since the launching of Tripmaster at the time of the recording (only longand medium recording mode)
instantaneous speed (only long recording mode)

CSV format tracking logs files
A CSV tracking logs file can be edited with Wordpad either imported in Excel or Autoroute Express, for example.
Each line of a file CSV contains a tracking point with the following fields, separated by the character ,:
longitude of the tracking point, in decimal degrees
latitude of the tracking point
a field comment on the tracking point, followed by the hour, the altitude and the name of the tracking point, separated by -
The field comment contains the same values as ITN format, described above.

GPS format tracking logs files
A GPX tracking logs file can be published with Wordpad or imported in Google Earth to directly visualize the points of passage and the recorded
way.
Each line of a file GPX contains either a point of the waypoint type, or a point of the routepoint type and a point of the trackpoint type. In fact,
for manually recorded points , Tripmaster records a waypoint, a routepoint and a trackpoint. For the automatically recorded points, Tripmaster
records a routepoint and a trackpoint.
This allows then on other GPS or in Google Earth to obtain not only tracking passage, but also a route between these points, therefore an order of
passage.
The points of the waypoint type have the following fields:
longitude of the tracking point, in decimal degrees
latitude of the tracking point
a comment field on the tracking point and the name of the tracking point, separated by -
the distance since the departure of the way
the hour of the passage
the altitude of the tracking point
The comment field takes the same values as in format ITN, described above.
The points of the routepoint type and trackpoint have the same fields and the same values. The commentfield takes the same values as format
ITN, described above.
The whole of this information is coded in XML syntax in accordance with GPX standards.
IMPORTANT: Only the closing of the file before stopping Tripmaster guarantees that information is gathered correctly to give a valid file
GPX.
This particular point also explains why, for the GPX format, only the New mode is enabled for the File parameter in setup screen. In this manner,
the file can be used only once and its XML structure is correct if one closes it well before stopping Tripmaster. The short, medium or long record
format is also unavailable in the setup screen, because there is only one possible format for these GPX records.

KML format tracking logs file
A KML tracking logs file can be edited with Wordpad or imported in Google Earth to directly visualize the points of passage and the recorded
way.
The recorded points have the following fields :
longitude of the tracking point, in decimal degrees
latitude of the tracking point
a comment field on the tracking point and the name of the tracking point, separated by one -
the distance since the departure of the way
the hour of the passage
the altitude of the tracking point
The field comment takes the same values as in ITN format, described above.
The whole of this information is coded in XML syntax in accordance with GPX standards.
IMPORTANT: Only the closing of the file before stopping Tripmaster guarantees that information is gathered correctly to give a valid file
GPX.

Tripmaster general log
This general log file is called tripsummary.log and it is stored /tripmaster directory. It may be edited with Wordpad or imported into Excel,
because it is in CSV format.
Each time you use Tripmaster,when stopping it, a record is appended to this file with current values, generated during Tripmaster usage.
Each record contains, in the following order :
date and time of record,
date and time of departure ,
total duration,
duration while moving,
GPS coordinates of the departure point,
name of departure point,
GPS coordinates of arrival point,
name of arrival point,
total distance ,
minimum speed,
maximum speed,
total average speed,
average speed while moving .
These fields are separated by commas.
Add a Tripmaster button to the Tomtom menu
If you have Tomtom standard menu (eg. if you have no tomtom.mnu file on your Tomtom), the Tripmaster icon is added at the end of Tomtom
main menu.
If you have a tomtom.mnu file, you need to modify it to see Tripmaster icon in your personalized menu. To do that, add a line :
MENUI TEM| TASK_SDK<n>|
with <n> equal to the right number (between 1 and 9) for Tripmaster corresponding entry in /sdkregistry. <n> depends on the number and date
of the .cap files in the /sdkregistry directory.
Add other buttons for Tripmaster
You may create as many buttons as you want, in Tomtom menu, for Tripmaster, to recall it, when it's running in background, to record specific
waypoints with specific comments.
For example, to add a "Restaurant" waypoint, proceed as follows :
copy the 2 files /sdkregistry/tripmaster.cap et /sdkregistry/tripmaster.bmp with other names : for ex.
/sdkregistry/tripmaster_resto.cap and /sdkregistry/tripmaster_resto.bmp
modify, with Wordpad, the /sdkregistry/tripmaster_resto.cap file to change the comment field and button name in the following lines :
o AppMainTitle|Restaurant|
o COMMAND|CMD|Restaurant|tripmaster_resto.bmp|Restaurant|
If you add the hide keyword after the comment field in the CMD line , Tripmaster, when recalled, will record the waypoint and will stay running
in background.
.cap file example

AppMai nTi t l e| Rest aur ant |
AppPor t | 2001|
COMMAND| CMD| Rest aur ant hide| t r i pmast er . bmp| Rest aur ant |
Uninstall Tripmaster
If you want to uninstall Tripmaster, proceed as follows directly on your Tomtom :
remove /tripmaster,
in /sdkregistry directory, remove all the files beginning by trip,
if you have anymore of my plugins installed, remove also the /skin directory.
