I'm relying on the spare time of others for technical assistance. I can't be too demanding.

There are legal issues of course. It's possible that Honda, Alpine, or NavTeq may not like what we're doing, but I don't see how it would be to their benefit to do so.

The result is that I can't even say what we've done.. what worked and what didn't work. Very frustrating.

If we can get to the point where we have something to offer then I can approach the necessary entities and find out if they have objections. Even if they do have objections we may have alternatives, but until we have a stable working model we're just putting the cart in front of the horse.

It is my opinion that Honda went to the trouble of eliminating the trip computer... by that I mean they apparently spent money to take it out of the nav system. I've heard their reasoning but it just doesn't make sense to me. Honda was more interested in surveys and opinions than they were in providing valid and valuable functions to the people who spent a lot of money for the vehicle. A very bad way to do business.

I'd be willing to help in anyway I can. Just let me know.
