Purpose

Store Points Of Interests, go directly to them, share them with family and friends, ... QuickDest makes it easy to go from place to place.

Prerequisites

One of the following navigation software must be installed on the Palm

QuickDest is unfortunately not compatible with ViaMichelin MapSonic 1.x. It has not yet been tested with ViaMichelin Navigation version 4

The navigation software must be installed in RAM. QuickDest will not find it if it's stored on the memory card.

Installation

Download the PRC file below and store it on your computer. Double-click the local file so it is added into the Palm QuickInstall tool. Do a HotSync so the program is transfered to the PDA.

Usage

Select an action in the menu, amongst "Go To", "Edit", "Beam", "Cut", "Copy", "Paste" and "Delete". When you edit a button, you will be able to set the text of the button, select the colors for both the background and the text of the button and set the coordinates (in D.d or D° M.m formats).

Click on the "Menu" icon of your Palm to have the choice to reset the complete category (cleaning the 8 buttons), beam the category or see the About box.

When you are in "Go to" mode, one click on a button and ViaMichelin MapSonic/Navigation/Cartes & Itinéraires will open and give you the following choice: "Select departure point", "Select arrival point", "Center Place" or "Navigate to...". If you select the latter, you will be directly guided to the selected location.
