Ok, since the full documentation will need some more time I'll try to write a little howto. Please forgive my english.
Because several english-speaking users requested it, FuelControl can now also show averages in "distance/fuel" (e.g. miles per gallon) by switching to that mode: Tap the green icon in the lower right of the menu to go to the setup-screen. Then tap the blue "distance/fuel"-Icon and go back to the main screen using the red icon.
Normal use:
At the filling station, refill your car/bike to the brim. Then start the Programm, enter the distance you've driven since your last refilling (to the brim), tap the distance-Icon (the tripmeter with the blue background), the numbers will vanish and the icon will light up -> stored. Then enter the refilled amount (liters, gallons, whatever: Just keep in mind that the statistics will then be in that unit!) and tap the gas-station-icon. Enter the money you paid at the station and tap the money-icon. When done, tap the save-icon and the average distance per fuel or fuel per 100 distance-units (whatever you chose to use) will be shown. Thats it.
There's also a (violet) statistics-button in the lower left corner of the main menu.
There is a Documentation under construction at the moment!
Try the online-demo, you can't break anything there.
Q: Which Devices is this package working on?
A: It should be compatible with ALL TomTom PNAs and ALL firmwares, as far as I know. If it doesn't, please tell me!
Q: How do I use FuelControl?
A: After installation there should be a new button FuelControl on the last page of the main menu of your TomTom.
Q: How do I install the project?
A: This project uses TomTom Home for installation.
- TomTom Home 1.x: Start/open TomTom Home, choose menu "File" and there submenu "Preferences...".
In the following window the directory besides "Extra content" of the "Advanced"-tab is the place, to where to copy the files from the package.
- TomTom Home 2.x: Start/open TomTom Home, choose menu "File" and there submenu "Folder Preferences...".
In the following window the directory besides "Downloads" contains a directory "complete", which is the target directory to where to copy the files from the package.
Download the package from my website, extract the *.toc- and the *.cab-file and copy these two to the target directory.
If the target directory does not yet exist, create it!
- TomTom Home 1.x: If the project is not yet shown in TomTom Home, quit TomTom Home completely and restart it.
Select it for installation and install it.
- TomTom Home 2.x: If the project is not yet shown in TomTom Home under "Add Maps, Traffic, Voices etc.", there on the second page
under "Items on my computer" (tab "Applications"), quit TomTom Home completely and restart it.
Choose "Add".
Now unlink your TomTom safely from your PC using the little green remove-hardware-safely-arrow in your tray on the bottom right, next to your clock.
Q: How do I de-install the project?
A: Just remove the files and directories from your TomTom, that are included in the package. |
