Return Values for StartNavigation:

RI_NOERROR = Navigation succeeded
RI_NOTADDED = Tracking Modus succeeded
RI_NOFIX = Navigation not succeeded, no GPS Fix
RI_NOTRUN = Navigation not succeeded, error in route calculation
RI_USER = Navigation not succeeded, User abort Navigation
RI_START_RETRACTED = Navigation succeeded. start was retracted
RI_TARGET_RETRACTED = Navigation succeeded. Target was retracted
RI_START_TARGET_RETRACTED = Navigation succeeded. Start and target was retracted

Description:

Sending this message will start the navigation to a previously set stop-off-point. If no stop-off-point is given, the navigator will go into tracking mode.
If there's no gps fix, the command will wait for up to 60 seconds for gps.
The acknowledgement message of the command will return after the route calculation, so be prepared that the message can take a while to arrive.
The remote interface will disable user interaction before executing the command and allow user interaction after the command if there was no previously call to BlockUserInteraction.

Example:

#define USE_LOADLIBRARY
#include "TNSRemoteInterfaceDll.h"

LPARAM GetUniqueID()

    //generate unique ID
