Driver's Training!

The driveme.in car is so easy to drive that even a child can have fun with it! All you have to do is select a landmark from the “Jump To” section and drive the car using controls on the dashboard.

Here is a brief on the dashboard controls:

8	Accelerate using this button. Right click to toggle between auto and manual mode. In auto mode the car keeps moving forward until it reaches a dead end, or T-Junction.
7	This button will drive the car in reverse direction until the last junction only. The auto mode is applicable in this case also, which means right click will toggle between auto and manual mode
:	This button will move the car to end of the current sequence, which in many cases is the next junction
9	Sometimes it may so happen that the car just won’t move forward or go back. This could be for several reasons such as the skip button could have got clicked, or you exited playback mode, or could be for any other reason. In such situations, clicking this button might help.
Å Æ õ ö	Left, right, diagonal left, diagonal right turn. These buttons will appear on the dashboard for a short span whenever there is a connecting left or right turn. Once these buttons are visible on the dashboard, the corresponding left / right preview thumbnail images will also appear in the navigator. You can click these images also to move in that direction. Note that once you miss any of the connecting junction you cannot come back. In that case you would have to go forward and take U-Turn.
Ê	U-Turn. Click this button to start driving in the opposite direction. The U-Turn indicator will appear on the dashboard for a short time whenever a connecting U-Turn is available. Note that if you miss a U-Turn, you can’t come back. In that case you would have to look for the next U-Turn.
uwy vx	Gears that determine the speed at which the car is driven. For these gears to be effective it is essential that the images first get cached in your machine.

Driving tips & tricks...

As you must have gathered by now... driving is really easy. Here are some additional tips that would make your driving experience even more fun:

To start with you are logged in as Anonymous user, which is a shared login. We strongly recommended you to sign-up and log in with your username and password. There are lot of services that are available to registered users. Click on the navigator (windshield) to see options.

While you are driving some amount of caching takes place on your machine. We recommend setting the Cache size to medium, which will occupy approximately 75 MB of disk space in your system drive (where the Operating System is installed).

Allow some time for the images to be cached after you see "Loading sequence" message on the screen. This will ensure that you get a real driving experience with all gears operational. In the mean time you could just move the car back and forth, trust sometimes that is quite entertaining too!

You can record and share paths too. For example, if you want to tell your friend to drive on a particular path to reach a destination you can actually drive on that path in Recording mode and get a unique path number, that you can share with your friend who can then Playback the same. Look for Record Path... option in the menu.

If you are familiar with the area you are driving in, we encourage you to post Flags with relevant information so that it helps others.

There's a watch list on the right hand side. Use it to find out what you want in the car's current location. You can click the numbers in the watch list to get information about businesses.

Although there are many more things that you can do, these starter tips would get you started to a completely new experience!

Enjoy the drive!
