I have written a real time GPS tracker. It's a 600k server which resides on your own PC. I have attached a sample of the output.

2 questions.
Am I allowed to post an executable?

Is anyone interested?

regards

John Scott

First
This is PM ware. If you try it and it works (or doesn't) please send me a PM to tell me you are happy (or unhappy). If you think you need to send money then donate it to your favourite childrens charity. PM me a picture of their smiling faces.

Second
It is very very beta. Very little testing. Very little error handling. But it should not harm your computer.
I have run it on w98, XP and 2000 and all seem to work. Nothing is written to the registry. To uninstall just delete.

It is very basic. Decodes NMEA strings $GPGGA (lat, lon and altitude) and $GPRMC for your current course. If your device doesn't output the sentences then tell me what they do putput. The view is centred on your current position, directly above your current position and rotated to your course. The default placemark is used.

The software was developed using an eTrex legend for the NMEA input.
Read the readme.txt inside the zip for instruction.

enjoy

John Scott

Sounds good,
But it didn't work to me.
I have a eTrex (the yellow), put it on NMEA OUT mode.
I checked in mapsource, the com port was com2. so I selected that.
But when I select "connect" nothing happens. I mean, The long-lat in the large box doesn't change.
What is wrong?

check the ini file after you shut down.
If lat and lon are 0.00 then the etrex is not locked up.

Try putting the etrex in demo mode.
