The ZIP file only contains the souce code and files used to create the aplication, it is not a compiled ( exe ) aplication.
Open it with your basic4ppc IDE and run it.

Thank you. I was able to install it.

Hi,

I found this tool when searching for PPC-applications for geocaching.

It would be helpful to have this function available:
in the GPS-view I would like to have a function where I may enter a destination and the display should show me the distance and direction according to the current GPS-position (should not be so diffcult, because all calculations are already available in the Caclculator-view)

Another question:
I just downloaded the trial version of the BASIC4PPC; on the desktop I may test / compile the source using Debug/Build /RUN but it's not possible to compile the source via file\compile\device ... is this due to the trail-version ?!

regards

Welcome to the forum Kanne.

The trial version doesn't allow you to compile .exe for Desktop or Device.

Go on

buy it. It's worth it.

Just don't write TV gameshows

Yes, only the full version allows you to compile your application to an executable.
You can run the source code on the device using the device IDE.

All, I don't use ActiveSync but still would like to test GPS4PPC. I don't have Basic4PPC installed yet (first I'd like to evaluate the GPS app, then go through the langage installation process).
Could someone send me (or post on the forum) a CAB (or PPC .exe) file for installing GPS4PPC?
Thanks

The Cab file is attached.
Note that it requires .Net CF 2.0.

Hi, I need some help with getting GPS4PPC to work with the HTC Cruise.
These are the settings which works fine with google map and mapking.

GPS program port: (COM4)
GPS hardware port: (none)
Baud rate: 4800

In GPS4PPC,
When I hit connect, a msg box pops up with GPS connected, but after 2 seconds another msg box pops up with GPS disconnected. Any other ports will pop an msg for error opening port.

Many thanks =)

There is an issue with .Net CF SerialPort class (which Serial2.dll uses) and HTC 3300.
It might be related to this problem.

Yes it seems to be the same problem. Would there be another way other than paying GPSGate 20 bucks ^^?
