I'm on the way to add GPS support to the program with memorizing the GPS points, displaying them on a map and saving them in a file.
What exactly do you mean with:
'What is realy missing, is the heading and meters of every line' ?
What would you like to see displayed and where and how ?
When you select a point on a memorized line, the coordinates of the point are displayed, and with the 2 small blue arrows you can step to the next or previous point.
Yes, I know I stated that there will not be another post in this Section. But, I have to Retract my Statement.
I am not the brightest bulb. I hate myself because of this. Had I the wisdom this Killer App would already have the missing functions, that are still needed.
Since we do not have the knowledge, we cant share the source code.
I wish I could share!

Klaus, that sounds GREAT!!!!!!
Best regards.

Hi Klaus, I shall be very interested in this development. Will the file be in KML format? I have been writing some code to write KML using XML.dll, both using XmlWriter (for initial file) and XmlDocument (for subsequent edit). I put in some styles so that lines can be drawn in multiple colours (there's an example output at http://www.mjcoon.plus.com/2009-10-nn.kml). You are very welcome to this code if wished. I have not submitted it as a "My creation" because it is rather specific for my purposes!
... But your code using the XML libraries does interest me.
OK, I've attached it in case it should be useful in the future. Sorry that the structure shows lots of evidence of its development from a text-output approach to writing the KML too. Please let me know if any explanation/justifications are needed (I'm parsimonious with the comments!)...
... But your code using the XML libraries does interest me.
Hi again Klaus, I've discovered that I downloaded a KML.dll last month. But the zip doesn't include a Help so I have no idea what thread it came from or who the author is. I gather it is used in GPS4PPC app but I don't know how...
When I try to load the sbp file I get two error messages and when I try to compile to a device, I get two more. I captured the error messages with Snagit for your perusal. I was wondering if you had an updated verion of this program. I'm only interested in drawing lines from GPS coordinates. I'm trying to recreate a program that my programmer is using as a means of extorting exhorbitant sums of money from me. I do electromagnetic surveys and when I am doing a survey, the Recon data collector keeps track of the GPS coordinates while I am collecting data and draws a line showing where I have gone. Also, if I lose lock on the satellites or the EM sensor, it will display a message box and pause the program so that I can correct the situation and resume the survey. With the lines on the display, It is an easy matter to navigate back to the point where the interruptiopn occurred and resume from that point. I've got the GPS portion OK. I'm working on appending the binary EM string onto the GPS and now I'm starting to work on the GPS line of travel and scaling of the map being created. Whenever I get a more or less finished program, I'll post it under Shared Creations, because I'm not too interested in maintaining code for various platforms and devices.
You find the last version 3.0 in the first post, with some GPS support not really tested, but it the map part works with B4PPC 6.9.
I am no more developping this program further, but you can use it pick up code if you want.
When I try to load the sbp file I get two error messages and when I try to compile to a device, I get two more.
The messages look like you haven't provided the necessary additional DLL(s) that are needed, which will be at least ControlsExDesktop.dll and ControlsExDesktop.dll. There must be a tutorial about downloading and using additional (not in free version of Basic4PPC) libraries. The list of libraries shows up under Tools/Components in the IDE.
Not sure, as an ex-programmer myself, that I approve of your using our expertise to enable you to cut out your tame programmer; seems a bit blatant!
I guess that's what is most frustrating. All of the required libraries appear to be there, but still the error messages. Maybe B4P doesn't load the libraries as fast as it should, but I still cannot compile this program to see how it works. I kind of like doing that before I get into the code. Just a personal thing.
