| Any success with GPS API
I read Pauls post on his GPS API and though it was the answer to my problems. I am trying to deliver turn messages at the appropriate time but the direction locations do not return an accurate coordinate of the intersection. So i converted Pauls code to C++ and i called the appropriate functions to get the window handles and toggle the panes. I can even check off the GPS tracking check boxes. However this does not trigger MapPoint to start to read the GPS, it does nothing. Also all the text in the GPS pane is grayed out. This only happens when i open MapPoint from my application. The GPS works fine if i open MapPoint on its own. I noticed with Spy++ that the window was disabled. So i enabled the windows but, still no GPS action. Am i forgetting something? Has anyone else had success turning the GPS on from code? Thanks, Jon         |

Neither mind. I didnt realize i had to use the MapPoint template. However, now i am cant get the turn-by turn direction to update. I create a end waypoint at my destination and then sendMessage to the "F3 Go" button to create a route. This creates a route but the directions dont update based on my location. Anyone know what i am doing wrong. Jon |

Andrew Kun writes about an application he worked on for navigation in police cruisers using techniques from this article.. "Unfortunately, even after enabling the Driving Guidance by help of Paul Larson’s code, the turn by turn directions would not update. The only message given by the guidance was “Proceed to Route”. This seemed odd to me because the turn by turn direction update perfectly when I would run MapPoint.exe outside of Project54. "This led me to try something different than what is the suggested way to start MapPoint." Read on at eceblogger.com » Automating MapPoint in C++ with the built in GPS enabled |
