| GPS position check Anyone know a way to make mappoint check for your position every second vs. every 15 seconds? Maybe some kind of registry key or something? I'm new as you can tell. Thanks.         |

There's no registry setting AFAIK, but there is a way to "hack" the .exe (I think) using a binary editor and change some value from 15 to 1, but as I understand it such hacking is illegal. A better option would be to use an add-on such as GPS Plus for MapPoint ( http://www.engo.com/mappointtoolbox/ ) or AGPS ( http://www.techgt.com/agps/ ) Eric

part of the problem here is that the mappoint gps tracking REQUIRES nmea2 at a slow baud rate. nmea2 contains a dumpload of data to transfer the satellite information (up to 12 satellites worth on most gps units).. and as far as i can figure it, mappoint doesnt even USE the satellite data. the actual lat/long data only comes once per cycle through all the nmea2 data. the bottom line is that it can only track as often as it receives that data. if mappoint allowed nmea1 at a faster baud rate, it would be able to get the position every couple of seconds... |

yes, they must have written their own serial port listener (it's quite easy to do) prepare the port in form load: Code: ' Use COM1. MSComm1.CommPort = 1 ' 19200 baud, no parity, 8 data, and 1 stop bit. MSComm1.Settings = "19200,N,8,1" ' Tell the control to read entire buffer when Input ' is used. MSComm1.InputLen = 0 ' Open the port. MSComm1.PortOpen = True Code: Private Sub MSComm1_OnComm()
Dim instring As String
Dim lat As String
Dim lng As String
Dim i As Integer
instring = MSComm1.Input
i = InStr(instring, "GPGLL")
Do While Len(instring) - i < 26
instring = instring & MSComm1.Input
Loop
lat = Mid(instring, i + 6, 9)
lng = Mid(instring, i + 16, 10)
Text1.Text = lat
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & " -- " & lng
End Sub
