| programming mappoint '04 - gps integration I have "Programming mappoint in .net" book ... i've come to a point where i'd like to integrate my USB GPS hardware into mappoint, however the sample code provided to add this integration is not compiling properly. I think this issue is due to using .NET 2.0 .... I was just wondering if there's a way around this? Perhaps using something like AGPS to do capture and translate the GPS sentencing to mappoint?? thanks!         |

Hi, You have to parse the NMEA strings from the GPS receiver to get the geocoordinates and other info you need. When that is done you can add or move a pushpin to the map with exact location and coordinates. Please tell wher you have difficulties with and all of us try to help.

I think the book describes direct NMEA parsing, doesn't it? I haven't read that bit in detail, but I noticed it yesterday when I was looking up the event trapping in C#. Richard (I'm dabbling with C# and MapPoint)

You will need a "COM bridge". There are a number around, including some open source ones. This will let you call a COM API from Java. Examples often show Java calling Word or Excel - that is probably worth cribbing. Once you have COM working, then the help files, "MapPoint.NET" book, and the articles on this site should make sense.
