Goldfndr,

I started using your Scripts earlier this week and really appreciate all the hard work that has gone into making them. For the past two days, NetStumbler v0.4 and MapPoint 2006 have worked great together while stumbling around town. I did notice the map will not rotate in the direction of travel. So yesterday I changed the settings to use a default map, which was a map from the previous day of stumbling. This worked fine yesterday and was able to see both tracks and showed none of the problems I list below.

However, today while using NS with MapPoint I encountered an odd problem that I have not yet been able to figure out. I start NS from desktop with the external script 20070125.zip starting MapPoint like normal. When MapPoint finishes loading, it does not zoom in correctly to my GPS position every time I load it. When using a default set map, MapPoint will zoom partially to my GPS location, but upon further zooming manually it will go back to where it was initially zoomed to when started. It always zooms out to about 50% on the slider bar showing my set "Place" but centered on my GPS location. I was able to duplicate this every time if either delLastLoc or delLasttrack were set to false 100% of the time. With those two settings set to true it was variable. I also tried with no default map set and would get the same results. The zoom in would still be incorrect and not able to hold manual zoom.

So I decided to uninstall MapPoint, NetStumbler and delete the scripts and restarted. I then reinstalled all three and used 20060629.zip scripts. After editing the settings zoom fails to work at all in MapPoint. At startup I am able to hold the zoom level if manually zoomed in. When using the same default map as before, NS fails to load and locks up yet MapPoint loads with the mouse cursor flickering between a moving hourglass and a normal cursor icon. I am also able to manually zoom to my GPS location during all this and it stays zoomed in.

Other information:
