Exclamation how to MAKE IT WORK!

I have figured out how to make TrackNS work... if you need any help, contact me via AIM at iotaion9 -- YMMV! Good luck. Hopefully this will get us through until the author creates a new version.

Step 1)
Open MapPoint and create a map of your area called TrackNS.ptm and put it in the TrackNS directory. I just found my house with the find tool and put a pushpin there, then hit save.

Step 2)
Open the TrackNS.vbs file in Notepad. Make the following changes:

On the line that starts "Const dirName", change the value of this variable to the directory that the TrackNS.vbs files reside in.
Example:
Const dirName = "C:\Documents and Settings\iota\Desktop\trackns"

On the line that starts "Const mapName", change this to the exact filename of the TrackNS.ptm file you created (or any other map you want to use as your base).
Example:
Const mapName = "C:\Documents and Settings\iota\Desktop\trackns\trackns.ptm"

Find the line that starts " oMP.OpenMap" (use the Edit->Find feature and search for oMP.OpenMap). Change this line to say:
oMP.OpenMap mapName

(I'm not sure if that is 100% needed but it helped me.)

Step 3)
Quit out of all your MapPoint and NetStumbler windows, restart NetStumbler, and load the script. If you still get initialization errors, you did something wrong -- I may be able to help you

Good luck!
