MapPoint plus speech for NetStumbler 0.4 - Page 12

WiYB_Wirius · 07-25-2004

Do I need Mappoint to use the SSID Voice expressing option?

And if I dont need Mappoint, what do I need to do to get it to work...? With a standard XP install.

Look through the thread for the version modified that does not need MapPoint.

Although i'm a very bad scripter a managed to extend the script to adjust the windows-volume according to the gps-speed. Very cool when you are listening to your favorite mp3s while scanning. I did not figure out how to set volume in vbscript, so i call a small 18k command-line-utility doing this. It is working really cool for me. I like it so much that i also use it when not scanning, 'cause it gives you some of the comfort only the new cars have

It was quite late and therefore script only works when using mappoint (uses crumbgab to determine whether to set the volume or not) ... but i will fix to make it work without mappoint.

Anyone interested? So i put it in here.

BTW: does anyone know a tool giving you nearly same scripting-capabilites on gps as netstumbler does without having all those wifi-features? It's quite overkill running netstumbler just for adjusting your mp3-volume

Why don't you write something to talk directly to the GPS device instead of relying on a third party app with GPS scripting support?

Because I am very new to this topic and just collecting information about doing this. I am even not sure which language fits best. And sometimes i just have to work on other things. So, with a lot of patience, maybe i will do it. So far, any suggestions are welcome.

Fair enough. There is a lot of information here and on the int0rw3b, so do some searching and you should be able to get some direction. Once you get a bit more information and can ask less general questions, maybe start a new topic as you (we) are threadjacking.

Well, you have to know what you are doing before you can pick your language (that is, if you know more than one). I would pick the one you are most comfortable in and go with that.

good luck.

Is it me or does this V00:25 not zoom in as far as mappoint does on its own??

Hey, great work with the script, for everyone that's helped with it.

I'm not really familiar with VBS, but would it possible (feasible?) to incorporate a pop-up dialog box when NetStumbler opens the script, with all of the options having checkboxes?

Here's what I mean:

*Open Netstumbler
*Dialog opens - all user configurable options are listed, with checkboxes to select or unselect
*Last Session's options are opened by default (I would think this part would be easy to call)
*If no new options are to be selected, user could just hit enter to use last session's options
*Script resumes with options (speech, default map, crumbs, etc.)

I'm not sure if my idea came across too well, if anyone has any questions, let me know, and I'll try to clear it up.

Many, many thanks for the auto-accident saving scripts!

I do not have MapPoint, but have successfully loaded both the VB and Perl versions of the script.

Thanks for all the work!

I granted my own wish I posted earlier. Here is the V025 script with voice announcements when the GPS status changes.

Now for my next request. Is there a way to ask MapPoint what street you are on? If so when this changes make an announcement of the name of the new street. Just a thought.

This works awsome I have my laptop setup in the back seat of car with GPS in the back window and drive screen closed of course works great thanks for all the work.

this would be a nice addon for it, Its been a while since I have done some vbscript but I will give it a shot - not promissing anything tho.

Change the line ~Set TTS.voice = TTS.getvoices().item(X) ' 20040429a~ where X equals the number of the voice you want.

I also changed it to add "is Open" for non-WEP and "is Closed" for WEP APs. This is controlled by the AddWEP flag.

Enjoy

where should i unzip the sdk5 to -?

apart from not getting the voices to change (yet), it's an amazing script. Just got my GPS the other day & went 4 1st run with it + script. Brings a whole new dimension to Netstumbler compared to *just scanning* like i've been doing up till now!
Thanx alot evryone involved
