Useful script - Re-center MapPoint 2002 through Netstumbler

' =============================================
' Re-center MapPoint 2002 when NetStumbler indicates a new GPS coordinate
' =============================================
' As you are all well aware, you can use a virtual COM-port utility to split the ports, and
' re-direct to several programs.
'
' It never worked for me, and ended up slowing my system down to the point of uselessness.
'
' This is just a test of NetStumbler 0.3.30s' scripting capability.
'
' It needs much more work to be useful... It doesn't "zoom" the map, and it doesn't display
' any visual indicators.
'
' I have not fully tested, as my GPS does not work inside...
'
' Have fun...

Thanks! Hopefully pikoro will put this on his site ( http://www.got-ram.com/ ) ( http://www.got-ram.com/modules.php?n...=article&sid=7 ) though it appears his site is currently down or something strange... Anyway thanks for posting the script, I will play with it when I get home

By that time (do you ever sleep man, you're almost as bad as me, I'm going on 28 hours without sleep so far, expect not to crash until about 11, which will be 40 hours total), I may have v.2.0 out...

Gotta switch to JScript, VBScript sucks, is too limitted, and non-OOP.

Ps... you may want to put your script in our new script forum:
NetStumbler.com Forums > NetStumbler Forums > Scripts
http://forums.netstumbler.com/forumd...?s=&forumid=24

Excellent, I will place new item/versions in the "scripts" forum, needs work though, just keeps flashing, if I "zoom" mappoint in, on then next push from Netstumbler/GPS, it flashes back to the original zoom level.
