Netstumbler disables MP GPS?
Posted: Wed Jan 10, 2007 3:17 pm
Greetings to all.
I'm running an Emtac BTGPS w/Multilink (TRINE) GPS unit. It provides 4 seperate BT COM ports on the GPS side of things that anything can connect to and read the values from (almost like comfoolery).
If I launch Mappoint 2006 first, set the GPS to COM4, then I can have Mappoint handle my GPS and provide location tracking & screen updating.
If I launch Netstumbler next, using the "Master Script" for 0.4, I've got it setup to only plot AP's and maybe change their location if need be. There is no vehicle tracking or bread-crumbing (this is handled by Mappoint). Netstumbler uses COM3 for the GPS. This works just fine.
Now, if I let Netstumbler launch MP through the script, it effectivly disables MP's GPS features. I can't click on the "Configure GPS" button, nothing happens, so I can't enable the GPS.
I've looked through the scripts and I can't find where it's disabling the MP GPS features. I'm trying to keep the script activity to a bare minimum and thus I want MP to handle the realtime location tracking, and net Netstumbler just add and modify pushpins as required.
How do I ether modify the Master Script or otherwise enable the GPS features in Mappoint when it's launched through Netstumbler?
Cheers!
