We currently have 9 laptops with GPS each running task-specific-flavours of MGOS for our Public works guys (Hydrants, Flushing, Valve Turning…)
Each of the laptops uses the USB GPS that comes with Microsoft’s Streets and Trips. I found this useful app (http://download.cnet.com/GpsDiffuser/3000-12940_4-10784105.html?tag=mncol) that reads the NEMA stream coming in via the com port and save it to a log file (the app starts and is config’ed automatically on boot up). Via ScriptFrame, I pull the last line from the most recent logfile, decipher the NMEA string to get the Lat/Long, apply a coord conversion and then simply ZoomTo(x, y, scale). It’s not very elegant, but it’s been working for over a year and making their jobs that much easier. Thomas Grosser wrote: > > Happy New Year to everybody of this mailing list !
