Thread: CF1.6 MapPoint 2K4 Plugin Alpha Source Code Now Available

[Copied from posting at http://forums.fluxmedia.net/viewtopic.php?t=433]

First, the screen shots...

Basic view w/ GPS lock turned off:


Planning route from Portland to Seattle w/ GPS lock turned off:


Planned route from Portland to Seattle w/ GPS lock start+current+end:


Closed route (can pull up again) w/ GPS lock current+end:


The code is at:
http://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/CFMapPoint

Currently the code is in alpha, so the project is private access only.
You are welcome to request access, but I don't yet know how GDN's access control works, so please bear w/ me while I figure out a good way to continue to control access during the alpha stages.

You *MUST* have a copy of MapPoint 2004 and Centrafuse v1.6 installed for this to work!
You may also have to edit the project settings to get it to compile right.
Let me know what I can do to make the code more portable.

I will try to put together an installer by the end of this weekend.
You will still need to have MapPoint 2K4 installed for it to work.
I have not tested it WITHOUT MapPoint installed.

I have MP2K6 still in its box and will be installing it soon and making the plugin work with that too.
I will give my MP2K4 to the first person that assists me in making sure that the plugin fails gracefully without at least MP2K4 installed.
