Reply With QuoteHow are you getting the coords from the balloon?
If a gps unit if it can send the whole GMPC string then send that to iGuidance (you will need to somehow simulate a GPS puck though)
Anyone know of any kind of iGuidance API or a way of manipulating it externally? I am currently using iGuidance in a car PC and am looking to use it to track weather balloons we will be launching with respect to our current position. What I would like to do is alter the coordinates of the current destination automatically as we receive GPS coordinates from the balloon.

well I have the gps in the truck so that iguidance has my local position, and I receive the coordinates of the balloon via aprs over the serial port. Right now I have a perl script that intercepts those packets and then I can transform them and do what I want with them.
I guess I'm not sure what you're thinking I might do if I were receiving GMPC strings. Is it possible to utilize 2 different GPSes or are you saying I should replace my local position GPS with the GPS coordinates received from the balloon? What I'm trying to do is have both so I can see where I am and where the balloon is in reference to my position.
I thought you wanted to replace your current position with the balloons.
Ok, maybe you need to have it as a POI that moves, interesting.
Yeah something like that might work if it were possible
