The program will save the gps speed to C:\log.txt in 1 second intervals.

Thanks conrad, looks pretty simple, but I´m not closer with autoit...

Nowadays I have 2 softwares that create the log file: Gpsgate and Xport, however the first one can´t give access to the log in realtime (access denied while gpsgate is on), so I have to use a virtual port from gpsgate to Xport and use the logfile from xport to capture the speed...

Using your software can I access the log file while this script still running?

Righ now I´m feeling like going from Arizona to Atlanta through the other side of the globe...


Could you compile it for me???


Thanks

The question here is: WHERE are you planning to use this information, cause really, you can use just this ONE line of code:

Code:

CreateObject("RideRunner.SDK").GetInfo("GPSSPD")

on almost any language with very little change and it will return you the GPS speed. It can't get any simpler than that, so the question is HOW you can input data into wherever it needs to be going ? tell us that and we may have an easier way to do that for you.

I test GPSExec with Ride Runner and Carwings Dynamic skin .

44.812837,-0.555668,300,60,100,M,"SAY;Premier POI Bordeaux!"
44.814602,-0.572405,120,240,100,M,"SAY;Deuxième POI Bordeaux!"


I listen to no message .

Any idea please ?

Well, the settings above are for going NORTH and SOUTH with a 60 degree variation.. I looked at those coordinates with google earth, and it seems in both locations the road is closer to east-west/west-east.. so with those angles selected you could easily not get the commands executed... try removing the angles to see... and make sure your GPS is set in RRConfig (1st thing).

for example, in a place where the speedlimit is 100Km/h, I want to run a "warning program" to let me know every time that I am over the speed limit for this area...

If I can get the speed information from RR, I probably can do it through some kind of script, but I cant realize how I can do that...

I also try to use a gps log file, but once that this file is already in use by the GPS program, I can´t open it, or if I open, It stop to keep the speed updated...

Please, help me...
Thanks

Try this

Speed and Position Executioner

why is it not recommended to use gpsexec with as a speed trap notifier using a database such as trapster? is it too resource hungry if there are thousands of entries in the ini file?

hey hey... haven't seen you in awhile...

anyway, the search for locations in gpsexec is just not optimized for thousands of points.. I have not tried it myself but chances are it could get slow and use significant amount of the CPU.. but if you'd like to try it, be my guest and let us know how it works..
