Can't full floating point lon/lat out of MapMonkey

Goddy · 05-10-2006, 01:09 PM

I am trying to make my own lon/lat logger for mapmonkey, because the current one is fixed to 10 seconds.

After a while I managed to get the .dll working and reading data from MapMonkey. But when I'm getting the lon/lat coordinates it is converting them to numbers instead of full floating points.

This is how I coded it and what i got:

Memo1.Lines.Add('Lat: ' + floattostrf(MonkeyMessenger1.Latitude,ffFixed,15,8 ) + ' Lon: ' + floattostr(MonkeyMessenger1.Longitude));

Result: Lat: 52,00000000 Lon: 4

I tried to convert it using the format with floattostrf() and with floattostr() but I got no luck.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Is this delphi ?

Depending on your OS, you could use xport or Gpsgate to duplicate your comport, then read that duplicated comport with yourown app.

Do you have a link to the doc for this dll ?

Its just MonkeyTalk.dll in Delphi (7.0). Comport splitter will only be more work.

The Lat/lon is just ready to grab but for some reason im getting rounded numbers instead of real/double/float.
