Automatically start GPS for Streets '06 - Page 3

gameboy · 11-02-2006, 08:08 PM

try lowering the sleep(xxxx) times

maybee lower them both to 1500(1.5 seconds) i would not go any lower then 500(1/2 second) or you might start lagging(cpu usage)

the script works pretty good for me ?!?

for the name i used autogps.exe ... the name itself is irrelavent, you can call it anything you want "love machine.exe"....

I have MapPoint 2006 and want to auto connect GPS.

I look script for this in previous pages.

How can start script?

i cannot help with map point 2006 as i do not have a copy, to run the script download and install Autoit3 (google for it)

peterhr · 11-06-2006, 10:23 AM

10x,
i install AutoIT v3.

I run script for Streets because i think is the same program. But nothing happen.

System tray icon is blinking and show "Script Paused". Is that normal???

Excuse me for poor english.

mappoint and streets are two different programs, the window names are prob different...i do not have map point, maybee someone else can help

Marvin Hlavac · 11-11-2006, 07:26 AM

The window name is: Map - Microsoft MapPoint North America and the exe file name is: MapPoint.exe

I don't know what else would be needed, I haven't played with the script.

P.S. I just noticed the person asking the question is from Sofia, Bulgaria. The EU version window name is: Map - Microsoft MapPoint Europe

I have done a sript for mappont to run auto gps etc...
Its kind of rough since I dont have any experience in this type of writing but is works, It need some additional work.Take a look at it and try it I created it with autoit3
still does not run in RR but maybe we can continue working on how to run a script in a shell (RR).

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2)
While 1
WinWait("Map - Microsoft MapPoint North America","")
Sleep(500)
ControlClick("Map - Microsoft MapPoint North America","","Button59","")
ControlCommand("Map - Microsoft MapPoint North America","","Button39","Check","")
WinWait("Safety Warning","")
ControlClick("Safety Warning","",5912)
WEnd

Ive uploaded the compiled file, Just unzip and double click, you will see the icon on your system tray, just open it before double ckiking mappoint...
hope it helps...

Thanks for answers.

I am from Europe, Bulgaria.

I install and AutoRoute 2007. Advance from MapPoint is only Full Map View. It's good.

I don't know what is different between "Trips & Streets", "MapPoint" and "AutoRoute" but they all from Microsoft, all visuals equally.

I run my first script with mouse control. And in this way "all works", but to control with mouse is a little discomfort.

I look script for Streets in page1. But i think it control only 2 buttons. I want to checked all buttons:

"Start GPS Tracking"
"Provide Driving Guidance"
"Arrange Map View"
"-Keep Position Centered" or "-Use Dynamic Turn View"
"Rotate Map to Follow Direction"
"Create GPS Trail"

But i don't know numbers for these buttons.

What is their number?

Hi, I am new to windows scripting, so I have a question. Should I have this script running in the background along with MS Streets and Trips? Is that the idea?

Thanks,
Vlad

It's depending on program.

If you use "repeat", "until", "for" statements the program will run in bakcground.

If you don't use cycle the program end after execute.

Are you guys ready to work on Streets O7. It actually has a full screen navigation with a few large buttons. But the only way to access the full screen is having route set up and GPS tracking.

peterhr · 12-05-2006, 09:42 AM

AutoRoute 2007 is the same.

But i can't find automatic recalc the route if i miss the road.
I try AutoRoute in car, but my monitor is only 640x480 and in this resolution place for the map is too litlle.
Half of screen is for navigation part.
There is no info about end of trip, there is only for next turn.

The 2007 version does tell you "Driving Time", so you know how many more minutes/hours to your destination.

peterhr · 12-05-2006, 03:33 PM

I don't understand when the program tell me "Driving Time".

Can I change english speak with another? I want to replacce voice files with my files, to hear in my language.

I want to read in monitor how many km to the end, and how many time.

Can I cut maps, because my country is maybe 2-3MB of all European map?
European map is 800-900MB.

1. 2007 version displays 'Driving Time' in the new full-screen mode

2. The program will not switch to another language as far as I know

3. It wouldn't be a matter of replacing 'voice files'. The program uses text-to-speech technology

4. If you are short on hard drive space you may un-install the program, and then re-install it. Select the 'Minimum install' option when prompted. This way the application gets installed, but not the map data. However, you will need to have the DVD inserted in the computer to use the program.
