How to add GPS support?

eduardovdr · 07-17-2005, 04:04 PM

Hi there,

I´ve been searching on the forum about this topic with no luck. I would like to use mapmonkey embeded into NeoCar the same way you can do so with RR... is that possible?

Thnx

it's possible im at work so i'll tell you how to do it if no1 else does by the time i get home.

you should look at the external.xml file in the app folder (atleast i think thats right)

try this >> (make some changes for destinator like the drive and filename)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<application>

<chemin>C:\FreeDrive\FreeDrive.exe</chemin>


<ligne_commande></ligne_commande>


<apercu></apercu>


<texte_recherche>free drive 0.85</texte_recherche>


<description>gps freedrive</description>


<run_embedded>0</run_embedded>


<ontop>0</ontop>


<borders_remove>30,5,5,5</borders_remove>


<allow_multiple_instances>1</allow_multiple_instances>
</application>

Make it a xml file and open through applications

No one got it working through the GPS button by the way?

just a quick note i would change


<texte_recherche>free drive 0.85</texte_recherche>

to:

<texte_recherche>free drive</texte_recherche>

just so when u update the exe file and the version number changes from 0.85 you won't have to edit the xml file

it is the window finding text and I tried it with another app
(soundcontrol) and the xml file still says free drive 0.85 but it is working!
So it's ok like this.
It's nicer to do it your way.

cheers

it is working cause your loading that app i think it actually locks the app quicker to NMC if the window text is the same as the app.

Not to sure about that netsuo will have to tell us.

how do you link it to the GPS button?

NiN^_^NiN · 08-14-2005, 04:51 AM

open up the light skin in NMC skin editor then click on all the GPS icons on each seperate page (main, audio, video etc pages)

double click on the gps buttons on each seperate page and a properties page opens up

select EXTERNAL_APPLICATION_LOAD under the short press action
Then next to it you can select the XML file that launches the gps program

Hope this helps you
