I was looking for a digital speedometer and decided to try to write my own using VB.NET 2005 Express edition.
I wrote this a few months back. I had problems with the serial port when I used xPort3, so I had to use mscomm32.ocx which is the older way to communicate with the serial port.
But anyways, here's the program to try. It doesn't run as fast as I want it to, but I think that's cause of the framework and the transparencies on my SP13000.
You can also use your own bitmap backgrounds for the displays and the fullscreen display.
Program:
GPSing
Requirements:
MSCOMM32.ocx installer - Required to communicate with GPS.
.NET 2.0 Framework - (Will prompt you to download if not installed during install.)
GPS Receiver - Any NMEA compatible receiver.
Optional:
To run GPSing with another GPS program or if you use it to hibernate and have issues with the GPS receiver being detected after resume, you can run
XPort3. A program written by another
www.mp3car.com member that splits the com ports and helps with hibernation issues.
