Path Finder system for PDAs and Pocket PCs
-
Hello. I am a final year student in electrical and electronics engineering. I am taking up a project on a path finding system.The system is to seek the shortest and fastest distances between two locations on a map with considerations of the number of traffic lights and timing of the traffic lights. I am looking for source codes for a Global Positioning System (GPS) software to be run on a pocket PC.I am unsure of which platform to use, Access , Visual Basic or SQL. The guys in Telmap and mapopolis are doing it, but how? I hope to hear from anyone who is interested. Thanks.

Hi, Stay away from Visual Basic. Pocket Access is usable but not very powerful. If you want raw power in your application, there is only one way to go: C++ and SQL Server CE 2.0. GPS receivers generally work through the COM port. I have some code for that, but perhaps you want to check out this book first: Windows CE 3.0 Application Programming Nick Grattan Marshall Brain Prentice Hall PTR[^]

There is a very nice article about GPS at http://www.codeproject.com/system/gps_support.asp. Daniel ;) --------------------------- Never change a running system!
