There are quite a few excellent GPS tracker application around, but still I decided to write my own... It is known that the GPS hardware takes a lot of battery power, so I wanted to be able to switch GPS on/off on pre-defined intervals, instead of keeping it ON all the time.
The tool logs GPS data into a binary files, which can be loaded back for viewing, or saved into .kml / .gpx, to view in e.g. GoogleEarth. Tested on Diamond (standard UK model with standard ROM).
Please read "Readme.html" inside .zip for instruction.
A complete source code in C# is attached as well. Feel free to change anything you like, but please send me you comments/bug fixes.
version 1.17 Added LookAt tag, to position the "camera" correctly, so hopefully you will see it OK in GoogleEarth. Added output into .GPX.
version 1.18 Fixed the kml output (finally!?) - was writing commas instead of dots in some regional setting
version 1.21. Completely re-written GPS engine, shall be much more stable now. Removed GPS valid time settings (was confusing), have a new algorithm to detect fresh GPS samples after an OFF time. Added GPS status indicator to show num sats, SNR, DHOP, etc.
version 2.25. Thanks to expo7, the tool has a new look ! Also you can set your own images for button/background (see readme)
version 2.27. Created CAB file: had to write own FileOpen dialog, as the build-in one did not want to see any files if installed into "Program Files". Added knots/nautical miles to display units. Added time and altitude to every point in GPX output.
