AstroGPSLauncher - Launch Tomtom/iGuidance/Other

[AstronusX]

Would it be possible to integrate it into one program along with your launcher?

Not a good idea, since AstroGPSlauncher will stay in memory while launch up the application to keep GPS connection alive. I refer it separate to keep the memory size as small as possible. How often you do need to config it anyway? Currently no short cut configuration for it yet, you can still use 'SK Shortcut Manager' to configure it.

I'm a little confused... I have Tomtom, and have placed both the tomtom shortcut into the root dir as well as the AstroGPSLauncher.exe file. I still get the file cannot be opened error. How are you editing the shortcut and changing the paremeters? I think I have overlooked somehthing really easy!

For people have problem to get AstroGPSLauncher to work
Please use 'SK Shortcut Manager to create a shortcut for you and simplify your process

Sk Shortcut Manager can be download here http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Sy...er-18241.shtml

[SK Shortcut Manager]
Create new Shortcut
Name = you provide
Command = select AstroGPSLauncher
Parameters = select your gps application
and set icon to your gps application.

YOu can uninstall SK Shortcut Manager after done create a shortcut for your GPS

If you use iGuidance, you can use TalynOne 'iGuidanceInternalGPSLauncher.mscr', with GPSGate to get one step launch solution

I love the program, Thank you. I created an Icon for yahoo to go 2 becuase it also needs for the GPS to be primed.

Just wondering if we can make this one sticky? It is the best app I have found so far to fire up the GPS and launch desired navigation program. Also here are some simple step by step instruction on how to install and set up AstroGPSLauncher

• Create the folder in main memory of your phone "AstroGPSLauncher"

• Copy AstroGPSLauncher.exe to the folder in your Main Memory \AstroGPSLauncher\

• As long as the program you want to launch is installed to main memory (default) then you can simply copy the included desired shortcuts to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs

• Now simply launch your desired program by using the new shortcut which has launcher added to the name I.E.
  • TomTom Launcher - this will start the internal GPS and launch TomTom at the same time

edit: Oops, I left out the iGuidance Launcher shortcut in the zip file. , it's in there now

Thank you AstronusX for the great app =D>

Sorry I am still a bit lost. I now have the AstroGPSLauncher.exe and the short cut iGuidance Launcher in their own dedicated folder. This new AstroGPS folder is sitting in my program files folder on the device memory. When I tap the short cut i get the "cannot open, certificate" error.

What am i doing wrong? Do i need the SK Shortcut Manager? Can anyone post it in case i do need it?

So far I have GPSGate and iNav 4.0 on my mogul. I hope the AstroGPS launcher really helps speed up he process of opening iNav.

As for using the TalynOne mortscript launcher, I read the instructions and got really lost. I downloaded the files and have them waiting in the wings for when i finally read a good tutorial or figure it out on my own.

**edit**

I moved AstroGPSLauncher folder up the the root device memory (in there where the windows folder is under my device) The AstroGPSlauncher will open iNav now. However, I still need to start GPSgate manually after iNav is open. Good thing is the GPSgate icon turns green with a fixed lock right after opening it.
I am guessing this is were I need to go one step further and figure out the TalynOne launcher to open GPSGate and Inav all in one step. Correct?

Thanks!
