GpsTools + GpsGate.com
If you don't use GpsTools, but still want to integrate your application to GpsGate.com, please read this protocol specifications
here.
Show position data from GpsGate.com in your GpsTools application
This guide will show you how to display a set of user (buddies) from GpsGate.com
in real time on your GpsTools map.
1. Introduction
Using GpsGate.com SDK + GpsTools you can easily show positions fetched from GpsGate.com on a
GpsTools map. You can only get positions from users that are in your buddy list.

2. Getting everything in place
1. Create an account by GpsGate.com
2. Download and install GpsTools SDK
3. Download and install GpsGate.com SDK
4. Open the "SimpleMap" or "MultiMap" sample and make the changes you find below. You need to make a reference to "GpsGate.Client.dll" found in GpsGate.com SDK
3. The code
using GpsGate.Client;
private GpsGateClient m_client = null;
private ListDictionary m_listPosition = new ListDictionary();
public delegate void UpdateDelegate();
void ConnectToGpsGateCom()
{
// GpsGate.com server
m_client = new GpsGateClient("online.gpsgate.com", 30175);
// Events
m_client.TrackPointReceived += new GpsGateClient.TrackPointReceivedHandle(m_client_TrackPointReceived);
m_client.Disconnected += new GpsGateClient.DisconnectdHandle(m_client_Disconnected);
// Connect (create account on GpsGate.com)
m_client.Connect("username", "password");
// Start receiving data for buddy list. Max speed of 5 second intervals
m_client.RequestBuddyListTrackPoints(5);
}
void m_client_TrackPointReceived(GpsGateClient client, Franson.Geo.TrackPoint trackPoint, string strUsername)
{
// Will be called when any user in your buddy list updates his position
// NOTE! This method is called in a new thread!
// If shared data is used Invoike() or lock() must be used to make
// sure we don't get any threading errors!
// See if we have a position stored for this username
GpsToolsNET.Position posTools = (GpsToolsNET.Position) m_listPosition[strUsername];
if (posTools == null)
{
posTools = new GpsToolsNET.Position();
// Keep it in list. Updating those positions will later move objects on map
m_listPosition.Add(strUsername, posTools);
// Create a label which we position
GpsViewNET.Label labelUser = map1.NewLabel();
labelUser.Text = strUsername;
labelUser.Brush.Transparent = false;
labelUser.Position = posTools;
}
// GpsGate.Client.Position are not the same as GpsToolsNET.Position
// We need to copy the lon/lat info
posTools.Longitude = trackPoint.Position.Longitude;
posTools.Latitude = trackPoint.Position.Latitude;
// Map.Update() must be called in GUI thread.
Invoke(new UpdateDelegate(m_Update));
}
void m_Update()
{
// Called in GUI thread
map1.Update();
}

Hi,
I am having some problems with the codes. I have added "GpsGate.Client". But I still have errors like "GpsViewNET.Map" is not defined" etc.
Can someone advise me? |

The sample above requires GpsTools SDK as well: http://franson.com/gpstools
Note that you don't need GpsTools SDK to send data, it is only used to display the map in the sample above.

Well, you create a project for Pocket PC, include the assemblies for Pocket PC and so on. It is the exact same thing, only that you do a Pocket PC project.
