New Coding4Fun : Where am I? What am I doing?

Friday, August 31, 2007 9:39 PM

After too long of a hiatus, I finally published a new article to the MSDN Coding 4 Fun section. I love my GPS receivers (I have an Ambicom Bluetooth unit and a Garmin serial/USB), and I decided that it was about time to learn how to interface with them. As an application, I decided to write a plugin for Windows Live Writer (my blog poster of choice!). Now I can click a button to insert my current coordinates and an embedded Virtual Earth map at my location. Not much point at home, but next time I'm traveling somewhere, it could be a cool way to keep track of the trip. Now, I just need to geocode more of my photos...

Hey,
I have a Garmin device that is straight USB. I cannot seem to get this to connect correctly. When i connect my device i see that it shows up in the device manager under a Garmin USB section. I believe this is a reason why i can't get the serial port to recognize it. Have you come accross anything that could help me get pass this problem. Thanks looking forward to your response. 2/4/2008 5:27 PM | Kevin
