This plugin is useable for users which have Standard version of CF and would like use plugins which need navigation engine, TripComputer, GPSTrack and many others plugin which need GPS data from CFNavInfo ...
It support next data trough CFNavInfo :
Altitude
Latitude
Longitude
Direction
LockedSatellites
Speed

With CF_pluginData you can request next data:
"3DMODE" - Return "0" for NoFix, return 2D for 2D position and return 3D for 3D position
"GPSTIME" - Return GPS date and time
"DATASTATUS" - Return "Fix" if we have satellite fix and return "FixLost" if we doesn't have satellite fix.

Plugin have basic GUI which show current data!!!
If you would like enable it you must go into Setup->Navigation
Then you must select correct serial port and baud rate.
In navigation engine you must select "GPSEngine" Save settings and thats is all.
In some case you need restart CF or will close it automatic.

Note:
-You must have at least Centrafuse 4.0 (4.0.14.903) installed to run this plugin. Plugin will NOT work with older versions.
-You must have installed .NET 3.5.
-If you upgrade from older version you must delete Calc folder which is located in Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\"Your Username"\Local Settings\Application Data\Centrafuse\Plugins\
Windows vista/Windows 7:
C:\ProgramData\Centrafuse\Centrafuse Auto\"Your Username"\Plugins
-Installer will be avalible later...

Version 4.0.0.0:
-Version for Centrafuse 4.0
-Using GPSSharp library

In CF 3.5 SDK is bug which do not allow to share GPSInfo data to other plugins. Bug is already fixed and will be avalible in next Centrafuse update(3.6)...

Hello
is the speed in kmh or display in miles per hour?

I've just done a short test drive, and I realized that the speed indicator is working properly. it shows me values ​​to ridiculous and if the car I drive is still 30

I use the splitter xport

I feel sorry for the bad English (google translator)

Greetings from Germany
Lars Müller

ps:
gps mouse has 10 satellites and 3d fix

in other programs it runs perfectly

the gps mouse provides me with seven decimal places

hello

have just made ​​another test, the time is not right in the plugin and digs deeper. now have the xport and deactivated splitter with centrafuse directly to the GPS receiver connected (baud 38400) now get the data in the liquid plugin gpsengine.

However, the cpu utilization is 90% (2 x 1.66 mhz intel, asus motherboard)
get other plugins but still no gps data (but that's a bug cf)


there is a port of the splitter, the high data transmission of 38400 join in?

hello

sometimes it happens that the plugin does not hibernate after the data gets the gps mouse more .. only a reboot fixes the problem of centrafuse ... sometimes it works perfectly

It would be cool if this little bug could be fixed
many thanks

Greetings Lars

Hi,
Rebooting Centrafuse fix problem? Or rebooting windows? If second one then you have problems with GPS mouse or gps drivers which do not support sleep/hibernate. In this case I can't help a lot. If restarting CF fix problem then I will look into code and try fix it.

many thanks for the quick response

The plugin is running again when I restart Centrafuse (not xp)
Sometimes everything works without difficulty, and sometimes hangs the plugin after the return from the resting state data on old gps and speed on an old one. the problem must somehow come from gpsengine plugin, because the trip computer will continue counting the miles .. (this makes the function correctly)
gpsengine just hangs on old data eg. 23km / h or 79km / h..
kan it yesterday even before that had to be terminated Centrafuse (close error message = OK cancel = debug mode) but this error comes only when the gpsengine plugin hangs on old data ...

ic I hope I could help with my description a bit to improve the plugin
many thanks

Lars Müller

I use the trip computer and gpsengine plugin from the cfmarket

after a crash no more data in the 2 plugins
neither in nor gpsengine in trip computer

only a restart(CF) fixes the problem of the problem

gpsengine if no longer evaluates data remains in the trip computer display on which the value is received in last gpsengine.


I try to get the problem on video

gpsengine hang in the values
trip computer and then appends the speed (time and odometer works but with the speed that is stuck in gpsengine)

i make a video it is easier =)

Thanks four Helping

Uninstall plugin from market and install this one from THIS POST and report if you still have problems.
I didn't test it with connected GPS device and this is reason why Im not put in on market. I will test it in next days when I will have some free time but if you have time you can test it and report if work and how work.
