[updated] GPS2Clipboard V1.6

[oruam57]

GPS2Clipboard gets the GPS position data and copy them to the clipboard from where they can be pasted to any application with a paste command (for example an SMS or e-mail editor).
As different programs may use different GPS data formats GPS2Clipboard can format them as sexagesimal, fractional, decimal and as a Google Maps link ready to be pasted in an Internet Browser or a Google Kml placemark ready to be used by Google Earth.
Moreover, GPS2Clipboard show visually the quality of the GPS signal to help in obtaining a good position data.

I love the sound if this, Screen shots?

very nice little prog.

i hope you can add some config options (port/baud).

i used it and it is very simple and straight to the point, just one bug, it didn't add the minus "-" sign to indicate my location was in the nothern hemisphere.

Very good idea, how about displaying the coordinates in the program aswell (displaying them in the chosen format)?

[oruam57]

i hope you can add some config options (port/baud)..

When the default port and buadrate are not ok a Setup button appears and you can change them. At any rate they can be found them under the registry key HKCU/software/GPS2Clipboard

Ops! Would you kindly post a capture of the screen in this condition (or transcribe the displayed values) and how the values should be correctely displayed.

When the fix is available they already are.

Here is the Google Maps link
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=33.94517500,83.37421333&z=14&t=k

should be -83 (i think this would be longitude (east/west greenwich), rather than latitude (north/south equator))

[adidas4275]

that was funny, i clicked on the link and was a like, WTF you are in the middle of no where... but then i added the - to the 2nd number and it was right on a house.



great program, if the - shows up :)

Try the new version, hope it works as it should.

[Belerofontes]

It's possible to send the coordinates of a POI in TomTom instead of the GPS position?.

Thank you.

[AthenaLod]

Try the new version, hope it works as it should.

Looks like you fixed the coordinates, but you broke the copy to clip board feature!

That was when I tried the CAB, but when I tried to copy the exe and the dll, it worked!

It makes no sense to me, the files inside the cab are binary equal to the unpacked exe and dll (I just checked). Would you give me some more details?

oruam57, congratulations good application!!

I installed it on a HTC Touch Cruise, but I can't get it to see it on Google Maps

the GPS2Clipboard output is

DUE TO PRIVACY REASONS I SUBSTITUED numbers by XX & Y...

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=XX,XXXXXXXX,-Y,YYYYYYYY&z=14&t=k

and the Google Maps says that does NOT exists!

If I go directly to the same point directly in Google Maps and copy the GPS address, it is

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=es&geocode=&q=XX,XXXXXXXX,-Y,YYYYYYYY&sll=XX.XXXXXX,YY.YYYYYY&sspn=XX.XXXXX,YY.YYYYYY&ie=UTF8&ll=XX.XXXXXX,-Y.YYYYYY&spn=0.003743,0.009978&t=h&z=17

Could you explain or have a fix for it?

Thanks in advance.

EDITED:

and if instead this output from your application lat,lon: N 0XX°XX'XX,XX",W 00Y°YY'YY,YY" you modify it to 0XX°XX'XX,YY" N, 00Y°YY'YY,YY" W, it works with Google Earth. Thanks.

Tried it again, and it is working now! I don't know what was happening, but, works like a charm now... good job.

I have also noticed that a setup button appears if there was a problem connecting to the GPS port to allow for the setup of the port/baud.

Good job!

and the Google Maps says that does NOT exists!

I suspect it is the awfull habit of windows of using the regional settings even if no one asked for it. Would you please replace the commas with dots as below

maps.google.com/maps?q=XX.XXXXXXXX,-Y.YYYYYYYY&z=14&t=k

and report the result. If it works I will modify the program accordingly.

[BetoX]

YES, it is working NOW!!

Thanks again.

Great apps. I have one suggestion. Please add support fow customized url for map link, for example something like this:

http://www.mapy.cz/?st=search&fr=Loc:$lat+$lon, where $lat, $lon will be replacet with coordinates in degree (like google maps)

[oruam57]

Please add support fow customized url for map link

If you look under the registry key HKCU/software/GPS2Clipboard you will found some string values named "...Format" that contain the C# formatting string used to generate the program output. There the 0 and 1 placeholders ({0:f8} and {1:f8}) stand for the latitude and longitude values.

For example the "GoogleLinkFormat" contains

"http://maps.google.com/maps?q={0:f8},{1:f8}&z=14&t=k"

To have a different url you should simply modify that string (at your risk, of course :-), so copy the old string just in case...)

[oruam57]

It's possible to send the coordinates of a POI in TomTom instead of the GPS position?

POI is a binary, not text, format so the answer is no. But you can send the sexagesimal format and the receiver can input it with the command Navigate to.../Latitude Longitude

[BetoX]

...If it works I will modify the program accordingly.

now with v1.6 works perfectly!! Thanks ORUAM.

[ac7]

I can't seem to make it run, it returns error "Com port error received UART"

The com port is set the same as my MioMap settings.

Cheers

The program doesnt work with my HTC Diamond.
I get the message "Error in Process_gpvtg".
How can I fix this? Does the program work on any other HTC Diamond?

My settings: com4 + 9600 Baud rate

[nir36]

wonderful app!.
thanks a lot

It doesn't work on my Diamond either :( - same error.
Too bad, it's a lot more useful than LocationSMS.

[itesla]

Just scanned through this and have a request/comment. This would be great to use with MortScript I think if it can/could do these things...
-when it runs, show no GUI (command line option to hide it maybe -nogui)
-save the lat lon speed heading date time etc into registry that mortscript could then read back. Some format options might help reduce script size

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

[MasterMaster2]

Give it user usefull apps like this for the HTC Diamond ?.

[jimmydu3]

would love -nogui option that saves to default values too! Thanks for the program.

[bboyneko]

hey this works wonderfully, thanks for the app!

I get the same error on a HTC Touch HD, Error in Process_gpvtg, while using COM4 and 4800baud.
However when i change the settings to COM1 and 4800 baud, and start the program again, than it quickly finds the location, but after 0.5 sec the coordinates dissapear and the same error message shows up "Error in Process_gpvtg"....
How can i get this program to work :mad:, it is exactly what I needed...

I don't know what happened yesterday, but today outside I got GPS connection within notime and it worked flawlessly.
Sorry...

Does anyone have a SOLUTION FOR DIAMOND ???????????

I have the same error massage with SE X1i. I downloaded an older version, first uninstalled the V1.6, then installed the older (V1.5), and it works great!!!
Link to the V1.5:

[luckyuser]

Didn't work on my Touch HD. I installed both V1.5 and 1.6.By version 1.5 I could see the coordinates ones, but couldn't copy them to clipboard. Copykey was greyedout.:confused:

Where and why should I adjust the com and baudrate on the internal gps?

Would be a good app if it works, I tried many of this app but they also 'didn't work!:o

i m using Sony Ericsson Xperia x1..
when i installd it 1st , it worked well for abt 3 or 4 times,
now i m getting same error (process_gpvtg)..
i keep restarting d app, smetimes its gettng d coordinates but smetimes d error is cming..
any solution??
plz
i used both versions 1.5 and 1.6..

[Klvn8r]

1.6 Works on Polaris.
The Decimal and both Google formats don't have the - on the latitude for southern hemisphere use however which needs to be edited after pasting so they work correctly.
Other formats are correct.
