Default TomTom gps launcher

EDIT: Updated new version:

This is a universal gps proxy launcher, hardset to launch tomtom to begin with, but configurable to launch anything you like and know the path to. When you first run it a new file will be created at \gpslaunch.ini. This file has 1 line, the path to a app you want to launch. By default it will be the main memory location tomtom is installed to. Feel free to change it as you like for other apps.

What it does:
Open the GPS port properly, and then launch the app, 30 seconds later it exits leaving just your new app running and using the gps.

Enjoy!

This app launches only tomtom, it's not settable, but it's also not a .NET app. I wrote this because I hate .net and refused to run a .net launcher as it takes more memory and cpu then it should. This simple opens the port, waits 2.5 seconds, launches tomtom, waits 30 seconds, and exits unless you told it not to.

I could revise it a bit if there is demand but it works in present form.
