Version 3.0.2

9/23/2013 8:17:10 AMFixed issue which brought up an unneeded security dialog when installing the activeX control under XP; this dialog would often keep the activeX control from registering properly. Now the dialog will no longer appear for XP users.

Version 3.0.1

9/17/2013 2:00:07 PM

• Includes an updated activeX control with a bug-fix which prevents it from displaying error dialogs when it is unable to open a com port.
• Fixed issue where selecting the app menu item to search for a GPS receiver would not start if an app had previously initialized the GPS;
' also, if this choice is unchecked, it now closes the GPS (if it had been opened) and halts any search of the COM ports which may have ' been initiated.
• Better registering of the activeX GPS control.
• better error reporting for any problems with registering of the activeX control for the GPS receiver.

Version 3.0.0

6/3/2013 3:22:25 PMPurchased a new GPS activeX control (included) which works with 64-bit Windows (unlike the previously used activeX, which would register, but not function, under 64-bit Windows). The new control will automatically register itself. Other various minor issues corrected.

Version 2.3.1

5/16/2013 9:17:15 PMFixed an issue which caused an error message when attempting to install on 64-bit Windows.

Version 2.3.0

4/10/2013 3:59:35 PM

• Added function GetDefaultAddress(), which returns the default location set in the Windows 7 Location API (set via a control panel applet).
• Added a "Status: " display to the app menu, to show the current status of any GPS receiver.
• Fixed issues, including some with the use of the Windows 7 Location API.

Version 2.2.4

2/20/2013 11:06:45 AM

• Fixed bug in function EstimatePosition which would cause it not to report any position.
• Fixed HDOP tone values so that the lowest possible values don't generate tones too low to hear.
• Improved position accuracy report when staying still or moving slowly.

Version 2.2.3

2/15/2013 9:23:08 PMMultiple bug fixes; should be much more reliable now.

Version 2.2.2

1/10/2013 11:39:31 AMImproved installation for optional activeX control for GPS receivers.

Version 2.2.1

11/18/2012 4:50:03 PMNow requests permission before installing the included activeX control for interfacing with a GPS receiver. Without this warning, some users would be faced with an unknown UAC prompt.

Version 2.2.0

11/10/2012 4:44:00 PMModified to ask user if it is ok before registering a needed activeX control (such a registration will possibly trigger a UAC prompt on Windows Vista and later).

Version 2.1.0

11/4/2012 4:14:30 PM

• Added function GPSVersion().
• Modified functions so that they will return a position from the Win7/8
location Sensor API if no GPS is currently working.
• Modified function HasAFix() so that it will return a report which also includes the Win7 location API if no GPS is currently working.
(so now, use HasAFix() instead of GPSWorking() to determine if a position is known, and use GPSWorking() to determine if a GPS receiver is available).
• Added an app menu choice to allow user to prevent app from constantly searching for a COM connection to a GPS receiver (if user knows one isn't available).

Version 2.0.0

5/21/2012 7:56:14 PM

• Added function GPSHasFix() to GPS shared object.
• Added new shared object LatLon
(containing properties Latitude, Longitude, and methods distanceTo(), DescriptiveDistance(), bearingTo(), relativeBearingTo(), DescriptiveBearing(), DescriptiveRelativeBearingTo(), and formattedLatLon())
• Added GPS menu to the Apps menu, which contains options for playing/speaking ques when various GPS events occur.
(change in GPS connected status; change in fix status, etc.)
• Added methods CurrentLatLon() and NewLatLon() to the GPS shared object; they return an object of the new class LatLon.
• Added included My_Location.vbs sample program.

Version 1.24

3/20/2012 2:11:16 PMFixed bug in installation/registration of included Waymex NMEA activeX control. Made slight change to data locking for multi-client use. Switched to ErrorReporting2 from GW Toolkit, which looks for an update after an error. Modified function EstimatePosition to better handle unknown or estimated position reports, and to better make use of HDOP.
