Need help in GPS application

[zack]

Hi, I've found a website that is what exactly I needed to do for my school project but I really have no idea how to start or how to do. It'll be best if there are examples(source codes) for this.

It reads the NMEA file that you uploaded and shows the route that you have taken:
http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/

*goto convert a GPS data file > upload the NMEA file > check the GPX radiobutton > click convert to text > click JPEG and the route will show.

The problem is I have to do this in Vb.Net, using a pocket PC. But I have no samples/examples and knowlegde on it. Please help!!

You can allow the user to select a file using the OpenFileDialog class. You can read the data file into your app using a StreamReader. It's then up to you what you want to do with the data it contains. I'm not really prepared to go into too much detail, given that this is a school project. I suggest you make a start and then post back if you have any specific problems along the way.

Edit:
Note that all properties and methods that are supported by the Compact Framework are annotated as such in the help documentation. I suggest that you check the member list for each class you intend to use to see which members are supported.

There is a program called Mapinfo X Mobile (www.mapinfo.com), which will help you to create map application.
The control classes only can used with Visual Studio 2005.
