GPS, plugin or a solution

#1 · December 28, 2021, 6:56 pm

For VisualNeo Web I found a little example to show Latitude and Longitude ( positioning.neoapp )
Some have a solution or a plugin for Win version ?

Thanks

Hello @naglieri , you can use powershell to determine coordinates in windows.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46287792/powershell-getting-gps-coordinates-in-windows-10-using-windows-location-api

In this case, you must activate the location in windows.

@daviddeargentina made a plugin to run powershell scripts, contact him.

Good solution, it works.
Thank you

Hi @naglieri, @emmanuel-fernandez

I just addapted that script, and generate Latitude and Longitude variables

Remember you must generate each variable into the visualneowin script / plugin, because each returned variable is located via clipboard, and, when the second variable is generated, the clipboard is updated.

here is the script: (addapt yourself as you need)

Tested on powershell ISE console using win 10 and tested ok

cls

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Device #Required to access System.Device.Location namespace
$GeoWatcher = New-Object System.Device.Location.GeoCoordinateWatcher #Create the required object
$GeoWatcher.Start() #Begin resolving current locaton

while (($GeoWatcher.Status -ne 'Ready') -and ($GeoWatcher.Permission -ne 'Denied')) {
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 100 #Wait for discovery.
}

if ($GeoWatcher.Permission -eq 'Denied'){
Write-Error 'Access Denied for Location Information'
} else {
# $GeoWatcher.Position.Location | Select Latitude,Longitude #Select the relevent results.
$Lat = $GeoWatcher.Position.Location.Latitude
$Long = $GeoWatcher.Position.Location.Longitude

echo $Lat
echo $Long
}

You could get only one variable:

$ret = echo $Lat"***"$Long

The rest is StrParse as usual.

A source demo and exe if you want to test

@emmanuel-fernandez

Thank you so much for the example!! It works great!! Accuracy in my case is about 20 meters.

I noticed that powershell.exe is still hanging in the processes, maybe it makes sense to add closing this process at the end of the application.

#10 · December 30, 2021, 11:08 am

Thank you @vadim to test.

This version restart powershell ok, i remove the -noexit option in the scriopt.

Ciao Marco @naglieri,

If you still have a GPS-based project in development, I can put at your disposal an entire anti-panic button system, based on two components:

a) an Android app, which users can activate to call Police, Fire, Ambulance and other services.
b) a monitoring console, which is automatically updated every time users activate a panic alert.

Basically, users send the following information to a server ( the monitoring console):

* User ID
* Alert Id (the number generated in the database)
* Alert Type Id (Police, Fire, Ambulance, Crane, etc)
* Date and Time
* Coordinates of the location of the Alert.

All this is already finished and working.
Maybe it will give you ideas for some possible venture that we can share.

Greetings from Buenos Aires,
David from Argentina

Si todavía tienes en desarrollo algún proyecto basado en GPS, puedo poner a tu disposición todo un sistema de botón antipánico, basado en dos componentes:
a) una app para Android, que los usuarios pueden activar para llamar a Policia, a Bomberos, Ambulancias y otros servicios.
b) una consola de monitoreo, que se actualiza automáticamente cada vez que los usuarios activen un alerta de pánico.

Basicamente, los usuarios envian la siguiente información a un servidor ( la consola de monitoreo ):

* Id de Usuario
* Id de Alerta (el numero generado en la base de datos)
* Id de Tipo de Alerta (Policia, Bomberos, Ambulancias, Gruas, etc)
* Fecha y Hora
* Coordenadas de la ubicación del Alerta.

Todo esto ya está terminado y funcionando.
Tal vez te de ideas para algun posible emprendimiento que podamos compartir.

Saludos desde Buenos Aires,

Thank you, but if you remember my problem dated back to the end of December 2021.
In the meantime I have found a solution.

However, you could always prepare a demo version.
Someone might be interested.
