Whelp, I got the MFC app up and running again. It turned out to not be a big deal. It was already using the (old) ASMX, so it was mostly a matter of updating a few param issues, some fixes (like… it wasn’t showing or using Country Code), etc. It seems to work pretty well, even though I still need to re-test with the Garmin. I also added a debug check box, so you can use whatever’s on COM1 as the source of Lat/Lon, or the “debug” mode of the layer I wrote (which will try to get a Lat/Lon string from a file on c:/ or will default one on return).
So, I now need to clean it up a bit and get it on the site. Then I’ll be starting on the VB application. I’m thinking as soon as both of those are done, I’m going to get the laptop out, get a wireless network up and running locally, and test with that. I’d like to actually SEE the location aware stuff work. You know, walk around, and have the laptop beep when I get near the mailbox, telling me I’m next to it, WTF don’t you check it? Beep when it gets near a tree in the front yard, telling me what kind of tree it is, etc.
