GPS Launcher

DO NOT USE THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE A VALID REASON FOR DOING SO. USE THIS INSTEAD!

Update:

GPS Launcher has been pretty much abandoned, and has been superseded by BAF GPS Toggle. It is unlikely that this application will be further developed, as it has several design flaws and it's purpose is better fulfilled by BAF GPS Toggle.

You are free to download and use the application should you choose to, however I may or may not be able to assist you if you need support.

Summary:
BAF's GPS Launcher allows you to run GPS software that is not coded for the GPS intermediary driver without running Google Maps, Holodux, QuickGPS, etc in the background. On the first run, you will configure the path to your GPS program's exe file, and the timeout.

The path to the exe should be the FULL path (ex: \Program Files\iGo\iGo.exe). The timeout specifies how long the launcher will keep the GPS port opened for the software you are launching. The application has to open on Com 4 (9600 baud) before the timeout for it to remain active. After the timeout, the launcher will close it's open GPS ports and exit, leaving just your GPS software running with GPS working.

If you need to reconfigure, either edit \bafgpsconfig.txt (first line is program, second line is timeout) or delete said text file to have the program show the configuration GUI. Make sure you click the save button on the config page, as that is the only way it will save (out of me overlooking the close button trying to get this released).

The exe can be found below. Just copy it anyplace on your device and run it.
