How To: Track your GPS and replay your route
As you walk around testing your anchored mediascape it is really useful to be able to record your route so that you can see how well your GPS behaves and whether there are any problematic areas.
First you need to open your anchored mediascape in the mscape maker.
Then you need to configure the Logger object to log your GPS on Moved events.
Right click on the Logger object and select Configure Logger.
In the dialog box which pops up select the map object and tick the OnLocationChange property. Select OK to close the dialog box.
Now copy this mediascape onto your device to go out and trace your route.
Active-synch your device and choose File – Save to PDA from the mscape maker.
When you load and run this mediascape it will output a trace of your GPS readings to a file called Log in a folder called _Logger inside the content folder of your mediascape. (The output file name is specified in a property of the Logger).
To see your output trace.
First you need to copy the log file onto your pc. Find the Log.txt file on your device or SD card. You can either active synch your device and browse to it or put the SD card directly into your pc and use file explorer.
Then open up your mediascape in the mscape maker.
Right click on the map object and choose Overlay Trace.
You then need to browse to the location that you copied the log file to. The GPS trace will appear on the map as a series of dots and red lines.
To clear the trace Right click on the map object and there will be a Clear Trace option.
