Hello,
I am working on a simple program that does the following:
Visual Basic program:
- Read GPS data from FSUIPC
- Push this data to MySql database on the internet every 10 secs
PHP script:
- Show current GPS position on Google Maps (auto update)
The basic version works (see current position):
http://www.steef.net/flight2/
Next steps are:
- Heading (show plane-icon in the direction of the current heading)
- Show flightpath (polyline)
- Review flights
- Show date / time of the last position
Is there already a freeware program like this? I personally like it very much because during flight I can see exactly where I am. It gives me a new dimension to my flight.
If there is no program like this, is there interest for this by others?
