Hi to those who have been beta-testing the "remind me where" app.
I've made version 0.2.0 beta 4 available now, but unfortunately haven't had time to redo the audio tutorial that was done for the first version. The link is: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11745142/Remind_Me_Where.wepm The changes are simplification, bug fixes, the app should now accept addresses for any location in the world (still uses English measurements for distance at the moment), and have added a dialog for specifying your default address and other settings (detailed at the bottom of this message). Thanks to those who have been testing and sent me problem reports and ideas so far! For those who are interested, Remind Me Where offers a variety of location-based features, tied into Google+ local, Google Maps, and a gps receiver if you have a laptop with one attached. You can enter points of interest into your own database, and eventually reminders tied to these points in another database. You can get lists of places near you, or around an address, or of a certain search set of criteria in a given city; you can get directions from one place to another (walking, driving, or using the transit system if your city has its transit system info available on Google). You can then go directly to the Google+ Place page for any place listed in the search results, or go to its own web site if it has one. You can start a secondary search for all the places near to the currently highlighted place from the first search. I'm not looking for people to find bugs at this point, but to come up with ideas for how the app could work better or what features could be added. I'm also putting the app out in unencrypted VBScript (it's around 12000 lines now) to help those who would like to see how to interface with various web services, use latitude and longitude based services, ad databases to your app, etc. So, if you just have related programming questions from what I'm doing that's ok also. Unfortunately I have a full-time job, so progress is slow, but I will try to get to all suggestions eventually. Thanks. Chip ' Added "options" dialog for setting the default address, and an option as to whether the IP address or the default address is preferred. ' (includes an option for specifying a preference for metric measurement units). ' Fixed issue which prevented RMW and DBDialog from being run together and to share a database. ' Fixed Get Directions dialog so that when a point is selected it does not change the address type radio button to "address" if the point ' has an address. ' Modified to allow for non-US address formats (hopefully? let me know otherwise). ' Fixed a problem with the hotkey definitions. ' Updated the associated GPS app's activeX GPS control so that it now installs and works properly under 64-bit Windows. ' Disabled some non-functional command buttons (in the list of points dialog) which otherwise were causing confusion to users of the app.
