Auto On/Off For windows CE5.0

Postby frozenflame » Tue Mar 20, 2012 9:40 am

I have this gps system..
It runs Win Ce 5.0. Is there any way to program it such that it will automatically turn on when the car is started and turn off when the car turns off.

Or even better, something like a garmin where it tell you that if you do not click a button in the next 30 secs, it will automatically turn off.
This would make my unit soooo awesome!

If there is already something like this for win ce 5.0... i apologize. I did a search but did not find anything.

This GPS systeem? A shame I can't see it from here.

What GPS system? Brand? Type? PNA? PDA? Smartphone? What navigation program? ...

Mortscript will allow you to shut down the device on loss of external power but waking up the device is hardware dependent.

Is it installed in the car? Is it a mobile device that is portable? Does it use a SD card? What nav are you presently using on the device? These are the questions that we need to know the answers. The name is usually not enough. Also, what is its resolution?
If it ain't broke don't fix it!

I even think this is possible with just iGO (and a skin), but even then it would be nice to know more about your device. And if it's running a GPS program, what GPS program and if not iGO, if you are willing to switch.

thanks so much for you kind reply :) really greatly appreciated

im currently running papago.

yes its a 7inch portable device running on wince, and its resolution should most likely be 800 x 480 if my memory never prove me wrong. :)

im running an 8gb SD card on it too :)

i guess im not willing to change gps software as i am very comfortable with my current software :)

Thank you so very much!!

If Papago is your choice then you should post in the Papago general discussion area.

I wrote a little Mortscript app that suspends the device on loss of external power, however it will need to be tweaked for what you want to achieve, I'll post it later...

Download the attachment from this post...

Place all the files from within the archive into the same directory where Papago.exe is...

When running Auto Power Off.exe your device will suspend five seconds after external power is disconnected, Running it again will end this feature.

If you're able to run this script before running Papago then that's all you do, but if you can't, you can call Papago from within the script...

Open Power.mscr with Notepad on your PC and add the line...

Run (SystemPath("ScriptPath")\"Papago.exe")

...to the top of the script, Save and exit.

Obviously change Papago.exe to match what the executable is...

Then set your device to run Auto Power Off.exe.

If you need to rename Auto Power Off.exe so it can be started by the device then also rename Auto Power Off.mscr to match...

You may need to play around with the filenames...

hello, this auto power off script work fine, i add it to my "noname" gps.
Fatboyfun > maybe you can edit this script like a garmin? when the power source off, GPS ask to push button to continue on battery, and if you do not click a button in the next 20 secs, it will automatically suspend? thanx.
