external app interfering with my math calculations


Recommended Posts

...OK, not really an external program, but an object. This object is a third party wmp visualizer. Its compiled in Microsoft Visual Studio and Xcode/gcc using C++. It apparently uses sin and cos to do its calculations to do its visualization. My issue is it seems to be hijacking my calculations to determine gps distances between coordinates.

(This is where things go wrong in the second code box below)

;==How many miles away POI Coord are from current coord
            $MILES = $DistCalc * ACos(Sin($LT1) * Sin($LT2) + Cos($LT1) * Cos($LT2) * Cos($LG2 - $LG1))
            ;==Notification distance (feet) converted to miles/kilometers
            $POIDNOTIFY = $NAV_OPTIONS_ARRAY[13][0] * $MathCalc
            ;==Convert distance between current coord and current POI from miles/kilometers to feet
            $DISTANCENOTIFY = $MILES / $MathCalc

My function searches through a list of location coordinates, and if it sees one is within a specified distance from me it alerts me to how far it is. Problem is like I said, this visualization seems to be interrupting me. When I change the visualization to any other one of MS own stock ones, the issue goes away.

What can I do? I really want to use this particular visualization. The only thing I came up with that I don't really want to do, is separate this particular gps function into an external app and have it communicate with the main app. The other thing I thought of, but don't know the equations involved, is to take the cos and sin out a functions "environment" and write out the actual equation and hope that wont get interrupted. Here are the two portions involved, hopefully that is enough for someone to give me some insight. The first is the wmp visualization object being created, and the second is the gps coordinate search. Here is a link to the website with the visualization so you can see what I'm using. https://www.soundspectrum.com/whitecap/faq.html#customize

Thanks for any help.
