Conclusion of the results
As you can see, the GPS Plugin is evidently quicker. But I'd like to re-iterate I didn't set out to create a faster process. If you think that PAWN will win in a PAWN vs C++ race you must be delusional.
I set out to create what it says on the tin, a PAWN GPS route calculator. I wanted to do this as the GPS Plugin is heavily broken for linux, it doesn't play nice with crashdetect, causing crashing, hanging etc.
I'm not here to take away credibility of the GPS Plugin, but by two people, I've been told it's bad in other terms, but you can't take away the credibility of the super speed for the Plugin version.
Pros:
Plugin:
- Currently has more features.
- Speed
PAWN:
- Direct array access
- No loading of plugins and using of additional RAM.
- Easy to edit
Currently it only has the basic fundamentals of a GPS Calculator, but I'll be adding additional features just like the plugin has.
