Ski Status monitor

Introduction

I just made a "Ski status monitor" that tracks information from Friluftsetaten about the trails you want to use. When you minimize the application it puts an icon in the windows Taskbar. Clicking on the icon maximizes the main window.

Highlighted Trail Updates

Configuration

The SkiStatus.exe.config configuration file lets you set the application configuration parameters. Trails to watch are set as coordinate points that you can find by inspecting the AJAX web service calls toward the interactive map application at http://webhotel2.gisline.no/turkart_loeypekart/. You can also set your proxy server address as well as the delay in seconds before the application polls for updated information.
