tracking application with vb.net, gm862-gps module and googlemaps

[fridrai]

Hi all
I am trying to develop a tracking application by the use of python to write the script for the gm862-gps module, and .net for the desktop window application, which code is:

Imports System.Text
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Timers





Public Class Tracking_Theft

Private Sub butnsrchmap_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles butnsrchmap.Click
Try

Dim Street As String = String.Empty
Dim City As String = String.Empty
Dim Zip As String = String.Empty
Dim IMEI As Decimal = Decimal.Zero
Dim Lattitude As Decimal = Decimal.Zero
Dim Longitude As Decimal = Decimal.Zero
Dim Number_Of_Satellites As Integer = Integer.MinValue
Dim queryAdress As New StringBuilder()
queryAdress.Append("https://maps.google.com/mapps?q=")

'build street part query
If txtstreet.text <> String.Empty Then
Street = txtstreet.Text.Replace(" ", "+")
queryAdress.Append(Street + "," & "+")
End If

'build city part query
If cmbxcity.Text <> String.Empty Then
City = cmbxcity.Text.Replace(" ", "+")
queryAdress.Append(City + "," & "+")
End If

'build zip part query
If txtzip.Text <> String.Empty Then
Zip = txtzip.Text.Replace(" ", "+")
queryAdress.Append(Zip + "," & "+")
End If

'build IMEI part query
If txtimei.Text <> String.Empty Then
IMEI = txtimei.Text.Replace(" ", "+")
queryAdress.Append(IMEI + "," & "+")
End If

'build latitude part query
If txtlatitude.Text <> String.Empty Then
Lattitude = txtlatitude.Text.Replace(" ", "+")
queryAdress.Append(Lattitude + "," & "+")
End If

'build longitude part query
If txtlongitude.Text <> String.Empty Then
Longitude = txtlongitude.Text.Replace(" ", "+")
queryAdress.Append(Longitude + "," & "+")
End If

'build Number of Stellites part query
If txtnumbsat.Text <> String.Empty Then
Number_Of_Satellites = txtnumbsat.Text.Replace(" ", "+")
queryAdress.Append(Number_Of_Satellites + "," & "+")
End If

WebBrowser1.Navigate(queryAdress.ToString())


Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message.ToString(), "Unable to load the map")

End Try
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick

daylab.Text = " " & Now.ToShortDateString
timelab.Text = "" & Now.ToShortTimeString

End Sub

End Class

while running, I can not do search by key words inserted into the text boxes of my subwindow, I find myself limited tosearch by entering keywords in the text zone of the google map area
does the fact of having used the split container as a deviding page tool, disable the relation between the text zone and the webbrowser?
thx in advance for help

problem resolved, it was just a spelling mistake: mapps which i replaced by maps ;)
now, i still have another problem, i can find just by zip code, city and street, how should i make it workable by latitude and longitude?
i've tried to replace it by

'build latitude part query 
If txtlatitude.Text <> String.Empty Then 
Lattitude = txtlatitude.Text.Replace(" ", "+") 
queryAdress.Append(Lattitude + "," & "+") 
End If

 'build longitude part query 

If txtlongitude.Text <> String.Empty Then
 Longitude = txtlongitude.Text.Replace(" ", "+") 
queryAdress.Append(Longitude + "," & "+") 
End If

but it still do not find by geographical coordinates :'(

another punctuation mistake, no need for the comma after the the longitude, i've replaced it by:

 If txtlongitude.Text <> String.Empty Then
 Longitude = txtlongitude.Text.Replace(" ", "+") 
queryAdress.Append(Longitude  & "+") 
End If

and now it works
last question: can i get how much satellites has my gps tracker detected ?
