After a lot more searching I still haven't found exactly what I want, so I've figured out a work-around. This involves using a utility called "Keyboard and Mouse Simulator" (KBMS), obtainable from here:
https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Sys...ator.shtml
Basically I've set it up to work in conjunction with RouteConverter so that it simulates the down arrow key at regular intervals to scroll the map as the train journey (on video) progresses.
I used the following routine in KBMS:
[REPEAT #1] x20
[WAIT] 7500
[PRESSKEY] [1] 40;down
[END-REPEAT #1]
Note that the [WAIT] setting of 7500 mSec gives an overall delay of about 15 Sec in real life, this is because the [REPEAT] function is in itself slow, and the timing of the loop probably depends on what else is going on in the computer at the same time.
NOTE: The Project Setting "On simulation/record start" must be set to "Move to system tray" otherwise KBMS always stays in focus and it scrolls down its own listing!
This is what you do:
Start KBMS and load the project you wish to use.
Start RouteConverter and load the map and position list.
Click the start item in the position list, this also makes sure the position list is in focus.
Press F5, this is the default hot-key to start the KBMS routine running, (F6 is the default stop key). At this point KBMS should disappear onto the system tray and focus passed to the position list. It's best not to have any other windows open at the time if possible to ensure that focus does go to RouteConverter, check the taskbar to make sure.
The map pointer in RouteConverter should make its way along the track as the video plays. In order to keep sync I set the waypoints at regular intervals, for the train I used 15 secs. It's trial and error to set the [WAIT] parameter in KBMS. If you get out of sysnc you can always use the mouse to select another position in the list and waypoint selection will carry on from there.
