I have looked at many open source GPS programs that can parse GPS data from an external GPS device that connects to the computer via a serial port. But what about built-in GPS devices like a Panasonic Toughbook (a Windows XP Tablet)? Do these devices transmit their GPS data through a serial port? Thanks. ...

And send this position to a web service to represent the location from a web page. Does the phone have to have a special feature or a brand / model specific? Can you write the trace information in a fi...

Hello there, I am looking for a very simple solution of how to retrieve GPS data from WM6 cell phone. I am not looking for a GPS wrapper library (Google seems to find ONLY GPS libs...). I'd appreciate just a piece of code which does exactly this: start gps, retrieve long and lat, end gps. Nothing more. I guess with .NET Compact Framework...
Hello All, I'm new to the world of GPS. Please help me understand the following: 1) Why GPS chip is required? If the GPS antenna is enough to transmit and receive data, any normal processor could do the decoding of the received GPS data. 2) Does NaviLink 6.0 has its own GPS stack? Doesn't Android has its own GPS stack? 3) NaviLink 6....
I found some various articles about testing the GPS (corelocation) in the iPhone simulator. It seems pretty straightforward, but i can't get it to work. The error message i'am getting is: 2010-07-30 11:20:16.372 appname[50954:207] *** +[CLLocation initWithCoordinate:altitude:horizontalAccuracy:verticalAccuracy:timestamp:]: unrecogni...

I'm trying to get my current location and show it on a map. Class com.google.android.maps.MyLocationOverlay.MyLocationOverlay does most of the work for you. But it's coming back with a very coarse result that's off by a couple of clicks. I'm listening for onAccuracyChanged() but that never gets called. How can I get a more accurate...
I am writing a application that needs to draw a "route" comprised of lots of GPS points (long+lat). The points are close together and don't follow roads, simply drawing a line between each point is ideal. The current implementation I have is very slow as I am looping over all the GPS coordinates and creating a new Point and overlayitem ...

I'm interested in getting some ideas and suggestions for a server architecture for a real time geosocial app. One that tracks at the very least user locations live. Are there any stacks that favour this kind of information? Java Servlets? Darkstar/RedDwarf? Others that I'm maybe not aware of? Live connections to clients and the abi...
I need to accurately visualize points coming from iPhone (and other) GPS data in 3D. So, what I'd like is to take a WGS84 (right?) point and transform that into an X,Y,Z vector with the origin at the center of the Earth. I Googled for GPS/WGS84 to 3D but I think my search terms are not so great Does someone have a pointer for where to...
I'm investigating the possiblity of writing an app for Android/iOS4/both that would use GPS in the background. I found the "Receiving Location Events in the Background" section of the iphone developer documentation, which recommends that I only register for "significant location change" events. I'm not aware of any such capability in th...

So I have already imported one XML-ish file with 3000 elements and parsed them into a CSV for output. But I also need to import a second CSV file with 'keyword','latitude','longitude' as columns and use it to add the GPS coordinates to additional columns on the first file. Reading the python tutorial, it seems like {dictionary} is what ...
