GPS Tracking
 

Hi,

I just got my own N810 Tablet and it seems like I'm already having my first questions.
I going to start a School project with a friend of mine for what we want to use the N810 as a bicycle computer in combination with my bikes dynamo and the Nokias GPS chip to do some tracking and analyzing in OpenStreetMap. I'm really looking forward to do that as school project ;) .
I already borrowed a N810 from a friend to try some GPS tracking by doing cat /dev/pts/0. It worked fine but I always had to start the Map application before I was able to get GPS coordinates. My N810 is running DIablo now and I don't have any idea how to get the usual GPGGA, etc. Strings. It doesn't even work if I start the Map application and read the /dev/pts/0 data afterwards.
Is there a good tutorial how and in which order I have to start gpsd, gpsdriver and what ever is necessary to read the data from a pseudo file like I was able to do it with /dev/pts/0.
I'm planing to do the whole thing in Java by using Jalimo so the existing gps C api is properly not the right thing for me.

Try maemo mapper.

I'm not sure if Maemo Mapper is exactly what I'm looking for. I don't want a graphical application which shows me nice maps and my location. I want the row $GPGGA,$GPGLL,$GPGSA, $GPGST, $GPGSV .... data to do my own analyzing with that later.

I think I get all that as a side benefit.

Try something like this to start it yourself: http://maemo.org/api_refs/4.1/libgpsmgr-0.2/index.html

Re: GPS Tracking
 

you can try to install netcat (the package is somewhere out there, but I remember having some version-related problems)...

personally, i do: echo rw | nc localhost 2947 | grep "GPSD,O=RMC" | awk '{print $4,$5}'
to get the coordinates

However, I usually start the gpsd with maemomapper... I'm not sure how to run it from the CLI

I have some example python code at the bottom of this page which may be what you want:

Oops... just noticed you have already chosen Java.

Re: GPS Tracking
 

nice work :)
I think I'll use your code.

Please tell me more about your project. I use trekbuddy (very very cool piece of software) together with my phone. The result is a simple bike computer :cool:

Upgate I found that i can use GPSgate.com for my tracking needs from my n810 . update right over http like this you can also update via user name and pass. NOTE:replace 00000000000 with your own IMEI I just used my cell phone number

Now I need help makeing an APP that will auto update this URL with my GPS info . every 30 sec or so . maybe some one can send me some info on how i can pull this data in this format !


If you like to test it it is very cool go to gpsgate.com and signup for a free account !


Thanks
