Can you tell me how to decode the GPS time value returned from the 'Python-GPSbt' routines i.e. gpsdevice.fix.time? This is described here:
http://pymaemo.garage.maemo.org/docu...les/index.html
For me, the value returned looks like:
1206643018.0
I guess this is some sort of encoded GPS date/time value?
Thanks
EDIT: I think I found the answer -- in this case, the code is returning the UNIX internal time i.e. the number of seconds elapsed since 1970/010/01. Just to make matters even more confusing, sometimes 'GPS time' is the number of seconds elapsed from 1980/01/06.
