Do you know where can I find the source code of the location api??

http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...cation_methods

I want to use the part of the code for getting the speed and tweak it to allow me to get speed more than time per second

thanks

Someone could post the simpliest way to get a GPS location in a Python script, or a link to a code. Then after that it would be easy. Learning Python in one day is possible if there is some programming experience before.

I needed something and I wrote a small script in python. Take a look here: http://github.com/andrei1089/canola-...gps-service.py

Check out the location api documentation: http://wiki.maemo.org/PyMaemo/Using_Location_API

I'm taking lat and long here:
Code:
self.lat, self.long = device.fix[4:6]
According to the documentation the altitude should be device.fix[7] ( return value is in meters)
