How Do I Get A Gps Cordinate Into A Program by dustydee: 11:06pm On Jan 24, 2012 |
I am writing an application which will read the coordinates from a GPS into a .Net program, please how do I do that. The GPC to computer interface is USB but other options available. Please links are welcome too. Thanks. |

Depend on your device type. For example my java enabled phone I can use Java API to get data from the GPS embedded in it. |

dustydee: You have not stated the exact nature of your problem. Is it that you don't know where to start with communicating with a USB device? If so, you can use the generic native Windows USB driver (Winusb.sys). If you are comfortable with C++, then this is a good resource: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff540174(v=vs.85).aspx If C# or VB.NET are your thing, you could try this wrapper lib around Winusb.sys: http://code.google.com/p/winusbnet/ If you want infrared, bluetooth and objectExchange, try a really mature library like 32feet.NET (http://inthehand.com/content/32feet.aspx) |

Thanks. What I want to do is retrieve the coordinates from the GPS(using the program) and then make use of it(i.e the coordinates).It's a location based app that requires the use of the coordinates. |
