Am working on a little gps project. I just purchased a gps tracker TK-102.I read through the manual and the setup for the tracker. I would like to get the coordinates(longitude and latitude) of the tracker and show the position on google maps.Am very new in geocoding , read articles about it and it seems quite interesting. The tracker doesnt come with a usb cord so i cant connect it to my pc.I need ideas how i could go about this.I would also appreciate sample codes if there are any to help me with this project.Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Maybe your GPS needs to connect via BT? mine does!!

I have just finished a GPS reader program which saves all the values to a txt file for a project I am working on.

Also working and processing the datastream from the GPS device, I found a lot of help in This link

for what its worth, I am now looking to upload the source and compiled program for the gps reader - write to file. not sure where the best site is for this.

My main GPS development needs standing still and moving coordinates, but for ease of it i keep streaming onto the program from file until the rest is ready, then bring it back to read from device itself...

Hope the link helps,

BBB

PS I've just got the GPS reader program uploaded to sourceforge.net, if you want it including the source, its in This link
