Isn't gypsy [1] used on some builds? Perhaps build a logger to use either gpsd or gypsy. Gypsy, Python examples are available [2]. Regarding the resulting logs : Would be nice for choose what format; text, xml, yaml, sqlite Start with plain text, with the expectation that someone will want another format. What columns for store, time,long,lat. timezone, time format. ~ Matt [1] http://folks.o-hand.com/iain/gypsy/ [2] http://svn.o-hand.com/repos/gypsy/trunk/gypsy/examples/ _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
