Hi, I released a little software to proxy GPS data read from gpsd to a remote server. I use it to store my live track on a Postgres database (running on my home server) via GPRS connection.
The software is hosted here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpsdproxy/ This is the announce: This is the first release of GPSDproxy, a small program which reads GPS data from a running gpsd process (http://gpsd.berlios.de/) and forwards it to a remote server via an UDP connection. GPSDproxy is intended to be run on GPS enabled mobile devices. The main features are: * Very low traffic: can upload the position every 10 seconds, 24h/24h, 7days/week and consume less than 100Mb/month (telco-plan friendly). * Assume an unreliable connection, like GPRS mobile. Uses UDP protocol without TCP/IP retransmission overhead. No akwnoledgment from the server is required. Assumes that some data can be lost (future versions can implement some sort of aknowledge/retransmit). * Firewall friendly: mobile GPRS connections are often placed behind a NAT firewall, gpsdproxy works with just one outgoing UPD port. * Written in C for performance and small footprint. Included in this release there is the source code of a simple server (written in Python), which receives position data from several GPSDproxy clients and store it into a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database. -- Niccolo Rigacci Firenze - Italy _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
