If you do not have a Linux API / library then this is likely to require some legwork from you. If the gpsd or gpsbabel work with your Garmin (I don't know anything about these) then someone has already done the legwork for you. Googling up gpsbabel shows that it is Free and GPL so you can get the source code. If your app is GPL you can just use their code directly. If licensing is an issue you can have a look at the their code and re-create the same functionality based on the knowledge you find from there. Or, as you suggested, use the command line interface, which would seem to be a good choice. If gpsbabel would not be available or does not support your device you could create a C-program in Windows to get the date you need and eavesdrop the communication in Windows to reverse engineer the protocol and then apply that knowledge to Linux. just my 2 snt worth. cheers Kusti ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
