thanks for all the valuable summary info
> 6.GPS (location-adaptation-rx-51, liblocation-headers) > GPS is handled through the cellular modem over ISI (same as calls, SMS etc) > There is a header file out there (in a Nokia QT SDK among other places) > called pn_location_isi.h that contains details of the ISI/phonet packets > and data necessary to talk to the GPS chip. > As far as I know, no-one has yet started working on an open GPS setup for > the N900. The way to replace this bit then would be for someone to take > pn_location_isi.h and from there write a new GPS system (or a plugin for an > existing GPS system) > > can you point a newbie toward a more thorough description of this task, or how to gather required info (or, later, the required expertise)? i did look over pn_location_isi.h, but not sure how to proceed. i'm not sure if or how far meego got in this direction? http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo_Porting_Guide#Location_Adaptation https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11796 or what could be used from meego? (haven't been able to look into this directly on n900 nemo for awhile due to (unrelated) bug 92, but maybe that will change soon.) looked over some maemo library info / nice user api / even dbus stuff, http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/5.0-final/liblocation/ http://wiki.maemo.org/PyMaemo/Using_Location_API Nokia-N900-51-1:~# dbus-monitor --system --monitor "interface=org.freedesktop.Gypsy.Position" but also not sure how to translate some/all of that semi-open(?) infrastructure to your suggested task. thanks in advance for any info.
