Any suggestions on where to get started on reading GPS coordinates?
Would these be read through the serial interface? I have a Motorola
Q9C Smartphone.

Yes, do a search through the history of this list for ceserial to get
the python wrapper around the com ports.
I'm actually working on a GPS tool based on this. I have a sample
tool that logs anything over com port and specifically is aimed at
parsing NMEA with a tcl/tk interface right now.
Ideally I just need to contact the ceserial author since the license
is unclear and see about where we should post this stuff. Maybe a new
sourceforge project?
Let me know if you need some examples,
Alex
Examples would be excellent!
Justin
I don't have my full svn of my project moved to a public website yet
(actually only have the last checkout right now) but I can show you the
example I used to figure out how to deal with the gps. This should get
you started.

More to come later I'm sure,

Thanks! I've been fooling around with that code, and am getting an
exception in this function in ceserial.py:
def getCommTimeouts(self):
"""Get the comm timeouts."""
timeouts = COMMTIMEOUTS()
if not(windll.coredll.GetCommTimeouts(self.__handle,byref(timeouts))):
raise SerialException, windll.coredll.GetLastError()
return timeouts
windll.coredll.GetLastError() print's "0", which isn't of much help! I'm
not too familiar with the win32api. What is the proper way to print
error messages?
I googled it, and found one other person who ran into the same problem,
but did not resolve it.
I've looked through the MSDN docs, and the ceserial source, but I'm
stuck. Any ideas?
Thanks again,
Justin
