Hi All,
I am new to this forum. I want to find the coordinates of a speeding vehicle by accessing the position of the vehicle through GPS(from a server system).
Can anybody help me with info on how to access GPS port and retreive the data. Pls help as I could not find any useful link...
Thanks...
This is a very device specific question and I don't fancy your chances of a full response. You have not said what your GPS device is, I have never worked with any so can not personally advise, but if you have a device that has a toolkit to allow you to code with it, then the people who make it are the people to ask.
Yaa... I got your query but the thing is I am yet to obtain the source of the GPS data... If suppose it is kind of some server ip(or some webservice that gives the gps data), is there a way to do access that ip???
Let me know if I am sounding too incorrect or obstruct....
Like I have said you have not given any information as to the source of your GPS data, your post says 'port' so I assumed a device attached to your PC. If this is not the case, you need to describe what this GPS port is.
Hi,
You can download DecodeGPS.dll from my homepage (www.hardandsoftware.net). It is free. This will provide Latitude, Longitude, Altitude, Speed, Date, localized Time -- and a few other data fields from a standard NMEA-0183 data stream from a GPS receiver that is connected to a PC. There a some GPS receivers that do not output this standard data stream, so you do have to use one tht does.
