You really don't know how GPS works, do you? Start reading these[^].I consumer electronics, the GPS signal is not as exact as the military version. It's an approximation that is affected by the number of satellites the receiver can "see", effects of atmospheric distortion and interference...

You need to take into account the problems liked with GPS.First is accuracy or lack of. Any difference between real location and GPS location have impact on apparent speed.Ideally, you must read position and time of calculation from GPS in order to get best data.Otherwise, you are...

You need an app on the phone that sends location data through a web service to your database. This app would let you upload pics as well.A web service is your way to get your phone app able to pass data through the web to your DB.

1) It is only possible for your own applications2) Your app needs to send it's "location" to a global server.3) You query the global server for users locations.4) You show the list of locations on a map.What have you done so far?

First of all, a com port have more settings that matters ! Char size (7 or 8 bits) and parity.Advice: use a terminal emulator like HyperTerminal and play with settings until you find the right combination of parameters.

Once you are sure the serial settings are correct, you could try to decode the message which (as far as I can understand from product presentation) is either 'NMEA 0183 format (industry standard)' or 'proprietary Garmin format'.Since the message you received doesn't look a valid NMEA one, you...
