gps

I need to convert GPS coordinates from WGS84 to decimal using Lua. I am sure it's been done before, so I am looking for a hint to a code snippet. corrected question: Code to convert DMS (Degress Minutes Seconds) to DEG ((decimal) Degrees) in Lua? examples: Vienna: dms: 48°12'30" N 16°22'28" E or Zurich: dms: 47°21'7" N 8°30'37" E The difficulty I find is to get the numbers out of these strings. Especially how to handle the signs for degree (°) minutes (') and seconds ("). So that I would have for example a table coord{} per coordinate to deal with. coord {1} [48] coord {2} [12] coord {3} [30]

I want my RTT app to be able to control when/whether we are receiving location updates, no matter from GPS or network. I can easily control GPS status with a GpsStatus.Listener but I cannot find the equivalent for network updates. For example, the event would fire if we enter an area with no network or wifi, or a timeout will occur like in the case covered by GpsStatus.GPS_EVENT_SATELLITE_STATUS Codes snippets here: mGPSReceiver = (LocationManager)this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); mLocationListener = new LocationListener() { private Location mLastLocation; @Override public void

I'm using the new Google LocationClient to retrieve geo locations. And I need to get speed for each point (location). What I'm doing now is: if (mLocationClient == null) { mLocationClient = new LocationClient(this, mLocationCallback, mLocationCallback); mLocationCallback.setLocationClient(mLocationClient); if (!(mLocationClient.isConnected() || mLocationClient.isConnecting())) { mLocationClient.connect(); } } Where mLocationCallback is an instance of public class LocationCallback implements ConnectionCallbacks, OnConnectionFailedListener, LocationListener {} In the function, @Override public

I have this coordinates: lat: 45.815005 lon: 15.978501 and i have mysql table with lat and lon coordinates stored as float what i need is to get all coordinate in 500 meters around me? so basicly my problem is to add X meters to my coordinate location Also: how can i separate coordinate 45.815005 (45 | 81 | 50 | 05 ???) so i can store them in mysql using indexes for quicker search? MySQL supports a spatial extension (quoting) : MySQL supports spatial extensions to enable the generation, storage, and analysis of geographic features. Using those, instead of storing coordinates your own way,

From the following code, I get the current location. Criteria criteria = new Criteria(); criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE); criteria.setAltitudeRequired(false); criteria.setBearingRequired(false); criteria.setCostAllowed(true); criteria.setPowerRequirement(Criteria.POWER_LOW); String provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true); GlobalLocation = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider); locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 2000, 10, locationListener); After getting the location I draw the location overlays on Google map and from location provider I

I added a gps status listener to my location manager in order see when I get the first fix. When I receive the GPS_EVENT_FIRST_FIX I then loop through all the satellites, but why is none of them used in the fix? ( usedInFix() ). My log says 'false' for all satellites? final class GpsStatusListener implements GpsStatus.Listener { public void onGpsStatusChanged(int i) { if (i==GpsStatus.GPS_EVENT_FIRST_FIX) { Log.d(APP, "gpsx.fixed."); for (GpsSatellite sat:locationManager.getGpsStatus(null).getSatellites()) { Log.d(APP, "gpsx.GpsStatus.Sat.fixed: " + sat.usedInFix()); } } } } Log: gpsx.fixed.
