A findme replacement that can export the real gps location
For the current version, it can gather the GPS signal from serial cable, and output the same format like the findme does. For the next version it will detect if the gps is connected, if not , then it will gather the location from cell tower information , and look up in Google Map service like original findme does.
As many application is using findme to get the location, so by using the program that we provide here, those program can get the real GPS location, instead of the fake GPS location

What serial port speed was this compiled for? I get a bus error:
# bus error ./serial
Do you have the source code available for download?
PmgR
Dear PmgR,
the serial port that I compile for is 38400
how about if you not connect the device to it , would it still throw bus error ?
and what is the version of the iphone you are using?
the source code will release under GPL after tidy up. please wait for a while.

I am using 1.1.3 firmware. My GPS module is currently set to 9600bps

Dear PmgR.
the bit rate is set to 9600 , please have a try

The 9600bps version works. It looks like it only outputs the coordinates to the command line…. is that all it does for now? I thought it you would actually be able to hit the findme button in the lower right of the Maps.app and that it would show you with a pin where you are.

PmgR ,
i am trying to hook up the GoogleMap.app like Navizon does. So that the location update can directly show in the Google Map without the need to manual press the locate me function.
Hello and Great Work
At this moment I am working for some kind of iPod application which try to communicate with a topographic station for send and receive data.
But I have great difficulties in creating and opening an serial communication port from the application which is runing on iPhone.
So, please if you can help me with some information regarding serial communication from iPod.
Would be great if I cloud receive an email address of one of the developers for much discussion regarding iPod development.
Thank you and lucky development,
