Navigation / $GPBOD Messages | Thread profile

Hello to everybody! I'm new in Python and N95 :-) I would like to write an application for simple navigation to a given waypoint (lat, long). I wanna have bearing and distance to the given waypoint through $GPBOD messages. I've seen a lot of source code to get local position, but no information of how to get $GPBOD messages. I mean is it possible to send commands to the internal GPS ...

hi guetzli99 welcome to the forum nokia python discussion board. i may not be accurate with your question i have worked on a $GGPGA scentences and i have tried too to send init commands to the GPS(internal) but i was not at all successful. You can have a look at these articles: Link1 Link2 Have a look at this hope they help you Enjoy Pythoning Gaba88

Thx for the 2 links. It seems I have to do all the calculations for distance and angle to the destination by code. I found a good page (in german) what explains all necessery things http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodr...weisende_Ku rse If it's possible I don't wanna work with an external GPS as long as the internal works :-) (i had to spend a lot of money for the N95)

hi guetzli99 if you want to calculate the distance between two points then have a look at the haversine formula its really interesting. Hope this helps you Enjoy Pythoning Gaba88
