Read GPS coordinates and upload them to a website

Hi all,
I'm looking for a very simple program which will read GPS coordinates from my bluetooth GPS receiver and use a GET or FORM request to upload them to a website, i.e.
www.website.com/gps.php?n=000.000&w=000.000
Does such a program exist? I've had a look around here and on Google and can't find anything.
If not, I would be willing to have a go at making it. In this instance, does anyone have any pointers for reading the data from the Com port?
Thanks
Oliy

Thanks for the link, however all the solutions in there are far more complex than what I want, or limited to me making an account on someone else's server.
Is there just a really simple app to do this? Or could anyone provide source code of getting the GPS coordinates, and I could make the rest of the program from there.
Cheers

Oliy: it's a little more involved then just reading the com port. What kind of experience do you have? You have to do quite a bit of token and string parsing. Have a read of the GPS protocols:

Hi Vijay,
Thanks for the link. String and token parsing is fine. I have plenty of experience in core operations of programming languages, it's when you get into hardware specific things that I have very little experience.
I don't have a whole lot of time to program at the moment, I start my internship on monday and I have work on my own little OmapScaler project building up as well, but I've found a guy on this forum who seems to have the same ideas as me, I've PMd him and will hopefully get a reply soon.

voicedialler from the new HTC's

Can this voicedialler function be ripped from one of the new roms, Tytn, Kaiser etc so we can use a hardware button on the BA to use this most awesome function?

yes and it is already ripped, search for Cyberon Voice Dialer

Can't find anything

Softkeyboard automatically opens

Greetings all
1st off, just wanted to say thanks to everyone here. This is a tremendous resource for all things PPC.
Is there a way to disable the softkeyboard from automatically opening up but leaving the icon there so I can activate it manually?
I did a few searches here regarding this and didn't see anything pertinent so I'll apologize in advance if I missed it.

Bump......
anyone?

I think it is possible to install a fake soft keyboard that does nothing. I have not used one but seen one on the net. Maybe proposed by Phm.
I have found it. Check the last item on this page:
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/PowerToys/

Not a bad band-aid fix but it requires a few more screen taps to pick the correct keyboard when I do need it - but thanks for the reply
I'll keep looking...

Nexus 4 smilie replacement

Hi there,
I'm sorry I didn't find anything useful with the search function.
I'm trying to disable graphical smilies in first place. Second, I'd wish to replace the text-smilies (e.g. "" with ": )" ).
Is there any way I can do this?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Regards, fooness.

Also interested in this. The icons on this new version of gtalk isn't as cute as the last version (on the HTC mytouch4g)!

Oh, by the way - sorry - I'm talking about sms/mms app. Should've said that before.
But maybe the answer will help us both. : )

I guess, weird request but you'd probably have to edit some framework stuff to disable the automatic smiley. Then again if you type : ) in SMS it doesn't convert it to the emoticon.

Yeah probably. I'm very new to this, so I don't know any of the framework files yet. Maybe someone knows more exactly what to do.
But thanks so far! : )

I'm using the stock android keyboard by the way.
Anyone can help?

Hey,
my first idea to this Problem would be old plain manual parsing. So you would have to reverse engineer the structure of the requests the website needs. Then you can submit 6our values and must be able to get the values out of the http Response.
Greetings from Germany
P.S. Not many people look in this forum for help. So maybe you get not much help here. Sorry.
P.P.S. I never worked with Selenium, so I'm unsure if you can use it directly in Android Apps
