Though Iconia has gps inside, but I don't think it can receive the satellites faster than the usb gps. I've got one for my laptop and works fine. But the notebook is too heavy, so can someone to let the pad support the usb gps?

use BlueGPS4Droid if you dont like the internal gps function.
that has been used for ages on tablets without gps.

i dont think any android software support it, at least something i seen..
earthmate-lt40
I would love to use my earthmate USB GPS as well.its super fast lock with precision accuracy on my notebook.in the thread mentioned by Dexter there is possible solution if you know some programing.but no talk there about the earthmate one.there are alot of people interested in a module for this a Dec could make some moneyi do think hint hint

important is: can you find regular linux support for it? then we can probably use it here too. otherwise not, so if you search and find references to it..
post it, and i can look at your links for linux support if such exists..

not sure if this will help bilut I think its what you are asking for
Have you tried the fix in this thread here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103585&highlight=gps+fix
yes that works withbthe internal gps.
Yes I have done that and it does help with the internal GPS.but I would like to get my GPS USB reciever to work.it locks quick and can be put on top my van.
Does anybody run the code:
Code:
su root
stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 ispeed 4800 && cat < /dev/ttyUSB0
I ran it and it works like gps status in windows. GPS can get the data but how to let the system to know these data.
I drive with my tablet and gps all the time and it works great!
I mean how fast do you need it to be?

Can do a
Code:
hexdump -c /dev/ttyUSB0
and show us what kind of data you have
I suppose standard NMEA sentences (GGA / RMC / ...). In that case we can perhaps do something...
If you could also do a
Code:
stty -a -F /dev/ttyUSB0
it would also give us more informations

I am sorry that I thought my thread had been abandoned. So I didn't see your reply. Now I use galaxy 1.05 and I try to run the code you give to me. However this rom can not recogize my gps, the acer original rom (HB3.0 can). So I can not test the code. Or I should PM M-dj to add the support for the PL2303(usb to serial) and this can let the pad to find my gps.
Here is a quick and dirty adapted version of BlueGPS4droid in order to read NMEA data from a file/device.
Instead of giving the name of a bluetooth device you have to give the path of a file.
Don't know if it will work: since I don't have any usb Gps, I cannot test.
However it's working with plain files, so I hope it will also work with /dev/ttyUSB0.
You should be able to see on the logcat if it recognizes NMEA sentences or not.
If you can post a copy of the logcat it could be useful for me.
If it's working, I will put the code in a new repository (forked from BlueGps4Droid), clean the code, re-inject other languages and advanced functionalities we have inblueGPS4droid, etc.
How to use it :
0) plug the GPS usb device
1) allow GPS use, if possible (don't know if you can)
2) enable mock locations in "Settings/Applications/Development/Allow mock locations" (It's important !)
3) start UsbGps
4) choose a NMEA device (device path: ako /dev/ttyUSB0 - it has to be readable ! )
5) eventually activate "auto-enable location provider" in "location provider options" (useful if you cannot enable "Use GPS satellites" option (in step 1)
6) start the service using the start checkbox
7) look if something happens in the logcat...
Do you have an android phone? ShareGPS from the market will turn your phone into a Bluetooth GPS device, then use the aformentioned BlueGPS4Droid to connect to the phone for its GPS. Also ensure you have enabled Mock Locations on your tablet, and set up a internet share from your phone if the tablet doesn't have it itself.
I used this on a trip recently and it works great. My Inc2 shared its GPS and Internet link with the Iconia. I really like the ability to use the Inc2's superior GPS through the tablet with its 10 inch screen. We all know the Iconia has a lower than Subpar GPS implementation.
I looked around for a way to use the LT40 from Delorme on the Iconia and couldn't find anything good.

According your steps, gps running, but it seemed not get the data. No gps searching notification icon flashed and in the log data I don't see any thing. The information in my pm is not correct. I use the wrong device folder. But changed back to \dev\ttyUSB0, I can connect but no data.

I don't have any usb GPS, so I cannot test anything myself! If you want something I will need a little more informations.
So here are some little things you can do to provide more details.
First you can verify if you receive something from your usb GPS:
Connect your android device to you computer and open a command shell on your android device using
Code:
adb shell
Then you can use
Code:
hexdump -c /dev/ttyUSB0
to display what the gps is sending (replace /dev/ttyUSB0 with your usb gps dev). You should see standard nmea sentences...
If you don't see valid nmea sentences you can use
Code:
stty -a -F /dev/ttyUSB0
to obtain more informations on your dev.
You can also verify read/write access rights of the device
Code:
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0
We need at least read access. If we don't then you will need to root the android device in order to be able to change the access rights on the dev.
If the hexdump command works well then you can run usbGps and use the
Code:
logcat
command to obtain more informations on what happens in the the usbGps app (it would help me a lot!).
Also if usbGps doesn't work it should display a notification (not very useful but it can help a little).
Herbert
PS: the name of the device should really be something like /dev/ttyUSB0 with "/" not "\", so if you try to use "\dev\ttyUSB0" as your device name il will not work and it's normal.

I'm programming on a program that uses cell broadcast messages to determine your position. (http://gknavigation.de) - It was a project at "youth research" this year.
It is based on an idea of W.Back...
Now I want to get rid of a external gsm phone at the position determination, because the new Pocket PC Phone Edition have a integrated radio functionality.
I've written a small terminal-prog. for the XDA (http://gknavigation.de/beta.htm), which let's you sent modem-command into the gsm and recieve replies.
On the XDA2 it is working well until the line "AT command interpreter ready" is displayed on the terminal. After that common AT-commands like "AT+CBC" won't work any longer, and result with an "ERROR".
The line (and the errors as result) seems to apear after a few seconds the port is open.
I think I have opened the port and initialized the shared use of the gsm serial communication well. :?
Check out that Sourcecode please:
The .DLL-file-project, which is written in C++ and opens/closes the port:

Summary
Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that I will have alook and see what I can do
for you.
Have you got a break down of what you are trying to achieve
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A summ ups are written in German, sorry!
But i will try to describe it briefly:
My prog recieves the messages of the cell broadcast channel 221 by a mobile
phone connected via any inteface. (Bluetooth, IrDA, RS-232)
In Germany this channel contents data about the position and sending
direction of the mobile (fix installed) stations. With some (or many) tricks
i'm able to determinate your own own position up to a 50 meters. (in best
case - depending on the number of installed stations)
This is drawn on a map.
The prog is running under PPC and PC, but the PC version is less
interesting, because the PPC is more portable.
Newerdays, the PPCs have a integrated GSM radio module, so that it should be
possible to recieve those CB-messages vie the internal modem.
By that the users of XDA/MDA/... in Germany would get an alternative to GPS
for navigation/orientation without buying new hardware!
Lateron this prog is perhaps compatible with Tomtom. - I'm checking how to
do it!
Greeting, and thanks in advance!
Florian
hey xda internal access
Hey man i must say i respect you , you have done great work !!!
I am currently working on xda2 as university project and i need to access internal modem of xda ... so might need ur help ... i would wanna help u too and i probly will ... just letting u know i'll try a bit on ur prob and get back to ya ...
any advice ou can give me to access the internal modem ??
great job ! talk soon
On the XDA2 it is working well until the line "AT command interpreter ready" is displayed on the terminal. After that common AT-commands like "AT+CBC" won't work any longer, and result with an "ERROR". Crying or Very sad
The line (and the errors as result) seems to apear after a few seconds the port is open.
I think I have opened the port and initialized the shared use of the gsm serial communication well. Confused
Check out that Sourcecode please:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
after read your source, i think:
- set Sleep time between each other AT commands > 100ms for response time of GSM modem
- try to close the com port and re-open it before sending another AT-command.
- try to use only RIL port or COM2, don't open them and use them at the same time.
hey i read through the code its good but i dont see how u get "AT Interpreter Ready" in the VB app ... i looked hard !!! can anyone enlighten me ??
I guess "AT Interpreter Ready" is the answer from device.
AT Interpreter Ready is sent by device after radio resets itself. You should never see this reply.
ok - when i get "AT interpreter Ready" from my terminal it allows me to send an AT commands, so in a way i'm guessing that i should get it -
Indeed it happens when the GSM resets does anyone have more explanations on how it appears ???
i get "AT interpreter Ready", too.
Compile
Could someone compile the DLL and EXE and post them here in one zip? Would save me having to install Visual Studio !
can anyone point me in the direction of some info on how to access the current Sat Nav coordinates from a (bluetooth) GPS device, please!
i'm guessing ( / hoping) that its not device-specific - and I don't want to do anything too clever. just need to query the device for the current location.
any suggestions, hints, pointers etc. would be gratefully received!
Most if not all BT GPS devices transmit data via NMEA0183 commands over a virtual serial port (SPP profile). There's lots of code out there for handling NMEA commands (it's a simple ASCII text format).
take a look at this link
http://www.opennetcf.org/library/OpenNETCF.IO.Serial.GPS.html
OPENNETCF is an open source framework .NET for smartdevice
you could manage GPS device with the OpenNETCF.IO.Serial.GPS class
you just have to open the port com with this class
Does it exist some GPS SDK for eVC++, not .NET???
This might not be exactly what your looking for but it may help -

Hello,
I develop a module GPS under pocket pc to display sentences NMEA.
The objective is to validate my module for the devices HTC
or it can have bug...
This soft is very simple.
Select COM GPS and RATE GPS your device and press TEST.
the soft open port COM serial and read data.
if the sentences NMEA display it's OK !
else i would like to understand why...
If you want to do a test on your device, thanks please tell me the result
(device, port com, rate , and test ok or not) !
link cab file :
http://rapidshare.com/files/89376324/GPS.CAB.html
??? can anyone ?
Downloading now. Give me a few minutes.
Doesn't seem to work on my XV6800.
I installed to main memory.
I tried with Google Maps on and locked to 6 satellites and with it off. I was set to Com 4 and a baud of 4800. No NMEA shown and lock = no. Left on until the device turned itself off.
My devices GPS need a prime for other software to work (TomTom, etc) but works great with Google Maps.
Another little thing you might think to fix. The text in the selection boxes is huge. Need to move down a few font sizes.
Let me know if I can do anything else.
thanks blazingwolf !
My soft test is ok for HTC touch cruise (Polaris)
But the problem is also P3300 Artemis...
I believe that we must activate some things for Qualcomm chip GPS..
( I do not documentation and web site Qualcomm Link is not valid ->
http://www.cdmatech.com/download_library/pdf/gpsone.pdf )
GPS is as silent under my soft ->
- Sent a command on the link serial GPS to activate the chip ???
or specific sentence NMEA for activate sends sentences NMEA from GPS ???
- or the chip GPS uses a protocol other than NMEA ???
I am looking...

Hi, i have a HTC Artemis
(T-Mobile MDACIII) i can test the software on mine if u like, but i can only download the cab from these forums, so if u could upload it to here, i'll give it a go
Max Filesize attach for ZIP 8Mo
I can not attach my ZIP FILE has this post sorry
its more than 8mb!!!
yes lol
I do not use the framework microsoft.
fair enough. i'll try and download it this evening, see if it works on my Artemis.
Route Tracker
With Route Tracker you can create routes and add several route points containing text and/or images from your current position. If gps is available it will take the current longitude, latitude and altitude. Without a gps module information of the current cell id and the location area code are saved.
For each route a report can be created which can be saved as a html file.
prerequisites:
PocketPC with .net compact framework 2.0 and SQL Compact Server 2005 (already installed in WM6 professional)
(tested on a WM6 professional device without gps)
known issues:
after uninstall the db and the images will not be deleted
getting MyLocation can time out
timer greater than ~15 seconds doesn't word when device is in suspend mode
in the view form only the map type for default route maps is working
next features:
automatic point adding by distance (every x meters)
more robust MyLocation
geo game (show taken image and try to find the place on the map)
Any comments are appreciated.
version 1.0.5
new view showing the whole route in one image using Google Maps (markers or path)
this view can be saved to an image file
check its settings form for parameters
version 1.0.4
new setting: Use Google's MyLocation for report GMaps and for exporting to kml. On devices without gps the cell id information will be used to get an approximate location. (default on and will use internet connection!)
version 1.0.3
new report "GMaps" using google maps (will try to use internet connection!)
updated date set to last saved route point
additional setting: Flash on Saving (flash on main screen)
version 1.0.2
additional settings: check gps, vibrate on saving
saving settings: seconds, minutes and vibrate on saving
show time with date in the grid
version 1.0.1
A report can be saved to kml for viewing in google maps.
In Menu/Auto Report... timed saving can be activated.
Thanks,
heliosdev
Anybody tried?
Would be interesting to know if the gps information gets stored and if there are any issues on devices with qwerty hardware keyboard (regarding screen rotation).
Thanks!
New version is up. If you have difficulties with the gps data, try to start gps with another app and after having enough sat fixes try Route Tracker.
Nice now this app work, but here some ideas:
A Sign that shows a record was made
Start Time on the main screen
Show Cell ID or GPS is used
Other Ideas will follow
Thanks for the input! New version is up.
very cool! i will be certainly using it.

Great but here some Ideas:
Show the last position time in the grid (Last position time saved at
Vibrate is good, but better would it if you make a flashing dot on the main screen because if you use it in a carholder its not so go.
(Or you can add vibrate too under settings)
And Upload direct the cab file, its easier to use!
Thx and work on!
didn't work on my vogue - got a net framework error.

I'm using the ppckitchen to cook a custom rom and have included both sql, 3.5 supposed to be included and I also select .netcf 2. Maybe that's a problem, but I've not ever gotten that message with any of the other programs I use that require .netcf. When I run /Windows/cgacutil.exe it says 2.0.7045.0
Will this work with .NET 3.5 or only 2.0?
I get this error using the ROM in my sig and SQLce 3.5 added.

Make a Today Plugin that shows CELL ID, LAC, MCC, MNC or GPS and a count down. It shows new recorde made in xx.xx.xx (ex. 00:00:10 = 10 sek.)
Well, I'm using C# .net and I'm not sure if this can be used for today plugin development.
Btw, new version is up!
new version is up!
Tests with devices without gps are appreciated! (internet connection needed)
(report GMaps and save report (in Report form) to kml and view it with google maps/earth on desktop)
Nice,
works fine!
But can you set a dot on mylocation?
Like here http://cellid.schlapa.net
Also show the cellID data on the Gmaps Screen.
Thx wait for next versions ...
Dtrieb
Hi thanks for this app!!!!
Is it possible to get bigger screen shots ?
Thanks dude
Hi All,
Is there a tool which can get Cell id and LAC from command line for it to be used by other apps
Say I have script (mortscript)
Then I can call <Cellid APP> and get Cellid location where the device is
Then take action based on the Cell id.
Idea is to track the phone and let the owner know where all the phone on a web page.
I go from HOME -> LOC1 -> LOC2 ->Office (everyday)
Incase phone shows a path HOME -> LOC1 -> LOCX -> <UNKNOWN> .. the send a TEXT(SMS)/update page etc ... to alert the users.
Kind of way to make your phone secure.
Any suggestion if it can be done with any exiting tools and mortscript etc ...
http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/tools.html
has something called riltest ...
riltest - dumps all kinds of info from the phone via ril
But the zip files does not have this file... Could any one let me know if this file is available any where else.
Ok Got a riltest from Another forum which does similar ... ALMOST....
what it can do is dump all to a LOG file ... I am using a Mortscript
1. Run the app
2. make app to dump logs
3. get the details from the file.
4. close the app.
Now loop this for with a sleep ...
But still looking for better way.. Attached is the file for anyone who is looking for similar stuff.
Hi,
I too was looking for something in this line and ended up writing it myself.
Props to this chap for the code to get me started:
http://dalelane.co.uk/blog/?p=241
Basically you call 'RilCmdLine.exe' with a parameter indicating what field you want. It returns the field as an int to MortScript (I think you need MortScript 4.3b1 or above?).
Supports LAC, Country Code and Cell Tower ID.
The zip includes a test mortscript - you may just need to edit the path to RilCmdLine.exe
(Source code on request. I may even support it )
Hope this helps!
onion
Hi
Thanks for the exe file. However I am unable to see any result when I run the exe/mscr on my mobile (HTC 3300 WM6). I did edit the path also executed from cmd line on mobile.
Also Mortscript RunWait and Run will not return any results as per the Mortscript doc. So the result has to be redirected to a file.
Could you please check and let me know if the exe is required to be executed with different parameters.
Thanks
What version of Mortscript are you running?
I had to upgrade to 4.3b2 to get the return code from the exe.
Get it here
http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&action=view&entry=125
In the notes for b1 mentioned the return code functionality being added.
Hope this sorts it for you
Perfect !! Thats works perfectly ... I updated to MortScript you have suggested.
Excellent Work !! ... Really good. Thanks man
Will it be possible that if I don't pass any Command line parameter ... Can I get all the values... Like CELL ID, LAC etc ..
Glad you like it
Unfortunately you can get all the values at once (at the minute you can only return numbers from the exe, so there is no way to separate them).
My original idea is something along what you suggest - if I get that working I will post a new exe up here.
Thanks
Thanks onionfx! This is just what I was looking for as well. Trying to do something similar to what wishme said. ;-) The common profile switchers out there are not very useful to me because I'm more of in a rural area, and cell towers are farther apart, so my home and work cellid overlap sometimes, so I want to also take into account signal strength to see if I can fine tune it better. Will probably use Mortscript since it's the only thing I've learnt to code with for Windows Mobile.
I'm bookmarking this page to see if you eventually get the prog to output all in one line (and reduce the CPU churn of calling the same prog several times).
BTW, how about also returning nearby cells in order of signal strength? That would be awesome to fine-tune your location even more!
Good work!
Cesar
Doing some thinking about this
I can't see any way of returning all the values at once.
The C code can only return an int in the range -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 and my CellID and LAC are 5 digits each so if they ever started with a digit greater than 2 I couldn't return it.
The 2 best options I think are writing another exe that dumps the data either to a file, or to the registry in a similar way as riltest above, but without the UI part.
Then write a script that could be included, and which has nice subs to access each parameter (or you are free to write your own script calls to do this).
I'm tending to the file as I imagine reading from the registry is a bit slower than reading the file (in one go and storing all the params as variables)?
Also I can do less damage if I use a dedicated file!
Anybody got any better ideas, or has a good reason to use the registry?
Goodnight
Are we talking about GSM signal strength
REGISTRY entry: HKLM\System\State\Phone\Signal Strength (DWORD value)

Also is it possible to get all other the cellids at any point not the one phone is connected to ? I have not see any app providing this info.
Except for Google maps on mobile (without GPS) it uses triangulation technique to get the Latitude and longitude of a location with all cell id locations available. for this method to work we requires atleast 3 cell id.
Does RILCELLTOWERINFO gives details about other towers also ?
I wonder what the requirements are for the command line tool?
It locks up when I run it on my MotoQ smartphone.

The zip includes a test mortscript - you may just need to edit the path to RilCmdLine.exe
(Source code on request. I may even support it )

I can't get this to work. I get "-1" for all 3 values. Anyone offer any reasoning as to why this may be? I believe my ROM includes .Net framwork, but I'm not sure how to check.
Thanks

Basically you call 'RilCmdLine.exe' with a parameter indicating what field you want. It returns the field as an int to MortScript (I think you need MortScript 4.3b1 or above?).

Thanks onionfx for your contribution. I might need it for a use similar to the one described by wishme.
