Question

I have an iPhone application that emails my GPS coordinates to an email account.

I have some code (here) that I’m using to search that account for emails that contain the GPS coordinates.

I wanted a Windows Forms application that would allow me to store the date, time, latitude, longitude and res information of the emails into some sort of rudimentary database that would just be either part of the program or just a file that accompanied the program.

I could probably use a CSV file but I wanted to do things the right way so I’ll put it before the court of better programmers.

What is the best way to store this data to be queried against later?

Some ideas are to make a heat map of how often a certain location is occupied. Another idea is to create a path of “bread crumbs” that I can use later.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

Answer 1

If you don’t want a full fledged database server, I’d recommend using SQLite.
