i want to make an application for tablet PC / notebook i want to make software to acquire a location(longitude and latitude)for PC.
is that possible for me to develop GPS for PC with java programming language???
if yes, what software i need to download to develop that application????
Yes, it’s possible.
First of all, you’ll need a GPS receiver (either built into the computer, or connected to it).
Typically, GPS units use a simple text protocol to talk to the host over the serial port. There are plenty of libraries out there that can help you if you don’t want to parse the protocol yourself; just google “gps java”.
Lastly, bear in mind that typically GPS units don’t work indoors since they require an unobstructed view of the sky.
