Hello Andrea, You can use gpsfake on your host machine (comes with gpsd). I noticed that it works with scratchbox, I don't know how, but it does. I was about to try to run it inside scratchbox, but there is no need. Sorry for top posting, using the ITOS default e-mail client. -- Julius ----- Alkuperäinen viesti ----- Lähettäjä: Andrea Grandi <a.grandi at gmail.com> Vastaanottaja: maemo-developers at maemo.org Lähetetty: To 07 Helmi 2008 16:42:33 Aihe: How can I test a GPS application without using the device? Hello, I'd like to write a Python application that interface itself to GPS (using gpsd). I'd like to be able to develop it on my PC as well, without using the real hardware. Not because I don't want to use my N810, but because I should use it outside to test it! I've discovered this application: http://gpsfeed.sourceforge.net/ "gpsfeed+ is a utility that feeds the PC with continuous GPS data as if a GPS were moving in a car or airplane. NMEA 0183 GPS sentences are sent to the application through a socket (TCP/IP) connection or a UDP multicast message.!" but I still cannot understand if it works also with gpsd. I'd like to test it on my Ubuntu machine, but while Maemo uses this library for python-gps: http://pymaemo.garage.maemo.org/documentation/python_gps_examples/index.html Linux seems to have a totally different library. I did "apt-get install python-gps" the unique python gps library available in repository and it comes without any documentation. So I've to develop in Scratchbox at least.... but I would need a GPS "simulator", a very simple one... so I could test a GPS application even in Scratchbox environment, without using a real GPS device. Any idea? What are, all those people that wrote a gps-application, using to test it? In particular maemo-mapper, gps-camera ecc.....
