[maemo-developers] N810, GPS and Java

[From: Demetris]

Hi all,

still having some trouble trying to put together an interface to the GPS 
device
on the N810. Overall I need to retrieve the current location (not sure what
kind of data the GPS driver (or the gpsd) returns on the N810) that 
eventually
I can feed into Google Maps API (or something equivalent) to show me
my current location on a map.

If anyone has ventured along these paths and has some suggestions I 
would greatly
appreciate it. If existing apps are out there that can already performed 
these
operations it would even be better so that I don't re-invent the wheel.

Thanks and regards
