gps coordinates   
Hi all,
I'm trying to undestand how to develop an application web based for Audi MMI 3G system.
Audi MMi 3G unit is based on qnx 6.4 and I'd like to find a way to get gps coordinates to use in an application.
Is there any api I can call to get current gps coordinates?

RE: gps coordinates   
You would need to contact Audi or whoever made the system for them.

Re: RE: gps coordinates   
Are you telling me that they are not using an api of qnx to get them?
I supposed that there was an api to get this information.

RE: RE: gps coordinates   
QNX doesn`t provide an API for GPS and GPS are very simple device connected to serial port. Blackberry OS probably has 
one because it needs to be shared/managed across applications, don`t confuse the two OSes ;-)

That being said even if there was, Audi might have decided not to use it.  Car systems are NOT opened , they are totally
 proprietary, any expectations you have could turn out to be wrong.

Re: RE: RE: gps coordinates   
Ok.
It is clear.
Anyway can  I install in sdcard a daemon (for example gpsd) to read gps coordinates?
When I insert an sdcard I'm able to read it using:
#!/bin/ksh
sdcard=`ls /mnt|grep sdcard.*t`
SDPath=/mnt/$sdcard
mount -u $SDPath

How to execute a daemon gpsd and query it?
Thanks

Re: RE: RE: gps coordinates   
I think I can solve my problem if I could execute command tool gpspipe from sdcard.
How can I do it?
Thanks

RE: RE: RE: gps coordinates   
You could but that will most probably interfere with what ever software is using the gps.

Re: RE: RE: RE: gps coordinates   
I could try to listen to socket opened by gpsd or similar in the MMI.
Using qnx how can I find opened sockets and runnings processes?
Can I run these commands?

ps auxww > $SDPath/f1.txt || true

ps -elfww > $SDPath/f2.txt || true

netstat -an > $SDPath/f3.txt || true

Return
