	Firefox GPS by Csaba Veres-2 :: Rate this Message: \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I am trying to use the GPS capabilities supposedly built into the Firefox 6 geo location API.

	Re: Firefox GPS by Csaba Veres-2 :: Rate this Message: \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hi Eric, thanks for your response. I just noticed the original is a draft message that was not supposed to go out. Apologies if second near identical post goes out from me :-( I snipped part of the transcript because I believed there is no communication going on .. but I reproduce the whole section below. I admit I don't understand many of the messages! Also, the Firefox 3.6 API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/using_geolocation Not much, which is why I had hoped people on this list can fill in the details. gpsd: client 127.0.0.1 (0) connect on fd 6 gpsd: checking client(0) gpsd: <= client(0): J=1\x0aw gpsd: => client(0): GPSD,J=1 gpsd: DGPSF1b0100000000000000000000000000000106220206220306220406220506220606220706220806220906220a06220b06220c0622 gpsd: GND 0x29: Navtype = 0x204, Status = 1, mode = 3 gpsd: MID 41 UTC: 1265630764.999000 gpsd: <= GPS (binary) /dev/ttyUSB0: $GPGGA,120604,6023.3077,N,00519.4436,E,1,06,1.20,15.49,M,,,0C\x0d\x0a$GPRMC,120604,A,6023.3077,N,00519.4436,E,0.0000,146.540,080210,,29\x0d\x0a$GPGSA,A,3,32,19,20,17,11,14,,,,,,,0.0,1.2,0.039\x0d\x0a$PGRME,0.56,M,0.70,M,0.00,M1A gpsd: THR 0x09: SegStatMax=168.409, SegStatLat=132, AveTrkTime=0.075, Last MS=0 gpsd: CLK 0x07 gpsd: DGPSF1b0100000000000000000000000000000106220206220306220406220506220606220706220806220906220a06220b06220c0622 gpsd: GND 0x29: Navtype = 0x204, Status = 1, mode = 3 gpsd: MID 41 UTC: 1265630765.999000 gpsd: <= GPS (binary) /dev/ttyUSB0: $GPGGA,120605,6023.3077,N,00519.4436,E,1,06,0.80,15.49,M,,,06\x0d\x0a$GPRMC,120605,A,6023.3077,N,00519.4436,E,0.0000,146.680,080210,,27\x0d\x0a$GPGSA,A,3,32,19,20,17,11,14,,,,,,,0.0,0.8,0.032\x0d\x0a$PGRME,0.55,M,0.70,M,0.00,M19 gpsd: MTD 0x04: 8 satellites gpsd: THR 0x09: SegStatMax=168.409, SegStatLat=132, AveTrkTime=0.075, Last MS=0 gpsd: CLK 0x07 gpsd: DGPSF1b0100000000000000000000000000000106220206220306220406220506220606220706220806220906220a06220b06220c0622 gpsd: GND 0x29: Navtype = 0x204, Status = 1, mode = 3 gpsd: MID 41 UTC: 1265630766.999000 gpsd: <= GPS (binary) /dev/ttyUSB0: $GPGGA,120606,6023.3077,N,00519.4436,E,1,08,1.00,15.49,M,,,02\x0d\x0a$GPRMC,120606,A,6023.3077,N,00519.4436,E,0.0000,112.370,080210,,2F\x0d\x0a$GPGSA,A,3,32,19,20,28,17,11,26,14,,,,,0.0,1.0,0.035\x0d\x0a$PGRME,0.55,M,0.70,M,0.00,M19 gpsd: THR 0x09: SegStatMax=168.409, SegStatLat=132, AveTrkTime=0.075, Last MS=0 gpsd: CLK 0x07 gpsd: DGPSF1b0100000000000000000000000000000106220206220306220406220506220606220706220806220906220a06220b06220c0622 gpsd: GND 0x29: Navtype = 0x204, Status = 1, mode = 3 gpsd: MID 41 UTC: 1265630767.999000 gpsd: <= GPS (binary) /dev/ttyUSB0: $GPGGA,120607,6023.3077,N,00519.4436,E,1,07,1.00,15.49,M,,,0C\x0d\x0a$GPRMC,120607,A,6023.3077,N,00519.4436,E,0.0000,117.670,080210,,2E\x0d\x0a$GPGSA,A,3,32,19,20,28,17,11,14,,,,,,0.0,1.0,0.031\x0d\x0a$PGRME,0.55,M,0.70,M,0.00,M19 gpsd: THR 0x09: SegStatMax=168.409, SegStatLat=132, AveTrkTime=0.075, Last MS=0 gpsd: CLK 0x07 gpsd: DGPSF1b0100000000000000000000000000000106220206220306220406220506220606220706220806220906220a06220b06220c0622 gpsd: GND 0x29: Navtype = 0x204, Status = 1, mode = 3 gpsd: MID 41 UTC: 1265630768.999000 gpsd: <= GPS (binary) /dev/ttyUSB0: $GPGGA,120608,6023.3077,N,00519.4436,E,1,07,2.20,15.49,M,,,02\x0d\x0a$GPRMC,120608,A,6023.3077,N,00519.4436,E,0.0000,135.750,080210,,22\x0d\x0a$GPGSA,A,3,32,19,20,28,17,11,14,,,,,,0.0,2.2,0.030\x0d\x0a$PGRME,0.56,M,0.72,M,0.00,M18 gpsd: MTD 0x04: 7 satellites gpsd: THR 0x09: SegStatMax=168.409, SegStatLat=132, AveTrkTime=0.075, Last MS=0 gpsd: CLK 0x07 gpsd: DGPSF1b0100000000000000000000000000000106220206220306220406220506220606220706220806220906220a06220b06220c0622 gpsd: VIS 0x0d gpsd: GND 0x29: Navtype = 0x204, Status = 1, mode = 3 gpsd: MID 41 UTC: 1265630769.999000 gpsd: <= GPS (binary) /dev/ttyUSB0: $GPGGA,120609,6023.3077,N,00519.4436,E,1,05,2.20,15.49,M,,,01\x0d\x0a$GPRMC,120609,A,6023.3077,N,00519.4436,E,0.0000,127.890,080210,,23\x0d\x0a$GPGSA,A,3,32,19,20,11,14,,,,,,,,0.0,2.2,0.03C\x0d\x0a$PGRME,0.58,M,0.73,M,0.00,M17 gpsd: THR 0x09: SegStatMax=168.409, SegStatLat=132, AveTrkTime=0.075, Last MS=0 gpsd: CLK 0x07 gpsd: DGPSF1b0100000000000000000000000000000106220206220306220406220506220606220706220806220906220a06220b06220c0622 gpsd: checking client(0) gpsd: detaching 127.0.0.1 (sub 0, fd 6) in detach_client thanks, Csaba On 08/02/2010, at 8:33 PM, Eric Raymond wrote: > Csaba Veres <Csaba.Veres@...>: >> I am trying to use the GPS capabilities supposedly built into the Firefox 6 geo location API.

That looks like Mozille is shipping a J\nw command to port 2947. That's not right; they probably wanted to send j=1,w+ As it is, gpsd never processes the "w" and thius never ships fixes where Mozilla can see them. So, their implementation is broken. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/">Eric S.
