In further efforts to leverage the GPS data from my phone, I wrote a quick module today that works as an alternate method of receiving, storing and displaying the data from Luis Espinosa's excellent TrackMe software for Windows Mobile GPS enabled phones. It basically takes the gps information broadcast by TrackMe (latitude, longitude, altitude, angle, speed, tripname) and stores it via a programmatically generated, Location enabled content type leveraging the CCK API to add additional fields to store the altitude, angle, speed & tripname. For display, it sets up a few default GMap views (the current location block at the top of this page, as well as the view of all tracked points available by clicking on the historical view link). In addition it works in tandem with the Fire Eagle module to allow for storing the location data on your Fire Eagle account as well. It was a lot of fun to play with the latest versions of Location & GMap, as well as the CCK & Views2 APIs. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this data, but maybe someday I'll figure something out =)
I'm happy to make the module available for anyone else that's interested, but it's soo specific (you would need a windows mobile 5/6 phone, TrackMe, and a Drupal site for it to be of any use) that I'm going to wait until someone expresses interest. If you want more info, comment on this thread or use the contact form.
