Is there a software for GPS on Linux

[defcon]

Hey i was just wondering if there was a program or application that you can get to run GPS via bluetooth on the Motorola A1200 for linux? Thanks

Can't find it right off but Scotty1024 has posted success on this in this forum somewhere. Even connection to Goggle maps.

seems like off-topic but is there any map programs for North America (especially Canada)?
Connecting to google maps costs $$..
I don't really need GPS but I think having a map programs on the phone will help alot.

I just need the program cause i'll be getting a GPS unit that works with bluetooth. So can anyone please help?

Search the forum. As whmsicle said scotty report successfully connect the MING via bluetooth to his GPS unit. And if i remember correctly he used a Java software.

GoogleMaps should work but it doesnt have GPS support yet (http://www.google.com/gmm)

mgmaps has bluetooth support for GPS (http://www.mgmaps.com/)

and there is also j2memaps (http://j2memap.landspurg.net/) which uses bluetooth and can use your own maps... dont know how that works though.

I havnt installed any of these as my phone hasnt shown up just yet, however they work fine on most any other cell phone with midp2.0 and even on a pocket pc with java so the ming should be able to run them ok.

mgmaps works with my Globalsat bluethooth GPS receiver and 'Where am I' feature works well. But mgmap doesn't have direction feature and this makes it useless (to me at least).
