GPS on a Java enabled phone

  • GPS device is a Holux  GPSLIM240: Bluetooth based return NEMA 0183
  • Phone is a Motorola Ming 1200 having Bluetooth etc.
  • A J2ME phone having MIDP 2.0 and CLDC 1.1  or above is needed. CLDC 1.1. supports floating point.
  • Used SUN's java development environment on Ubuntu Linux 9.04
  • Debugging on a phone is pretty problematic. I did not enable bluetooth via the emulator.
  • Used a Bluetooth app provided by Bruce Hopkins for device discovery, etc.
  • The App shows speed, the direction of travel, odometer, date and time.
