How can you utilize the GPS system for personal use? For example, if I wanted to build my own GPS device, how can I utilize the GPS software/satellites?

    We don’t know much about you, do we? So, how are we suppose to help you with this rather broad question? If you don’t know what YOU need, how are we supposed to know? TV guy

    You would obtain a GPS receiver module. It has a serial port which provides NMEA strings, proividing current lat/long/elevation/time/satellite locations, and other goodies. If you are mass producing GPS systems, you likely can use the receiver chipsets directly.

    It is up to you to to provide the hardware and software to make use of that data how you need to.. classicsat
