Really this is only in laptops,computers...
This is most interesting. IF this software for all the mobiles iphone,black berry,devices with windows.....
Do you know other software in basic4android can do this.
Because only know with html5 but is very heavy because with interface web this is more low.I prefere interface Application and interface web
Looking at google, I can't find any laptops that have GPS built in, there are add on GPS's via USB, which would presumably have API's built by the vendors. These would need to be wrapped for use with B4j. It is unlikely that, if available, they would share a common API.
The new generations of windows 8 tablets have built in gps:
- toshiba Encore 8
- the second generation of dell venue 8 pro
I have ordered a dell venue 8 pro to develope b4a and b4j on a tablet...I think, that the gps-lib is very useful for the new generations of windows 8.1 tablets...

Actually most of these use either an FTDI or a Prolific serial to USB chip, as the GPS chips themselves tend to have serial outputs, so these add-on GPS look like a COM port outputting standard NMEA sentences. Similarly the Bluetooth connected GPS units also look like COM ports outputting NMEA.
Major PC mapping software programs, like Anquet, Memory Map and Autouroute, assume that any GPS will be connected by COM port and output standard NMEA. No special drivers or libraries are needed.
