How to implement GPS service in laptop?

[Md. Masudur Rahman]

Hello member,
Do some research about how GPS service can be enabled in laptop. Looks
like some people have already done some work in this field. I dag in
the web and got the following links. Check it out in your free time:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/mobility/expert/ballew_03may27.mspx

http://techie-buzz.com/softwares/free-gps-usin-geosense-for-windows.html
http://www.gizmoactive.com/laptop-gps-software.html

Our main focus is different. When GPS will be enabled, we will develop
some GPS based application for locating other objects like saving
people in danger, house in fire, criminals and so.. on.

Start checking and share your views...spend more time in internet..

Lets wish goodluck

i read about GPS from internet,and gather some information.
GPS consists of three parts:1) the space segment,2) the control
segment,3) and the user segment
US Air Force develops, maintains, and operates the 1 and 2.

third segment is free for use.

for 3 we need a GPS receiver.and our work is related to third
segment.

generally all GPS receiver can calculate latitude and longitude if
three satellites supported it.
using four satellite GPS receiver can calculate additional information
altitude .

after calculate position (latitude, longitude and altitude) , the GPS
unit can calculate other information, such as speed, bearing, track,
trip distance, distance to destination, sunrise and sunset time and
more.

Always try to post some links so that other people can get some chance
of reading the article you read. Anyway, what should be our way to
start some work?
I was planning use some API provided by google. That means google will
provide us the service by their satellite system and we will use their
service for our work. Is that possible? Can you guys look into how
Google Maps really working? I think there should be some helps

Dear members,
well, I did some research on this and probably we are looking for this which is called Geocoding. check it out in your time

its also easy to put google map on a windows form in c# by using web
browser....

Sir, i have read this link. It speaks about Geocoding and reverse
geocoding. In geocoding When i know my location i can use this to get
the latitude and longitude of that location. For example: "http://
maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=khulnauniversity,
+bangladesh&sensor=true"
can be used to get the latitude and longitude of khulna university.

And latitude and longitude can be used to get the name of the location
in reverse geocoding.

I wanted to make this thing worked in my browser what is called
Geolocation
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/geolocation/
Mozilla also tries to support using google service. We need to know
whether google can detect our browser location.
these links contain more info
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#geocoder_countries
http://www.geobase.info/

My idea is somehow our browser need to be located by any service and
then we will set that browser's coodinate in the map.

I studied quite a few in this link:http://code.google.com/apis/gears/
api_geolocation.html#positionoptions
In this link they give the following javascript code...

<script type="text/javascript" src="gears_init.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var geo = google.gears.factory.create('beta.geolocation');

function updatePosition(position) {
alert('Current lat/lon is: ' + position.latitude + ',' +
position.longitude);
}

function handleError(positionError) {
alert('Attempt to get location failed: ' + positionError.message);
}

geo.getCurrentPosition(updatePosition, handleError);
</script>

i also used the attached gears_init,js. But when i run this code
within the body of html they give me the following error messege...

"Attempt to get location failed. Network provider at
http//:www.google.com/loc/json did not provide a good position fix"
