[Geowanking] WBT-200 in Mac, Linux

[Matt Croydon]

I haven't done anything spectacular with a GPS and Python for S60 but  
a few others have.

Nick Burch has written several GPS apps in Python.  The most polished  
is nmea_info (http://gagravarr.livejournal.com/104793.html) and  
contains some nice routines for wrangling NMEA data.

Christopher Schmidt has also done a lot with Python for S60 and  
locative technology (http://crschmidt.net/symbian/).  His  
stumblestore app (http://gsmloc.org/code/stumblestore.py) feeds data  
to his GSM location site (http://gsmloc.org/).

There are also a lot of PyS60 code snippets (http://bigbold.com/ 
snippets/tag/pys60) and a collection of links and info on my wiki  
(http://www.postneo.com/postwiki/moin.cgi/PythonForSeries60) to get  
you started with PyS60.

Cheers,

--Matt
