[Asterisk-Users] GPS-enabled cell phone/PDA

[Michael Welter]

I would like to capture the lat/lon coordinates from a GPS-enabled cell 
phone or PDA.  Is this possible?  Must I subscribe to this information 
from the cellphone network provider, or can I capture it without charge?

What devices will broadcast the coordinates?  Is there a device that 
will broadcast its position inband that can be captured by Asterisk? 
Can an SMS message include coordinates?

The subject will willingly carry the device and will be aware that his 
location is being monitored, so privacy rights are not an issue.  The 
subject will make periodic calls to the Asterisk server in order to 
record his movements.

Does anyone have experience in this area?

Thanks,
Mike
