There are many formats for submitting GPS data around. On this page only some are supported. I include support for a format, if a user requests it at the mailinglist or i feel, i should support the format. Garbage in -> Garbage out If you send malformed or incomplete formats, you get incomplete or unexpected results. The parser tries to find more than one format in a message, this means, you can send more than one position in different formats in a message. Example Even if your format is not exactly the same as in the examples below, send your position to the server inside a SMS, the parser will try hard to find your position. You can place for example the GPS data inside other text: Hello friend, this is my position: GPGGA,050353.000,5215.0450,N,01214.3691,E,1,11,0.9,70.2,M,46.0,M,,0000*6B Check it out !
