GPS App Programming
I am looking to partner with someone who can program for the iPhone 3G.
the app will need to work on a jail broken 2.1 firmware or higher 3G phone.
Simply enough, the app will get the GPS coordinates (or based on cell tower, whichever is available)
The App will be required to output 3 pieces of information in CSV format
1) Serial Number of phone
2) Longitude
3) Latitude
a bash script will call the app and CURL to submit the information to a configured URL.
A determined interval will be configured using a LaunchDaemon to control how frequently the bash script calls GPS app for coordinates/serial #
The last two parts(bash script and LaunchDaemon I can do)
-------------------
That is your part
-------------------
My part is to write the web end.
This will include two parts. A user registration system to add the phones serial # to the records and a logger which accepts the incoming data sent by the phone via CURL.
My end will accept the Serial # and GPS Coordinates of the phone and log them to a database and plot them on a map for the phone owners to track or do as they see fit.
The purpose is to help track down stolen/mis-placed phones.
Unfortunately I am not familiar enough with the iPhone SDK or compiled code to do the first half. However, on the web development end, I am pretty darn good
Similar solutions to this are findme by Erica Sadun, but she does not have a 3G and cannot program the GPS
If anyone is interested in writing the Location grabber for me please post back!
