Hi everyone :)

I would like to ceate an app to get the current location via gps with the touch. I know that the iPod Touch does'nt have a gps receiver, but there are some bluetooth gps-receiver.
Does anyone have experiences with those receivers, especially how to get the coordinate datas, to use them in the app.

thanks a lot :)

The bluetooth stack on iPhone OS devices is very locked down. Unless the iPod Touch is jailbroken I believe it is impossible to do this (unless the device has been through the made-for-iPod Apple program and you are the manufacturer).
