gps gsm location python s60 (See related posts)

Hi Guys,

I've just put together two smaller Python apps I've seen around in this discussion board.

The resulting app prints 1) info obtained by a BT gps (i.e. $GPRMC sentence, but may change as you like) and 2) GSM cell id.

My wish is to collect these info periodically (i.e. 2/3 minutes) and send them back via an HTTP POST to a specified host.... could anybody help? ;-)

Thanks

-Luca
