garble.el is an emacs interface for garble, a command line tool for
talking to various Garmin GPS units. See
for
information about garble.
This code aims to provide the primitive functions for talking to a Garmin
GPS unit and getting the data back in an Emacs Lisp friendly way. It
should be possible to write all sorts of things based around these
functions. For example, `sunrise-sunset' could be given a wrapper that
ensures you get the information for the location of your GPS unit:
(defun sunrise-sunset-here ()
(interactive)
(let* ((pos (garble-get-position))
(calendar-location-name "GPS location")
(calendar-longitude (car pos))
(calendar-latitude (cadr pos)))
(sunrise-sunset)))
