I would like to know the best possible way to use maps in a GPS application.
Our university group has a project which requires us to develop a java based GPS prototype similar to a TomTom device. We will be given a GPS adapter which will send and receive the data, which we will need to use in our GPS application. It will not be embedded, but will be run on a standard computer using a jar file. A few questions are 1. How can the data be used in accordance with the map, e.g. How will the relevant map be shown and how will the route be calculated using the available roads etc. Surely there must be a framework available and we aren't supposed to start from scratch? 2. How is the data transformed into usable data? The NMEA sentence will need to be used. 3.How will the distance be calculated from point A to B?
