Palm Programming: GPS receiver

Abstract This paper looks at the process of developing an application for a device running a Palm operating system; specifically, any device running OS 3.x or newer. The main focus is broken into two separate ideas: understanding the process flow and minimum requirements of any Palm application and the development of a program to receive and display data gathered from a Garmin GPS 25 LVC receiver unit. All of the programs, processes, and ideas contained herein …

…the assumption that there was likely a programming error the code was modified and rearranged into several different configurations to attempt to remedy the problem. After many hours of testing the error could not be resolved. The program does gather data and display it properly but the device must be run through a soft reset when exiting the application by pressing the on screen reset button. The entire source code is contained in Appendix C.
