GPS-Tracker script [Android]
Hi UNIX-Forum!
I don't know if this is the right Forum for my question, but since Android technically is a UNIX-based system...
I have a rooted Android and a Terminal emulator and bash installed.
I wanted to write a little script for my android that activates GPS, gets the location and sends it via SMS to another phone.
My first problem is that I can't find anywhere how to activate GPS from the shell. Is it even possible? There should be something, no?
Many thanks if someone could help me on this kind of special Topic!
