Basha,

There is also a GPS API in the MTSAS library on mbed.

    /** Enables GPS.
    * @returns true if GPS is enabled, false if GPS is not supported.
    */
    virtual bool GPSenable();
 
    /** Disables GPS.
    * @returns true if GPS is disabled, false if GPS does not disable.
    */
    virtual bool GPSdisable();
 
    /** Checks if GPS is enabled.
    * @returns true if GPS is enabled, false if GPS is disabled.
    */
    virtual bool GPSenabled();
        
    /** Get GPS position.
    * @returns a structure containing the GPS data field information.
    */
    virtual gpsData GPSgetPosition();
 
    /** Check for GPS fix.
    * @returns true if there is a fix and false otherwise.
    */
    virtual bool GPSgotFix();

The library can be found here: https://developer.mbed.org/teams/MultiTech/code/mtsas/

Cheers,

Mike

I am also having similar problems with the GPS API. I am having difficulty in getting the GPS fix.

if(! radio->GPSenabled())
{
 if(radio->GPSenable())
 {
  logInfo("Checking for GPS fix.");
  if(radio->GPSgotFix())
  {
   displayGpsData();
  }
  else
  {
   logInfo("No GPS fix.");
  }
 }
 else
 {
  logError("Error in enabling GPS.");
 }
}

The displayGpsData() method prints out the number of satellites, latitudes & longitudes.
