Package GPS

Class ImportGPSData

java.lang.Object
GPS.ImportGPSData
public class ImportGPSData extends Object
Class to take external GPS data and record in a database table. Developers should be able to easily add functions to load data the simply add to the switch statement in the doInBackground() function of the ImportGPSThread. Inside the function, the ImportGPSThread should be updated with load progress. Everything else should then just work.
