Well, d'uh, don't post in comp.lang.php then. We're not experts about any
GPS interface. Ask in approproate places what kind of protocol/interface
is required for different devices, and as soon that is clear and you're
not certain how to implement those protocols, post back in c.l.php with
the interface spec and the question how to do that. I doubt anyone here
will do that work for you, allthough you have a very, very small chance
you might get lucky and find someone who has done it before. I don't think
PHP would be the language of choice for most people attempting this, I
certainly wouldn't.
