GOOGLE EARTH USB GPS RECEIVER SERIAL

read the data from gpsd (there are at least a couple of gpsd compatible Python libraries) I would most likely choose to code a small program in Python to run on RPi: so could connect from outside world using just a web-browser (for testing and quick checks) or create an application that connects to read the location. Looks like gpsd provides a sort of web-service: 'presents reports in a well-documented JSON application on port 2749'. In most cases however, the location of the RPi is required to be monitored somewhere else. Yep, porting a map app to RPi would be interesting - especially if could use the hw accelerated graphics.

Serial reading, parsing the coordinates and calling http services is somewhat easily programmed using Python.

if this is about getting the map to the RPi, you could look at doing a http request to Google Maps API ('static API') assuming this means sending the location of the RPi to some remote service, use a http library to connect to the service and store the location using the service API (possibly 'the internet of things') Map this on a google map or some kind of service that can be accessed remotely: raw reading of NMEA messages from serial input (some threads about this already) Arduino etc GPS development module + some extra components to GPIO GPS with serial cable + converter to UART GPIO pins (need to turn off debug output to UART, search for a thread about connecting a MIDI device) GPS with serial cable + serial-2-usb converter GPS with USB cable (implementing a serial device) Hook up a GPS to the Pi - possible options (provided that RPi supported hardware found):
