i am doing a project “Route Tracer using GPS”. it is basically a project that traces a vehicle on a particular route that is digitized.it highlights the vehicle as it moves. i am using GRASS 6.0.1 for digitization of the map. till now i am successful in writing the program for taking in the lat/longs from the GPS and storing them onto the computer. but the problem is how to take the data that is stored on the computer and put it onto the map that is digitized.
in which language should the program be written. does GRASS has some special language in which the program can be written.
please do consider my problem at the earliest.
thanking you in anticipation.

All relevant software to do this is already written.
see: (GRASS 6.1-cvs)
v.in.garmin
v.in.gpsbabel (beta)
these are all just Bash shell scripts which you can study from.
or more generally
v.in.ascii
for loading a text file with positions in to into the GIS.
use d.out.gpsdrive to export back to real-time GPS navigation software.
e.g. have GPS log track internally, then use v.in.garmin to load into
the GIS. that's it!
