    Yes, nowadays new phones use mini USB ones. Try to find old 2nd hand phones.. they are usually available at phone shops. I'm not sure if they would still have the DB9/RS232 data connectors with them.. you can search on ebay.

    Alternatively, since most phones have bluetooth, there are bluetooth modules available that interface with the PIC via UART.. but they are a little costly. Sparkfun has this one: #-Link-Snipped-#

    Btw, please post more on CE! You've been here since Aug 07 😉

    you can check this out..its something similar..called MyLocation by Google...

    here's the link : #-Link-Snipped-#


    Also, this person has tweaked MyLocation further to provide a more accurate position estimation based on Python code....Check it out:
