Most smartphones have a GPS chip. This will enable you to create location-aware applications. In this recipe, we'll take a look at how we can obtain the location of a device, and show it on the screen.
I've used the font Junction in this example, an open source font made by The League of Moveable Type. You can download the font from http://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/junction. Drag it onto the Processing editor so you can use it in your sketch.
