This first public release (version 0.5.0) of the Ruby for Positioning  
Device (rufopode) project is available. The project allows retrieval of

GPSr data and conversion into GPX for use with popular geomapping  
software like Google Earth and others.

It only supports OSX now but should be available for Windows shortly as

well.
