I'm using Stellarmate OS and am able to successfully sync the time and location to my device using the Android app. What I would like to do once that is complete is get the GPS location KStars is using into a Python script that I have which sets up my mount. Currently it prompts for me to enter a location or defaults to my home location. The mount that I am using does not accept location from KStars which is why I have a script to set that up initially. Once that initial setup is complete everything else works fine, so I just need to figure out how to pull the current location out of KStars or wherever the Stellarmate app stores it on the Pi. I have tried looking at the dbus example for controlling KStars but that is all over my head.

Thanks
