Don't know how good this is, who wants to test it out 😃

Wow, posted this yesterday, no replies :-? :cry:

I always thought there were a lot of guys waiting for stuff like this. Guess I was wrong... 😮ops:

😮
Believe me, I'm seriously interested!!
Just got back from a driving holiday where I had to do all the navigation, and I'd have killed for something like this... (OK, maybe not killed, but I'd have inflicted a serious chinese burn)

Have to save up for the GPS unit - �290 on www.blueunplugged.com

@Delta

Waited 4 this to really eagerly but somehow i really just dont like the way it looks therefor might as well wait for the falk gps maps they look so much more better have u seen the beta if not check it out at My-symbian.com

I'm really interested in a GPS solution for the P800, but like me I'm guessing most people want a Map/Routefinder program. The program mentioned here is more like a user interface for the Bluetooth GPS to make it usable in a similar way to a handheld GPS with a display.

Still useful but not what most people want.

By the way that Bluetooth GPS is �240.88 at www.expansys.co.uk and I managed to buy one off eBay for �131.

My aim is to write a program to replace those GPS based speed camera notifiers (like the Geodesy, Road Angel etc).

Yup - it appears that this GPS program is really more for people trekking through the woods or mountains! I didn't see roadmaps or indications in the information available.

Would be nice to see a TomTom or AutoRoute style of program available.

Regards,

Lonnie

Expansys also have the Fortuna GPSmart (Bluetooth) for �151 this should also work being NMEA over bluetooth serial connection.
