Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I know this is an application that a number of people have requested over the past few years, so kudos to GeoTerrestrial for releasing GPSToday (and for FREE too!)... a GPS toolset for your Today screen! From the GPSToday page...* Does your device have an integrated GPS receiver? * Is your device subscribed to an unlimited data plan? * Is the device OS Windows Mobile 5.0 or above? If you answered yes to all of the above, then GPSToday is a today-screen plugin just for you! Now Includes: * GeoTerrestrial GeoWeather New! * GeoTerrestrial GeoLogger New! * and the GeoTerrestrial GeoTagger add-on for automatically geo-tagging/geo-coding pictures taken on your device! GeoTerrestrial GPSToday offers a mind-boggling array of intuitively accessible features hidden behind a unique and clever interface. * It utilizes intelligent algorithms to always maintain and display a fix on your position right on your today screen, without draining the battery. * Always see your full street address, not just geo-coordinates. * GPSToday always shows the distance to the nearest contact from your device's address book. * Single tap to create a new contact with your current location as the address, or save the current location as an existing contact's address. Imagine not having to type the full street address on the PPC keyboard! * You will never need the stylus to use GPSToday! * Speed, heading and satellite data is shown clearly on the today screen whenever the GPS is running. * In-pocket tap protection. A single tap on the today screen only operates the GPS in quick fix mode. To fully start the GPS in continuous mode requires an iphone like sliding motion, guaranteeing no pocket accidents. * Single tap from the today screen to access fully draggable online maps! * Always see all your address book contacts on the map. Just tap a contact to quickly call/email or send sms. * Single tap from today screen to quickly do a yahoo local search around your current position and see the results on a live map. Just tap a result to call or open the website. * High quality Yelp Reviews for local search results! * Fetch the full street address for any point on the map. * GPSToday automatically disables data access when your device goes into roaming mode. * Install the GeoTagger add-on to have pictures automatically geo-tagged with current location! * You can also manually geotag single or sets of pictures by selecting the desired location on the map. * Supports 240x320, 480x640 VGA, 240x240 and 320x320 resolutions * Now includes GeoTerrestrial GeoWeather which always shows you the current weather for your current location right on the today screen. * Now includes GeoTerrestrial GeoLogger which allows for automatic logging of position updates to a file. * And many more features. * Best of all, its free! Pretty sweet, GeoLogger and GeoWeather sound pretty cool too. With more and more devices featuring integrated GPS now, applications like this become more and more useful. The only possible obstacle I see is fewer devices now using standard homescreen layouts (i.e. TF3D instead). Give it a blast and let us know how you get on!

Guest JamJarPot Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hi Was wondering if anyone had tried this, and got it to work ? I have a HTC TyTnII with wm 6.0 on it, tried installing this and it reset the whole device, ive had to restore a back-up which lucky wasn't that old.

JamJarPot I have got this up and running on a Compact IV. Not sure that it offers much of use so far though, as it isn't really UK Friendly. Might be of some use to our friends across the pond though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cooch1000 Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I installed the app on my UK unlocked TyTn II and it Rocks! I really like the features and usability. I've had it running for 2 days with no measurable problems with battery drain or anything! Accurate at my house to within 2 numbers :D . Between this and the new release of Google Maps I am loving life! (I'm a little giddy lately also after finally receiving the Skyfire Beta2 release and playing around with Flash sites) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeflar Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 installed ok on my kaiser, but pretty pointless as the maps are all US based.. i did like the way it showed your contacts etc and the way it will quick fix is pretty good but not much use without uk maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
