vishnu 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2006 Hi Friends, Checkout GPSWatch, an innovative app from Interchain Solutions (founded by one of my friends) http://www.i10n.com GPWatch is an J2ME application that interfaces bluetooth GPS (which costs around 3-4k) to bluetooth enabled mobile phones. The application intially showed latitude longitude and other details now they have come out with a latest version which shows maps from Virutal India (Move by Microsoft and Indian Govt to convert all town maps to electronic form) . The application actually traces you on street level maps, its quite amazing......I live in Bangalore and I can see myself moving over every street, cross road, main road....it supports zooming in and out to many levels too. I use it on K750i with Airtel, the application requires GPRS to download maps, I donno if it can work on reliance phones where internet is not available to Java applications directly. But nice app...If someone uses GPRS enabled GSM connection, buy a BT GPS equipment for 3k and try the magic out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vishnu 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2006 Great! will it work with PDAs also?Hope it works with Reliance soon! It should work on PDA becos they usually support J2ME applications. Did you notice, they have a pro version which does not use GPRS (or any internet based service) which means the application should work immediately on all high end reliance phones !!!

kshah 452 Report post Posted April 20, 2006 CDMA networks itself are GPS capable. Only thing is it has to be enabled by network. In kyo 7135, it is GPS enabled. One does not require any additional hardware of applications. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vishnu 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2006 It doesnt work on 6670 nokia Hi Ashok, it would work perfectly on 6670 mobile....my friend uses 6670. just mail your problem to support@i10n.com CDMA networks itself are GPS capable. Only thing is it has to be enabled by network. In kyo 7135, it is GPS enabled. One does not require any additional hardware of applications. You are partially right....newer phones come with what is knows as E911 (which is simlar to GPS). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E911 - has more info on E911 GPS uses satellites to track, E911 uses cell phone towers to track....GPS can provide you accuracy of about +/-1m whereas E911 ~Kms. For GPSWatch and navigating on maps, you will need real GPS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
