Hi there!

Just uploaded some major updates to the repos!

This update include:

• improved power management with support for unattended execution for tracking mode (it should reach a full day of  usage now).
• new waypoint management, with full loading and saving of kml placemarks and ability to add, remove on the fly and follow a target waypoint.
• should work on QVGA phones too.
• it still depends on Ms gps location sample library.

This version (1.9.3) is near to something usable in real world but is still needing some debugging and improvemets

Here some early screenshots:

Some of the basic function are implemented like:

• Work on VGA phones in WM6.1 (i’m developing with a HTC touch pro)
• Ability to track the path and export in kml format
• Ability to save waypoints and export in kml
• Preliminary map support with track displaying
• Stopwatch and Distance meter

To-Do list:

• GPS access library (currently it is using the msdn location sample library)
• Better power management
• Better user interface based on Fluid project
• Loading of waypoints
• Installer and CAB for first version
• Map loading with and calibration or google maps integration
• Porting to other phones (WVGA/QVGA/non touch phones)
