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)

      Tried it yesterday. Looks good, but I have had some random reboots on my HTC touch diamond. Also, after closing the program, I have to do a reboot to get the gps to restart. I have a feeling that the gps is continuing to run, because my battery seemed to go dead very quickly. I would like to see a gps averaging capability to get more accurate location data. Someone else commented that an update rate option of once a second would be good. I second that.

      I’m am developing on a touch pro that is very similar to the diamond and i don’t get those random reboot problems. Maybe it’s something related to the power management.
      Are you using the latest updates from HTC?
