Maybe just working on getting existing bluetooth GPS modules to hook up? (meaning some GPS software for the iPhone). I suppose companies like TomTom may already be working on it.... especially now that the iPhone is headed to Britain.]]>Sep 19th 2007 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/

That is TOO funny, I almost pissed myself. Great Stuff]]>Sep 26th 2007 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/
The program sometimes reports no signal. Other times it shows exact location.

Thanks Navizon.]]>Sep 19th 2007 7:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 19th 2007 7:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 19th 2007 7:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/
I'm still sticking with my i730 (soon an i760...), my own choice in bluetooth GPS receivers, and my own choice in GPS software.]]>Sep 19th 2007 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 19th 2007 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/
Features that are built-in or original are way better than something that emulates it. ]]>Sep 19th 2007 7:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/
Anyway, anyone else encounter strange errors with this software? And I agree, a hardware GPS linked with bluetooth would be a better solution, but this software one is cool for now.]]>Sep 19th 2007 8:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 19th 2007 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 19th 2007 8:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 19th 2007 9:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 19th 2007 9:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 19th 2007 8:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 19th 2007 8:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 20th 2007 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 19th 2007 8:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 19th 2007 8:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 19th 2007 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 19th 2007 8:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 19th 2007 8:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/
GPS is only accurate to a couple of blocks in the city.

I work in the business, I know.]]>Sep 19th 2007 9:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/
Oh and what use will this be if it always has to be in contact with their server using WiFi? (versus EDGE)

Using the data from the Fieldtest.app (identifies tower etc) we (iPhone users) should be able to make a similar app and database with tower locations - Mobile Positioning (thanks ex-Ericsson colleagues!) is based on just the cellphone towers and the radio signal ... so why can't we build that ourselves for our iPhone?

(p.s. anyone out there willing to get other programmers started programming on the iPhone? Or pointers in the right direction?)]]>Sep 19th 2007 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 20th 2007 2:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 20th 2007 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 20th 2007 11:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 20th 2007 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 22nd 2007 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/Sep 20th 2007 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/
Otherwise, it's pretty accurate, I'll check it out more this weekend when i'm running errands around town.

Oh, and GPS is accurate within a few meters, but the cheap/low power units in cell phones only get a few city blocks (i'm in the "real" industry, and I used to deal with military encrypted GPS before our government wisely removed the encryption requirements (wisely for economic reasons, not national security reasons).]]>Sep 20th 2007 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/navizon-virtual-gps-system-now-iphone-friendly/
I am using firmware v 1.1.1, though...some seem to be saying it doesn't work on this particular release.]]>Nov 15th 2007 3:19PM
