Help Make gpsVP Better!

Posted by Mike Benton on April 9th, 2008

Vsevolod Shorin has announced that gpsVP is open sourced and is welcoming people to help develop and make it better. If you enjoy developing for Windows Mobile or just want to help develop the wiki you can join the project gpsVP at Google Code. For the beginner developer it could even be a learning experience just checking out the code.

Hopefully, we can get some AllShadow community members on the project to ensure compatibility.

    a good explanation by Mike would have come in handy!

    Can this be used with the Shadow out of the box? Any additional information? How to use it, how it works, etc?

    It is totally free gps software for your phone & it can use openstreetmap.org (s) freely downloadable maps.

    Even has a desktop version.

    After trying it I will add it can’t hold a flame to a real map like googlemaps can provide. I was unable to download anything for my area other than an airspace map.
    Openstreetmap.org is UK based.
    Interesting even so.

    mobile gmaps has a jar file that works well also but I don’t even have a sirfstar3 receiver yet anyways.

    Yeah sorry about the lack of a better explanation on my part but basically gpsVP is one of the only opensource GPS based programs out there that is worth anything. The functionality is there but the interface and seamless map loading could use some help. The developer has brought it a long way and I can see some how opening it up further would take it strides.
