gsmGPS v0.3

Download

gsmGPS is a Windows Mobile application that approximates your current location without a GPS. It does this by "triangulation". Since all data is in a local datafile, you do not need WiFi or GPRS or EDGE access - it works offline.

Update (v0.3): I have finally found out how to access the current directory in Windows Mobile. Thanks for the feedback. For the latest version, you can just extract the archive to a directory of your choice (can be on a Storage Card). This new version still has data from OpenCellId.

Instructions:
To install this version, just extract it to a directory of your choice.
Requirement: Windows Mobile with .NET Compact Framework 2.0

The output is a file, mapdata.kml (can be found in the same directory as the executable). This file can be opened in Google Earth:



Note:
If you start the program, it deletes the mapdata.kml and creates a new one, so before starting the program, copy the mapdata.kml file in another location.

To do:
- create a version that runs as a "service"
- emulate a GPS device (so you can use it as a GPS device with other programs, i.e. Google Maps)
