I have to thank Austin for pointing me to this great app. This is a mobile version of Microsoft’s popular Live search. I’m not going to bother about functionality details since you can find all sorts of blogs discussing it. The main thing that I want to point out is that I [...]

I’ve received a fair amount of emails lately asking how to get BlueGPS working with different Bluetooth GPS receivers. The configuration is generally the same for most receivers. Some users are unaware of my configuration page and I wanted to share the link here: http://www.db75.com/new_blog/?p=235. I’ve made a couple of updates so [...]

I’ve received a numerous amount of emails from users asking me how to install and use BlueGPS on their Windows Mobile devices. Since there are several steps to this process and I’ve done very little documentation, I wanted to get started with a generic howto for configuring a Bluetooth GPS receiver. I currently own a [...]

I spent some time this evening adding a sidebar to the geotagging app. If you click on a tag in the right sidebar the map is recentered and a window displays the tag information. Now I just need to get it so other BlueGPS users can post their favorite tags. Once this [...]

I’ve been spending what little spare time I have on BlueGPS and getting data from Windows Mobile over to my Rails app. I received a few feature requests from BlueGPS users asking for the ability to “geotag” locations with a simple note. I ultimately want to build in photo capabilities, but I’ll save [...]

While working on a recent update to BlueGPS I’ve added the ability to “geotag” favorite spots with a location and basic note. The data is uploaded from a Windows Mobile device to a remote server. The server is currently running Ruby on Rails. I’ve added methods to add geotags and am currently [...]

After much feedback from users I’ve decided to add geotagging functionality to the next version of BlueGPS. This will allow you to click “Tag This Location” on your device and add a note (even a photo in a future version) and upload it to a server. Users will be able to share their favorite locations [...]

I’ve spent a lot of time lately thinking about the next useful piece of functionality to build into BlueGPS. While I’m not sure this is something that everyone could benefit from, I’m going to post my ideas and gather feedack. The idea is to provide a map interface that can be shared with [...]

I just finished up the initial alpha version of BlueGPS for Windows Mobile.  I’m calling it alpha because  there are a couple of known bugs and the functionality in the app is limited right now.  I’m hoping to build a community of users that can provide suggestions and help drive the direction of the product.  [...]

If you’re looking for good information on executing multiple threads in Windows Mobile then check out this article. There’s a code snippet that really helps demonstrate the process of creating and terminating threads. I’m by no means a thread expert so I found the article extremely useful. I’m currently dealing with multiple [...]
