GPS Mapping software (gpsdash/oziexplorer)?

[lancelot]

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is good gps mapping software available for the S60 third edition phones, preferably able to use the N95 internal GPS?
I used to use gpsdash on my pocketpc, and was very happy with it, however I can't seem to find similar software for my new phone...

Any pointers greatly appreciated!

Mark.

Yes, that's exactly what is of interest to me as well... Can we use pocketpc connected to N95's integrated GPS?

Hmmm...
Couldn't find anything that suits my needs, so I aplied for a developers certificate at symbiansigned.com, signed and installed pyS60 and the LocationRequestor module, and hacked a python script that by now is usable for me.
Anyone who is interested can find it here:

Beware that I've only worked on this for about a week now, and so it will probably still have many issues. Consider this to be 'alpha' software!

Thank you! I will try it out. I been looking for this feature. I am planning to use it on sea where I have plenty of paper maps.

Tracker.py has moved, and can now be found on google code:
tracker-py - Google Code

Also, a redesign version is now available (0.20.5) which is a lot better than the previous
0.14x series.

Please let me know if you have issues, or if you have requests.
