I think you mean "what else other than navigation can I do with GPS". (if I'm wrong, then ignore me).

That's exactly what I was wondering about when I came up with the idea for mp3gps. It's a java program which takes information from a serial GPS (I don't know if it'll work with USB, probably not without modification), and interfaces that to control Winamp. I don't mean to pimp it too hard, but it's out there if you want to mess with it.

http://home.austin.rr.com/sshipman/l...re/mp3gps.html

it provides a display of GPS info such as lat. long, speed, heading, elevation, time, etc.

It uses that information to evaluate user defined rules to determine which playlist to load, based on detected driving conditions.

For example, if you're moving along fairly slowly in one direction, you can play a traffic mix. If you're moving fast in one direction, a Highway mix. If you're changing directions a lot, you can set it to play a cruising mix. If you're driving after midnight, you can set it to play a clubbing mix.

mp3gps also optionally provides speed based volume adjustment.

I do not officially support or update the software, but the source code is available at the above link, and I'll probably be willing to help with problems you may have, or features you may want. One thing that should probably go in soon is configurable GPS sampling intervals. it only samples once every 30 seconds at the moment, which allows quite a bit of detail to be lost.

You can build a radar warner.
Get the position of fixed radar boxes from the internet
or mark them while driving.
When you get near such a position (lets say 200m) the software can issue a warning.

Just an idea...

@jpainter99

would be great but WLAN is not very popular in Germany. Here where I do my studies there's only the university with his dump poor low range WLAN ( I study in a little town with a population of 30000 ( villages & students incluted))and one company having internal Wlan.
Where my parents live it would be more interesting but actually I don't have WLAN because I actually haven't the utility ( have grat DSL flatrate here at DSL without flatrate at my parents home ) and I spend all my money in my new car ( thats also the reason why i actually didn't yet bought an GPS receiver )

Nobody with a money clone machine around ?

Think is for logging the position if you cannot detects who's network it is or checking radius of 11/5/ 1 MBit. And after share it with others -
Only explication I have

Netstumbler can use a gps to record the position of the AP, and then record its stats and map it.

Okay, as promised, the winamp java plugin has been uploaded. You can now download it from my software install page. If you find that stuff is still missing, let me know.
