Don't sweat the internet connection requirement too much. It's becoming more and more common. Aim for the near future rather than today.

It may be. I haven't gone through and nit-picked the design yet, just wanted to get a overall look working.

Thanks for the encouragement. I agree with both sides. Only after I have a fully working version of the google maps version will I start work on an OSM version. That being said, I will also re-evaluate the state of the community when that time comes to determine if it is still a good course of action, or if I want to devote efforts towards the original.

trader007 can only hope to improve
if you lose your internet and still need gps, just open up streets and trips. otherwise, internet enabled gps is MUCH better then standalone imo.

edit- ok i installed it on my desktop. easy to install. ill try it out in the car later, to see if i can get the gps to work. if it does, it looks like this is a winner. the directory search seems thorough, and the map is very easy to read.

its basically looks like a dumbed-down version of bing mobile search, which is awesome.

Oh well, Ill keep an eye on it. Did you ever get it to work Rescuer?

Edit : update, my own fault it wasnt working, my virus scanner had real time prot on and was inserting a proxy between me and the world. Worked fine with it off.

Great app, working good. Can it be made to display in KMS instead of miles?
will be great if you can add buddy tracking as in google lattitude.

Thanks.

I am currently in the process of moving from Illinois to Virginia, so the project is on hold while I house-hunt, pack, move, unpack, etc. However, the app is still a priority for me, and by no means a dead project, just on hold for a short while.

i hope u don't take this offensively but...
i think now would be the best time to make the app open sourced if you want too
so that way maybe others could work on it while your moving and house hunting?
just my 2 cents
i love the potential of the app so far though!!
