	Which GPS? Your phone has an integrated one? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	No it needs an external bluetooth gps receiver. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	No, I'm using an external, no-name SiRF Star III bluetoth GPS device with my N80. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Thanks I have been wanting a Bluetooth GPS receiver to work with http://www.mgmaps.com/ at $50 this looks a good option (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Yep, it was the cheapest I found, and the chipset is great - once locked on to some satellites, it maintains a good signal even indoors! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Haha... a bunch of apartment buildings! :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	vaibhav 2007-03-16 05:07 pm UTC (link)
	Does it record altitude data too? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mrinal 2007-03-16 05:32 pm UTC (link)
	Yes it does! I was wondering why anyone would need that.. until you asked me. ;-) (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	vaibhav 2007-03-16 05:36 pm UTC (link)
	Coolax! I must have tried more than a dozen combinations of gps receivers and palm / windows / macos based gps data loggers. I think I am going to move back to my Nokia E50 for a while. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	jd_knight 2007-03-17 01:54 am UTC (link)
	Yes it does! I was wondering why anyone would need that If u are going on a random trek? of if u are mounting it on an RC heli :p (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Or if you're flying the plane yourself, like vaibhav. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	hey from Robotics to Genomics ? :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mrinal 2007-03-17 07:43 am UTC (link)
	Well, I'm actually doing both right now - a degree in CS/Robotics, and research in computational biology. I hope to get some research done in robotics as well before I graduate. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	anushsh 2007-03-17 07:50 am UTC (link)
	Whoa awesome.. amazing. I was just looking into the Research/Publications page on the site. All the best :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Yep - microarrays! Are you working on microarrays too? (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Sub-Optimal route jyothirmayee 2007-03-18 07:51 am UTC (link)
	Dude thats a sub-optimal path. Any constraints ? By the way, its pretty cool to track routes. I think we need it most on Bangalore's haphazard roads and probably the public transport should start using the speed and time features it to improve their service. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: Sub-Optimal route mrinal 2007-03-19 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	The moment I posted the map, JD pointed out that it was sub-optimal. I hadn't really realized till then, because that was the way I was used to. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)
