[QUOTE="kmmx, post: 711830, member: 64778"] I've played around with doing this for a different reason - an app to track distance based exercising (running, biking, etc - anything you can reasonably carry the iPhone on). The problem (and reason I stopped development...) is that the GPS just doesn't work very well in a pocket. If it's out in your hand, or on a shoulder strap - it's pretty much golden. Move it down into your pocket and bam - no more GPS pings followed by wildly inaccurate (1.5km range). So, such an app would likely have a "keep the phone in the open" limitation attached. That said I've just installed 2.0.2 and it does seem to have improved the GPS accuracy. I'll give it a try and see what I get. [/QUOTE]
