cotogps

• Shows position (latitude, longitude), altitude, speed, course, date, time, magnetic variation, speed-to-target and more.
• Shows satellite positions graphically, including position of sun and moon.
• Take or input upto 65000 markers for navigation or survey, add notes of virtually unlimited length.
• Capture, manage, calculate and draw distances, tracks and areas.
• Sync Palm's internal clock with the very accurate GPS time.
• Supports PalmOS 3.0 and up.
• Supports PalmOS 5, including high resolution mode.
• Supports Sony's Clie's (high resolution, screen resizes).
• Supports HandEra 330 (high resolution, screen resizes).
• Supports Garmin iQue 3600 (built-in GPS interface, high resolution, screen resizes).
• Supports Styletap. At least somewhat. Didn't check Bluetooth support (hardware lacking). There are reproducable crashes when selecting categories on marker page. Don't know why.
• Supports all NMEA capable GPS devices, including (but not limited to) Snap-on's, GPS mice, Bluetooth GPS devices and Handspring boards given they communicate using a serial device. This means, that we do not support iGolf and StarNet SDIO receivers. I got some kind of developer docs from iGolf, that didn't help me at all. I even got hardware from a very kind user, but without docs I'm lost. Sorry, I'm not a clairvoyant.
• Documentation is included in the application. Every page and every dialog provides instant help.
• Internationalization framework included, it's easy to support new languages. If you want cotoGPS localized to your language and you are willing to make the translation, please read this.
• Desktop companion available as a Java-based application running on your computer (see here) or a web-based service without any local installations (UPDATE! This service is cancelled by the server owner. I'm working on getting it up and running somewhere else!). Enables you to edit markers, view tracks and view/save the log on your PC, Mac or workstation (wherever a decent webbrowser or a Java runtime is available). Can export files in these formats: GPX, IGC, TOP50 Overlay and KMZ. The latter is what you need for Google Earth! See amazing examples!
• Native support from GPS Visualizer, thank you Adam! You can create maps like this nice one from Zeke (thank you too!) by just uploading your tracks. Here are some tracks I've made during various vacations.
• Native support from GPS Babel, a universal converter for all kinds of waypoint, track and route formats.
• Format of databases are open. Here is the description, it's YOUR data, work with it. Remember, that there is a web-based service and a desktop app which helps you manipulating and converting your data.
• Unfortunately, it seems to be impossible to switch off the screen (or blank or dim or whatever) reliably. Yes, I know. Your favourit music player can do this. I can't reliably, without accessing the hardware. I guess, the music player will do just that, but I won't. If you have a nice platform independend way to achieve this, I'm of course very interested to hear from you!
