Looking to keep track of your current location on your trip? Trying to locate the nearest bank in your new neighbourhood, or are you just looking for a restaurant to hold tonight's date - with that shagadelic girl next door? GPS tracking from your mobile phone can make all these child's play. In this post I'll be pointing out 10 good GPS applications to use on a mobile.
GPS tracking on handhelds is a topic that would be viewed as complicated or next to impossible. After Andy from mobilefun.co.uk pieced a nifty write-up on the ultimate guide to GPS on mobile phones, with a follow-up of a comprehensive list of great mobile GPS apps, which makes the idea of using GPS on mobile phones realistic and implementable in minutes, I thought I'd build up an exclusive list of free navigation applications that could be used on java based mobile phones over here at javamobilecrunch.
This post contains top 5 free GPS tracking wares for java mobiles from the list at mobilefun, then another 5 great picks which I gathered from around the web. Hope you'll enjoy them.
- 1. Trackmate:
this is an awesome GPS ware which features the ability to mark your destinations, allows you to view location details, speed, top speeds, etc.
You can post landmarks on the map, which are denoted by small red flags, and then share them with friends and family over the web or on your phone. Here is the download link. - 2. Buddyway: buddyway is a perfect companion for frequent or hobbyist travelers. With buddy way you have access to detailed info; as trip speeds at different locations, time taken between two intervals, altitude changes through your journey, totall trip time, amongst other metrics.

Thanks for the nice words n3os. That's what I strive to make it. We all need to be a purple cow to be noticed in this clogged-up blogosphere that we operate in.
