iPhone owners: Buy the Dashometer app!

[[SFR]G3]

While it pains me to have anything to do with Apple products this Dashometer app is rather good (and the author is my brother in-law who ironically is a software engineer at Nokia in the day time). Never get lost again! So support your extended Sunfall family it's only $0.99 and regularly updated (in true software developer style).

OVERVIEW

Tap the Start button to start the GPS, and a signal indicator will appear. Tap the signal indicator to stop the GPS. Accuracy depends on both signal strength (shown as 1-5 bars) and speed.
