Hello everybody,
I have been searching for ages now for some kind of simple app that will work with my Raphael that provides basic infos found on really old-school GPS units. I'm talking like 15 years ago technology, with no colour stuff, no map needed even just simple:
- Lat & Long info
- Speed (in different units)
- Altitude
- Distance traveled since last "odometer reset"
- Distance to destination (by plugging in lat/long)
- Ete / eta
- Satellite signal and epe info (though this is not vital for me)
- Waypoint entry and management
- Track and route management
And that is about it. All I can find is stuff involving road maps, nothing to do with half of this stuff and much of this software must be paid for, which I don't REALLY mind, just that 97% of what the software consists of (i.e. the map) I will likely never use.
I am a pilot (fly crappy Cessnas for now) and although some of the airplanes I fly are equipped with GPS, most are not, and God forbid there is any emergency, it is nice to be able to see where I am (latitude + longitude + map) and it may save my life some day.
I used to have a really old-school Garmin that did all of these things, and I may have to invest in another if I don't find a software that can cover these items. It would just be silly though, as my phone is a GPS too.
Thanks in advance, I am sure such a software exists, it is just hard to find!
Try VisualGPSce it tells you most of the data you requested.

Yall Gotta Have Diz First Came Custom Rides Custom Homes now a Custom Phone.
The fully-customizable zzzPhone has launched. And when we say "fully customizable," we mean FULL customizable. With phone which comes with a 3-inch touch screen, 2GB memory, and 3-megapixel camera, runs on Windows Mobile 6 and is available for US$149. But that doesn't stop there. You can customize not only your phone's color, but also its features (higher megapixel, Skyper in your phone, etc), which would, understandably, also add to the price. We can't wait to see if the zzzPhone becomes a hit because if it is, then the major players in the industry are given something to think about.

I like the idea of pick your own options. Hopefully this will catch on. Thanks for sharing, I will be keeping an eye on these to see how they stack up quality wise when so user data is available.
sounds good, but there is always a catch....either a lack of something or something you don't want.
Just found this info, and it appears that the zzzPhone is now going to be running a non windows mobile OS. Possible Google Android in the near future.

The red squiggles show where I think a clue could be placed to show there are more items in the list. It could be an arrow key or any standard method of indicating there are moe things out of view. The red and green arrows are just possible alternatives. The programs touch flo screen could do with the same as it is not OBVIUOS there are more items to be seen.
A nice silver triangle button that fades when there are no more items would be cool.
Some may ask why I suggest this interface usability tweak (in any format). Good question.

Hmmmm......after using TF3D or even READING THE MANUAL it is obvious that there are more items to display.....
Don´t need an arrow in e.g. the contacts application to remind me that there is more than just one page.......but then again, that´s just me.......
BTW: I´ve long turned off TF3D for a less funky but faster and more usable interface.....
But
RTFM and learning are not available to the people who are not 'lovers' of the technology.
They pick it up, look at it, and don't enquire..
Many business users are almost or over, half a century old.
They wouldn't see the value of XDA Developers, etc.

If anyone, for any reason, does not read the manual of the device, they don't deserve to use its full potential.

O3touch brings us a perfect solution that integrates searching and contact managing with Email and Sms sending in one environment, in a real one finger operation, fast and easy to use - and all that for free!
My immediate reaction. After a day of use, I found myself asking “where have you been before?”.
I can not understand how I managed before. I don’t find myself any more thinking twice before going into the process of sending an Email or texting. Now I don’t think twice – it’s all so easy and fast.
We have seen many applications dialers trying to deal with these issues, not even close to what has been accomplished by o3touch. They are heavy, slowing down the device and don’t really do the whole job.
Suddenly everything is big! From the contact name to the text message, not to forget the incoming caller’s name.
Searching, writing, replying, editing, you name it, it’s all visually clear and easily done with one finger – you can forget your stylus at home!
One of the most amazing features is the high ability to customize the o3touch to your preferences. There are 40 deferent setting options.
You can decide what functions you want to take advantage of.
You can adjust the speed of the app, select keyboards combination, change the entire UI language, sound level, visual effect and much more.

Just released a new app for senior citizens - TilePhone.
The app is specialized for old folks who are not used for smart phones and need a simple phone for voice calls only (no SMS no whatsup etc.).
If you have a spare smartphone after an upgrade, grandpa can now use it without getting lost in all of android possibilities.
The app was developed for my 85 year old father and he uses it daily with much success, for calling his close relatives and dialing a number occasionally.
Usually smartphone have much better speaker then small dum phones, so a smart phone may be a smart choice specially if you install tilePhone and prevent the user from getting lost.
Main Features:
1. 11 speed dial buttons you can configure from the phone contacts list.
2. Hardware keys locked to prevent the user from accidentally exiting the app.
3. Configure or exit by swiping down & pressing the notification (swipe down is extremely difficult for the senior citizens we target).
This is how it looks:

OpenCV was continually distinguishing something, yet gave loads of false hits. additionally it is an excess of work to gather every one of the photos for what i have as a primary concern. i have attempted three routes with OpenCV:
FeatureDetection (SURF, ORB et cetera) - > was much too moderate and insufficient elements on my articles.
Format Matching - > appears to just work when the layout is precisely a section out of the scene picture
Preparing classifiers - > this worked the best as such, yet is an excess of work for my objective, and still gives excessively numerous false discoveries.
metaioSDK was working alright when i took my reference pictures (the symbol part of every catch) out of a photo like appeared above, then printed the full picture and pointed my android gadget camera at the printed picture. be that as it may, when i attempted with the genuine catches (not a photo of them) then nothing got distinguished any longer. in the metaio documentation it is said that the reference pictures need heaps of elements and shading contrasts furthermore ought not just comprise of white content. indeed, as you see my reference pictures are precisely the inverse from what they ought to be. in any case, that is exactly how the catches look
