Virtual GPS from Skyhook Wireless

truf | 07 May, 2008 21:16

I just check updated Skyhook SDK and find very nice tool:

"Virtual GPS - Developers of GPS-enabled applications can now simply plug into the WPS engine using the NMEA standard interface with no additional code changes" 

Thats just great news. Frankly, using OpenC based Skyhook API in pure Symbian C++ application is a bit ugly for me. Thats great what now user can just install Virtual GPS service on the phone, and any application can get Location from it without any changes in its code!

One problem: i wonder how it can work on device, which already have GPS onboard. Becouse some applications can use both GPS and WPS in one time... or switching then GPS not aviable (perhaps user drive into tunnel).

I cant check Virtual GPS for s60 yet - its still unaviable, bcs it under Symbian Signed process..

Other features of updated Skyhook SDK can be found there.
