Trimble on Android
If you’ve been waiting for a GPS navigation application for the Android platform (other than TeleNav, and CoPilot) your wait is now over. Trimble just released an application called Trimble Outdoors that turns TMo’s G1 into a full-featured GPS navigator and geotagging tool for hiking, backpacking, fishing and other outdoor activities.
The application is best used with the site www.trimbleoutdoors.com which lets users review and plan trips online, send routes, maps and waypoints wirelessly to the G1, use the phone as a GPS navigation system to guide outdoor adventures, and tag pictures with geolocation, text, and audio and share them online.
The application will let you get maps of your location, track a certain route using breadcrumbs, and mark and edit waypoints along the way. And of course Trimble Outdoors features a digital compass showing coordinates, speed and heading.
You can pick up Trimble Outdoors from Android Market for $20 but apparently that’s the introductory price.
