There are some tremendous applications there and various killer apps or killer apps in the making from just one source. My favourite, after Sports Tracker, which should not really be here having its own page and having been around before the beta programme, but anyway... is Location Tagger. I downloaded and removed Shozu once, and downloaded it again following some threads that mentioned the ability to location tag via this app... if you can I cannot find it. Location Tagger on the other hand does exactly what it says on the box: allows you to geotag photos and video. Why would I want to do that, well here goes:
There are many uses, the one below would be great weather, we are in the park, the application opens a little icon in picture/video mode, showing if you have GPS coverage and then you can upload to web (as icon shows in screenshot below) or just email or MMS (would be interesting to see if the GPS data remains in the jpeg header when the image is formatted down for MMS?). To see the full image click here Sportstracker goes realtime and uses pedometer Applications are getting better and more available all the time, in many ways thanks to the likes of Mosh and the latest applications from Google, Yahoo, etc. but also due to the weight the handset manufacturers have thrown behind them, the one that impresses me and engages me the most is sportstracker. If ever there were a killer app, this is it, especially the real-time nature of it and the now ability to use the pedometer. I have used it to refine my mountain bike routes, identify the quickest ways around London, namely my route to work, to find remote beaches, mountain routes and tag restaurants on Google Earth. It has now gone one better and you can upload the data directly to the sportstracker site, where examples such as tracking your dog or tracking a flight have been done. The home starts with a map of the world, so you can track your worldly exploits. you can then even upload geotagged images to be located along the route...
Above is an example of an early morning mountain bike route with friends and lot of stopping... for those of you looking at the pace :-) posted by Christian Borrman 00:00pm 10/03/08 My Applications An image or two is worth a good thousand words:
The ones worthy of note, apart from sportstracker, are:
