What I'm talking about is allowing a program (a geocaching database, in my case) to run the mapping program, while passing a set of coordinates (via the cmdPBP parameter for SysUIAppSwitch()) to mark a waypoint on the map (optionally with a name for it), so you can find it there in relation to where the GPS receiver tells you that you are. Mapopolis does this with street addresses, and allows passing a creator ID to return back to when a "Done" button was tapped that it would display in that situation. If they accepted GPS coordinates to do the same thing, then that would be a perfect example. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Smith // avalon73 at arthurian dot nu // http://www.arthurian.nu/ Software Developer // Gamer // Webmaster // System Administrator You're just jealous 'cause the voices talk to me... -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
