Image I were driving from Key West to Everglade city and the local telco's (cingular, verizon, etc) don't provide agps. I know the location of parking meters, since they broadcast an ad-hoc 'HP' ssid, so I could use that info to get a approx (~100m) location. There are a *lot* of accesspoint a long the major highways you can navigate on. http://placelab.org/ has some nice suggestions and a reference (ugh.. java..) implementation. regards, Koen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFFZZ1YMkyGM64RGpERAgV+AKC4VyQWf9tq5msDtC+K0SOp6UWAlgCcDQj1 HOmykyQeFAGpvzycPJqHjIs= =ILaD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community
