Re: [PSAS] GPS programs for phones
GPS and iPhone uses decimal degrees: http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/019163.html Use negative values for western/southern hemispheres. Works fine for me. -Alan On Fri, Oct 15, 2010 at 1:27 PM, ~Me wrote: > For Android, the best program I have found is called GPS Essentials and can > be found in the market.

[PSAS] GPS programs for phones
For Android, the best program I have found is called *GPS Essentials* and can be found in the market. (its a blue background icon with a black satellite in the middle.) There is also a program called Geocaching Tools that will convert Lat. Long. DMS <-> UTM which could be useful. For Blackberry, there is a program called Blackstar Navigation ( http://www.blackstarnavigation.com/) and is available in the BB app store. If someone with an iPhone has a suggestion that would be great, or any other "smart" device with a GPS. If you plan on bringing a handheld GPS, the Telemtrum outputs the coordinates in a degrees with decimal minutes format (N dd° mm.mmm') if you want to pre-configure the device to take the proper formatted way points. I would like to try something new this launch for recovery. As many people as possible/want to, provide me with their cell phone numbers so I can send everyone a text with all of the formats of the LZ so any device or program can get you there. This should also help keep the parade on the same fairgrounds so to speak.
