Blackberry GPS App?

LittleMissMagic · #1 (**permalink**) 02-04-2009

I have a Blackberry that I just got a bluetooth GPS antenna for. I would like to use it as a replacement for my old Magellan 310 as it just doesn't have much life left in it. I really only use a GPS for speed logging since I do most of my navigation by pilotage.

The problem is that I can't find an application that will allow me to use the GPS antenna for simple navigation functions, (lat/lon, bearing, vmg, sog, etc.)
I know that its got to be out there. Hopefully some of you more techno-savvy sailors can help me out. Thanks!

Jon—

It would help if you said which model blackberry you have, as not all software will work on every model. I'd suggest you look at here.

It is a Blackberry 8220 Pearl flip.
The " Spot " software on the link above looks like what I'm looking for.
Thanks SD.
