      MSGID: 1:153/757.21@fidonet 06aaa08c       PID: OpenXP/5.0.57 (Win32)       CHRS: ASCII 1       TZUTC: -0400       I just realized that the gps receiver in the Blackberry Q10        (bb) can be entertaining.              It began with my search for an app that could integrate the GPS        reciever with map info. The built-in Maps app in the bb only        works with cellular connection, so that wouldn't do.              A friend suggested a OpenMap from Fdroid.. but the bb wouldn't        support it. (Fdroid only provides a download link for apps that        it thinks are compatible with my bb's Android version). But in        the list of supported apps was something called GPStest which        was downloadable.              I'm suitably impressed with that one!              It pinpoints the GPS sats in the sky, even the other        international ones not just the USA ones.              There is a map mode which pinpoints one's own location, and the        data is shareable. So.. if you needed to tell someone your        coordinates, it's easy.              The app operates purely with GPS, no cellular or wifi required.                     --- OpenXP 5.0.57        * Origin: Mobile?
