can someone help to point me into the right direction for a program that i have been trying to plan..
im trying to log into a website, and have found plenty of information to do it, but it seems that once i log into it, i dont get any confirmation.
the second task i want to do is to be able to log into the different aspects of it (search for people) etc, but i dont know what the correct way to do this would be.
my basic idea is to log into a website, and then to find people in my area, and populate them to a list. the second part to that task would be to use the gps or coarse location feature to find out how far we are from each other.
Im not looking for the solution, but more of a point into the right direction for these things. i have googled my heart out but have come up with nothing that is helpful or really point me in the right direction. maybe im just using the wrong keywords?

I'm more than willing to do the reading and looking for it... but so far I haven't found my answer.
Where is there a "beginning guide" to flashing our phones? I'm really experienced in the computing field, and with all the terms, but is there a Walkthrough for first timers? I can't seem to find it... not in the FAQ, not in the WiKi, and I've been wading through pages, and I can't seem to find anything really specefic.
Just a finger in the right direction is all I need (or a link ). Thanks for everything. So far you all are amazing (and a lifesaver!)
This thread might be a good place for you to start. Hope it helps.

I found the Cingular 8125 ROM that I want to use at the FTP Site. However, it is in a .nba format. It looks like all the other ROM's have exe's that install them for you? How do I use a .nba file?
Hi all,
I'm looking for a very simple program which will read GPS coordinates from my bluetooth GPS receiver and use a GET or FORM request to upload them to a website, i.e.
www.website.com/gps.php?n=000.000&w=000.000
Does such a program exist? I've had a look around here and on Google and can't find anything.
If not, I would be willing to have a go at making it. In this instance, does anyone have any pointers for reading the data from the Com port?
Thanks
Oliy

Thanks for the link, however all the solutions in there are far more complex than what I want, or limited to me making an account on someone else's server.
Is there just a really simple app to do this? Or could anyone provide source code of getting the GPS coordinates, and I could make the rest of the program from there.
Cheers
Oliy: it's a little more involved then just reading the com port. What kind of experience do you have? You have to do quite a bit of token and string parsing. Have a read of the GPS protocols:

Hi Vijay,
Thanks for the link. String and token parsing is fine. I have plenty of experience in core operations of programming languages, it's when you get into hardware specific things that I have very little experience.
I don't have a whole lot of time to program at the moment, I start my internship on monday and I have work on my own little OmapScaler project building up as well, but I've found a guy on this forum who seems to have the same ideas as me, I've PMd him and will hopefully get a reply soon.

i have searched the internet for tutorials or anything that would help and could not find much at all so i figured what better place to ask than here...
i have a little experience in VB and would like to start doing some applications for my PPC. i have done a few small math programs that do simple conversions...as simple as taking input from an input box hitting a button and displaying the output in a label. i would like to learn how to manipulate files, do such things as creating a launcher and doing input functions like the moving of an image like in slide to unlock or scrolling with finger etc. so if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great whether it be a tutorial or source code or what ever.
thanks in advance and thanks to all the people that provide awesome software and help on this forum...maybe one day i can share something i make

Hi there,
Let me start by saying this is going to be a proper newb question Im afraid. I've had a search around but couldnt find what I was looking for, hence the new thread. I am sure there is already a ton of info for my problem so could someone please just point me in the right direction?
That said, the problem is this, I have absolutely no idea what Im doing when it comes to GPS.
I've been onto Google Maps and it all looks great but it has me positioned quite some distance away from my actual location. So I looked into getting some sort of GPS software so that I could make Google Maps more accurate (is that even how it works?). So far I dont want to go and spend my money on say TomTom7 or Igo8 just yet as I want to see how this sort of thing works first. So, I went and found some free GPS software (Im currently trying AzimutGPS) but everytime I try to connect it says "No GPS Signal"
I'm sure I'm doing something quite obviously stupid and wrong, I just cant for the life of me work out what it is!
Any help would be very appreciated!
go into quickgps in you prgrams list and download the info
the problem is you need to have this info otherwise getting a fix takes a very long time
Thank you for the help. I've done this and also found the option in Googlemaps to enable GPS (doh!) So I am now showing on the map as about 20 metres from my exact location, very cool indeed
For some reason I still cant get Azimut to work? Presumably something in the settings Im doing wrong but cant for the life of me work it out.
Are there any decent free navigation programs? Or is best to just pony up the dough and buy IGo8 or TomTom7?
tomtom 7 as softare is free, its the maps that cost money
but u get one free map on startup of tomtom7
hold onh ill get the cab

In my defence I did search Just apparently not very well! The wiki is damned useful and I've used that extensively for the programs and games list
Thanks again for your help, it was much appreciated.
Just realized I put this in the wrong spot. Can someone please move this to the right forum category? Thank you!
I hope this is the right spot for this. I've search and so far not found the answer I am hoping to find.
I have a series of GPS devices (Trimble) with Windows Mobile 6.1 on them that I'm setting up for our field crews. I'm in the process of setting them up to be universal in the settings so anyone can grab and use any device without trying to figure out where everything is again.
Is there a way that I can lock down these devices where the field guys can't go back behind me, once I've made them universal, and change everything around? Or do you all have any suggestions on things that may help me with this? I'm thinking along the lines from wallpapers and customizations and even down to changing owner information. I'd just like to keep these similar and not let them get out of control and messy, if you know what I mean.
Thanks in advance for any help!
