Windows Phone Thoughts: JGUI's GPS W.A.I.T. ("We Are In Touch")

"This program exchanges the position point from the GPS by the SMS cellular phone network. You can find your friend and see his/her position on the map or satellites photo. Now you can check where and how far he/she is away from your current position. This program is dedicated to use with Pocket PC Phone Edition devices. But this is not a limit. If both side (you and your friend) have Phone Edition with connected GPS Receivers, all runs automatically. Just in one touch of screen. If somebody has not a Phone Edition, but only GPS Rx and any type of cellular network phone. Then the position can be send by the manually edited SMS. The Phone Edition device will receive this message and automatically put to the map - no special manipulation need. Best of all: every Phone Edition device can display up to 10 friends in one map, independently."



This looks like a cool use of Phone Edition's messaging functionalities. What I'd really like is the ability to support cell tower-based GPS (this requires an attached GPS solution) -- while that would be more approximate, having a solution that would work with just the Phone Edition device would be potentially very useful -- but that's probably dependent on the carriers. In any case, you can download a 7-day trial version or buy a copy from Handango. [Affiliate]
