Found… me?

It’s been a while since I thought about global positioning. I started to play with the theory on a project, but I didn’t have any gps receiver at the time, so it was kind of developing something without the actual real thing.
Since I bought my Nokia E61i I’ve been wondering about finally getting a receiver to get data into my “huge” cellphone screen. It was also a good reason to contribute to the OSM community. Wait… I’m a city guy. No so much ‘unkown’ roads. Oh, I know, I’ll contribute with good drinking spots! Great!
Now that’s all wrote in the paper, I’ll put the gps receiver on my shirts pocket and start walking like bum on the city streets or even go outside the perimeters. Wild stuff!
Now seriously, GoogleMaps works perfectly with GPS, but unfortunetly it needs the network connection 24/7, which is a real crap if i’m travelling and I have no credit to access GPRS (no, I don’t have an unlimited data plan). So, I decided to start using Sygic McGuider, which looks VERY nice, probably better than TomTom… And here I go, all equiped for my journey arround the world. Right….
