Using the GPS Features of Your Cell Phone?

Posted by Cliff on from the everyone-else-knows-my-coords-why-can't-I dept.

travik asks: "I use a Nokia 3650. The cell phone already knows my co-ordinates (E911 service). It has Bluetooth. Why can't I send the coordinates using Bluetooth to my laptop, and use a mapping application to give me my location and directions to where i want to go. I've searched Google and also read up on old posts, no one seems to be doing it. Why?"

    Do it yourself! You've spotted a neat idea, now get to it. You could do it so many ways, make something neat.

    God, what a great opportunity.....
