Oh that's brilliant, cant fkn wait , wife wants me to write her an app for her windows 7 phone, and now that it will be able to handle GPS I should be able to make the app for her.

How awesome is that post, I'm so getting Monkey now.

windows 7 phone


Ah... the code I posted to only works with an Android phone...

It should be possible to write some extern code to do it with a Windows phone too but I haven't got one so I can't test it.

@Blitzplotter - yes - Monkey is great for android...so many things can be done with it...lots of possibilities.

I've played around with a few things such as an app for finding the a stocked item in the nearest store, also a fantasy game that involves exploring a wilderness area with various rpg elements...a running app that involves interval training by having monsters chase you when you slow down for too long...

I'm thinking of writing an 'overtaking app' - I've got a 50 mile commute to work and there is plenty of passin places but in the pitch black you can spend an in-ordinate amount of time behind people that almost seem to drive with 70 percent of their time glued to their Sat Navs (i.e. Bloody slowly!)

I wouldnt touch that with a 10 foot poll, the thought of making a mistake in the code and the app telling some one they can overtake when in fact they cant.. SHEESH!. dont bare thinking about.
