It’d be great if the 3G iPhone hit the scene with a legit GPS receiver in tow. But, should the 3G iPhone fail to materialize and GPS hardware, it would be nice get GPS functionality via a hardware add-on.
The latest iPhone developer to get cozy with GPS, Simba, is showing off their beta-stage GPS solution for the iPhone. The video below shows the Simba GPS software showing a heading/combination display, accessible satellites, and mapping the iPhone’s position on Google Maps.
From what we can see, the GPS dongle is still obviously in development. But, the important thing is that it works. Now, we’ll just have to wait and see how Simba deals with Apple’s iPhone developer program. Apple doesn’t allow developers to mess with the iPhone dock connector, but the release of iPhone PwnageTool opens up the possibility that the third-party add-on will live to see the light of day – along with those other GPS solutions for the iPhone.
Enjoy the vid.
