Samsung’s High Fidelity Position app enhances GPS on Windows Phone Mango devices

Samsung launched a novel app for Windows Phone Mango devices, High Fidelity Position, to enhance GPS positioning, relying on Russian GLONASS system (GLObal NAvigation Satellite System) and other sensors like accelerometer and compass to determine your location.

I’m not sure anything’s wrong with the built-in location/navigation capabilities, but I guess you could always use an extra hand in urban jungles where high-rises could affect the GPS signal.

I haven’t been able to try out Sammy’s app myself, but from what we’ve heard – it rocks, effectively eliminating the “circle” around your position in Bing Maps.

Once installed, High Fidelity Position won’t appear under apps — rather it will be listed under Settings, which is obviously something the Mango update enabled (at least I can’t recall seeing any other Windows Phone app getting a place there)…

And that’s about all we had to say about it. Hit this link to download application and get that positioning right. 😉
