I think these kinds of things would be doable if user could 'tag' locations based on available bluetooth or wifi hotspot data. Then later on device can make assumptions : "I can see this wifi now so I must be at/near location A", "I can see paired bt-device which is car's wireless headset so I must be near users car". System could also store last gps location when car's headset (or whatever user has customized) was visible. >> If you park in a public garage you don't have gps, so your app wouldn't >> work. >> > > (see above, could 'fix' this problem!) > Or you can chare information that you have visited special locations > (mountains, citys, shops, restaurants) with your friends - online or > offline. > > This would be really nice feature. // Tapani _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community
