Salam That is actually a good idea, I never thought of it. Even if I use it, I still need an alternative methods, as the app will be ported to other symbian phones, which might not have GPS built in. Note that I am using Qt, which is now cross-platform between desktops (mac, linux, windows) and mobile phones (maemo, symbian). So it is good to provide a number of methods of inputting location.
