Hi Stig, Very cool, I've got it running on my A702 now. Many phones contain the same GPS chip sets that the Garmin and other hand held do. My phone also has provisions for an external antenna so it's not a poor cousin to a dedicated GPS. Battery longevity is the main issue but this can be overcome fairly easily when the unit is being used as a logger.
