If we're looking at a fresh API we should be looking at positioning in general. We have other sources of data such as cell lookup and magnetometers. In cars we may have access to speed data over CAN bus. We should provide some reasonably direct interface to each sensor available, plus a best estimate of position, orientation and velocity bsed on the available data. _______________________________________________ smartphones-standards mailing list smartphones-standards@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/smartphones-standards
