If your small business has a fleet of cars, trucks or vans to deliver your product or service, tracking vehicles' movements when they are away from home base is essential. But vehicle tracking is not only about monitoring the activity of your drivers and workers. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, excessive idling can waste up to 800 gallons of fuel yearly for the average truck. Speeding vehicles can waste another 200 gallons, according to Navtrak, a vehicle tracking firm.

WMMiniGPS is a Windows Mobile 5/6 software which gets your GPS data in a really simple gui, showing you latitude, longitude, altitude and speed. It can log all to file and it can export your paths to Google Earth's kml and gpx format.
There's a compass, which shows your direction and you can set latitude and longitude of a point and the program will show you the way to reach it with a radar, telling you how many meters / kilometers there are to cover.
• Requirements:
Windows Mobile Pocket PC 5 / 6,

UTM data displays your device's GPS position
Thursday, June 12, 2008
UTM data displays your device's GPS position in several coordinate formats.
Do you have a Series 60 phone with GPS capability, such as Nokia E90 or N95, and want to use the GPS satellite information to locate your position with normal printed paper maps?
I tried to do this in the French Alps with the IGN topographic maps. What I found was the coordinates shown in the phone are in decimal format; but the French maps like IGN TOP25 have Universal Transverse Mercator UTM gridlines which are impossible to convert in your head from the decimal lat/lon format shown in the phone. (Go to Wikipedia and other web pages if you want to understand what all that means .. back to school geography lessons for you!).
So I looked for S60 software to display GPS decimal coordinates as UTM and other grid coordinate formats such as OSGB for the UK. In the end I wrote this Java [J2ME] application myself. Here it is for you to download and use. It’s simple with the main view for the current GPS location in several coordinate types:
- degrees in decimals (WGS84 datum)
- degrees-minutes-seconds (WGS84 datum)
- dd mm.mmm (WGS84 datum)
- UTM coordinates (WGS84 datum) in metres
- MGRS coordinates (WGS84 datum) option
- OSGB coordinates (1936 datum) shown when in the UK
There are also several other indicators such as position accuracy, altitude, speed relative to ground, heading in degrees relative to true North, bearing and distance to a landmark, distance to north pole and south pole and equator, civil twilight, sunrise and sunset times, time and date of the last captured position.
Before travelling check your paper map is printed with one of these gridline and datum formats (US maps with UTM grids using either NAD27 or NAD83 datums are not supported) and test the application coordinates against your map before real use! I doubt I'll be adding support for any other datums or country coordinates as these two cover the activities I need in UK and France. Other applications like Nokia GPS data and Nokia Sportstracker have lots more functionality for navigation and can run in the device at the same time as UTM data.
Two additional views provide a Compass bearing to a selected landmark from the device landmark store, and a Map view to a world map. Toggle between these views using Left/Right or "8" key. You can also load small map image files to the Map view by following the instructions here
addition to viewing coordinates for the current GPS position, you can take coordinates read from a paper map (in grid datum formats: OSGB-1936, UTM wgs84, MGRS wgs84, Deg-Min-Sec wgs84, dd mm.mmm wgs84) and convert and save these map positions to the device's Landmark store (in degrees). Then later when trekking using applications like Nokia GPS data you can set your target destination to the saved Landmark and navigate to the position you read off the map.
Landmarks in the device Landmark store saved by other applications can be viewed in the different coordinate types supported by UTM data.
This is a beta release so may contain bugs. I have used this application with Nokia E90 and N95 with the internal GPS, and earlier versions with Nokia E61 using an external Bluetooth GPS accessory.

GPXBrowser helps geocachers with paperless caching
This program helps geocachers with paperless caching. You can use pocket queries created by geocaching.com or create gpx file with some other application like GSAK.
Note!
This program reads only GPX files which have exact format of geocaching.com pocket queries.
You have to be premium member of geogaching.com, to create pocket queries.
This program is slow!
If you have more than 100 caches in your gpx file, then program will be pretty slow when searching caches. However there is no known limit to number of caches in gpx file.
Features:
You can search caches by GC code, part of cache name, caches that have Travel bugs, or nearest caches from your given coordinates. Program shows almost all information stored in gpx file.
-All basic cache information
-5 Last logs + your own log entry.
-Travel bugs
-Secret hints
-Full description.
Program doesn’t show pictures or html links.
On 3rd phones you can transfer cache coordinates to phone landmarks.
