Trekbuddy is a J2ME application to be used with a GPS receiver. It is designed to work with every Java-enabled device.

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

It features capabilities such as
GPS tracking and simple navigation
bitmap maps (without zoom, you can store bitmap maps with different resolution instead)
arrange maps as atlas for increasing and decreasing resolution
trackloging in NMEA or GPX format
simple navigation (to a single waypoint or along a route)
compas screen (HPS)
cockpit screen (CMS)
location sharing via SMS with other trekbuddies
and more.

It supports most commonly used map projections and grids, such as
Latitude/Longitude
Mercator
Transverse Mercator
Universal Transverse Mercator
Swedish Grid
British National Grid
Irish Grid
Swiss Grid
Lambert France I-IV
as well as custom datums.

Changelog v0.9.77
- keep-alive option for Bluetooth (dangerous - use only when needed!)
- periodic gpx tracklog flush
- Lambert Conformal Conic projection supported (useful for S-JTSK approximation)
- Rijksdriehoeksmeting datum added to defaults
- fixed: NMEA correlations bug that caused altitude missing sometimes
- support for running TB with Esmertec Jbed (and perhaps Intent Midlet Manager) on WM


The minimum requirements are
CLDC 1.1, MIDP 2.0

In order to get position info, the phone should either
have internal GPS and support Location API (JSR-179), or
have bluetooth and support Bluetooth API (JSR-82), or
have serial/USB/IrDa port and support CommConnection
