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

http://www.ipmart-forum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=359775&stc=1&d=1201185142

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
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.

As a location source

bluetooth or serial port GPS
internal (integrated) GPS
NMEA file
O2 Germany network

may be used.

Localization

TrekBuddy will speak your language if you download language.res file from wiki (http://wiki.trekbuddy.net/index.php/Localization) and put it to "resources" TrekBuddy folder. If your language is missing, or you are not satisfied with available translation, and you can work with command line a bit, PM me.

Trail

Visible trail on map screen is a new feature of this version. The trail point selection algorithm is designed to detect points where heading changes significantly. Big thanks to yearling for thickness calculation algorithm.

Setup (line thickness and color) is a bit tricky on some devices. In general, use LEFT-RIGHT key/joystick to change color/thickness. To switch "mode" (ie. what you setting up), use Mode command.
* on SE phones, the config item is the first in Settings->Desktop; and you should use non-gaming key - like key 3 etc - to change the "mode"
* on other devices the item it the last in Settings->Desktop
* on qwerty Blackberries, use ALT+trackball and for "mode"change use ALT+numbers (eg. 3).
* on touchscreen, touch in the middle of the item to change the "mode"
