Re: Getting GPS coordinates

Well you could obtain coordinates for your own phone but of course other users would not be able to access their own GPS receivers without also installing PAMP. I guess this would be okay for development work but would not be practical for widescale distribution until WidSets supports the Location API (anyone at WidSets got a timescale on this?).

Essentially I guess you would set your phone up as a web server using PAMP (follow instructions on their Wiki), then create a simple PHP script to obtain the phone's position. You could then access this script using the standard HTTP service on WidSets.

UPDATE: looking through your post on Forum Nokia I guess you've already figured all this out. I guess you specfically have problems with signing the PAMP application (can be a confusing and tricky process on S60).
