Location, Location, Location... and FakeGPS

It’s no secret that I believe location based services via mobile devices will absolutely change life as we know it. This is one of those areas where the business models needed to make LBS mainstream with every consumer out there are moving a lot slower than the technology itself. As a developer, you don’t have to wait on the rest of the world to catch up. If you are not using Live Search Mobile on your Windows Mobile phone, you need to check it out. This may be the most useful Windows Mobile app ever. Take a test drive to get your dev juices flowing.

 

Now that you are ready to build something on your own, the FakeGPS tool in the Windows mobile SDK is a great way to get started. My colleague, Rob Cameron, just posted an good article on the topic…check it out!
