With GPSPins you can create custom GPS based pushpins for standalone use or with MS Pocket Streets. As a companion application to Pocket Streets, GPSPins provides access to pushpin latitude and longitude information and the ability to create pushpins for locations ( such as off-road waypoints ) that cannot be pinned through Pocket Streets. As a standalone application GPSPins can create pushpins directly from Bluetooth GPS devices or from importing popular waypoint file formats. With a mobile data plan, pushpins can also be mapped using Yahoo! Map's online mapping service.
GPS features:
- Scan for Bluetooth devices and auto configure GPS devices without Pocket Streets
- Create pushpins of a current location by continuous readings from a GPS device
- "Locate Me" feature reads live GPS coordinates and displays current location on map tiles downloaded live from Yahoo! Maps Web services
