GPS for iPhone; this time it is real
Dec 17, 2007 gps navigation, phones
People at partfoundry were able to design a GPS module for the iPhone, ready to be shipped in February for only $89. However you’ll need one of those jail broken (hacked in order to allow 3rd party applications) iPhones.
There’ve been many rumors for getting GPS functionality on the iPhone, some of them fake, some don’t even require GPS, and some with embedded A-GPS.
The one we have today uses a real GPS receiver chip and can send this data to Google Maps to get driving and directions and possibly allow for other location based services. The code for the application will be open source allowing users to improve the code to benefit the whole community.
There’s also a video of the prototype on Youtube:
