EnyTrip
Developer: netvandal
Category: Location & Navigation
Beginner: No
Platform: Harmattan

Application Description:
EnYTrip ( Enrich Your Trip ) is a simple but quite innovative location based application.
With EnyTrip, specifying a starting point and a destination, you can check your way as most route planner do, but also the app will show you interesting place along your way!

So if you have to go somewhere that is a few hours drive from you can now easily find some place to visit to break your long trip and have some fun!

Most of location based app show what is near you, but I prefer chose in advance what’s good is on my way.

EnYTrip show you some photo of the place, give you a nice link to Wikipedia, and also you can open your Map and Drive App to get to that place easily.

Enjoy your next trip!
I designed and implemented the whole app, now it use Google services, a version with Nokia MH5 Framework is in development.

meeTrainer
Developer: paoletto
Category: Location & Navigation
Beginner: YES
Platform: Harmattan

Application Description:
meeTrainer is a sport-assistance application that allows to easily monitor, record and review sporting activities, as well as exporting the recorded data.

By making use of the internal gps receiver it records the position as well as the altitude and speed during the exercise, while also live feeding it to a monitor screen, that can be kept on during the training.

meeTrainer also supports bluetooth HRM chest belts (so far only those from Polar and SportsTracker) as data source, and can combine heart rate information and caloric consumption together with the gps data.

meeTrainer has been created with the specific purpose of providing accurate training data, and therefore it also includes gps data filtering, as the N9 gps receiver seems to provide somewhat noisy data.

meeTrainer also includes effective reviewing functionalities, providing monthly aggregates and charting of the recorded data.

I started meeTrainer because of the lack of alternatives for Harmattan: the only free alternative is, at the present, the app developed by SportsTracker, which, unfortunately, seems willing to cease the support for MeeGo.

For this reasons i believe that initiating a free alternative to sportstracker was a need, and i believe that in a very short time meeTrainer already attracted quite some interest from many N9 users that, like me, want to monitor their workouts but simply cant do it in a proper way right now.

Platform: Harmattan

Application Description:
I created Next BART, for the Nokia N9. It’s a Convenient on-the-go Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) app for daily commuters in the San Francisco Bay Area. This is my first application and it took the summer to built. I created nextbart.info earlier this year and decided to make an app. This is my first mobile app and it includes a lot of fundamentals that an app may include, such as: favorites (local storage), custom drop down menu, GPS for find the nearest station, loaders, and a nice user interface, plus animation, and much more Qt things. Here is the list of main features:

-Live station/trip departure times
-Nearest Station via GPS
-Detailed Route/Trip Information
-Advisories
-Smart Favorites
-System Map
