I agree with the other fellow who asked to have the timestamp added to the GPX file. Without timestamps, you can't georeference anything. Also would be nice to have an "Autosave" feature for the...

I wonder if it might be worthwhile to not do your own binding, but instead to simply read a /dev/rfcommX device, and let rfcomm do the binding for you?

The maps are downloaded straight from the map service. You'd have to edit the map colors by detecting colors. If they do anti-aliasing, that would be hard work.

I'd believe that:

gdouble fraction = running_total * sqrt(num_sats_used)

What if num_sats_used is zero?
