I recently came across yet another mapping application for my S60 v3... and yet again it falls short, it can not use the internal GPS.

This time the application was Webraska, who it seems have partnered with Orange in the UK - download via their site.

http://www.webraska.com/

Why have the likes of webraska and tomtom not created a patch, or even a third party develop a patch to include the internal GPS when searching for external bluetooth devices... I am sure this is achievable without a great deal of effort, unfortunately, I am not a developer!

They will get around to it - if the demand is there. Rather I would ask why the hardware developers aren't ensuring that new features are integrated into their products so as to minimise disruption. It can't be too difficult to have the built-in GPS to appear as a standard comms port to the operating system (Symbian) and thus prevent all these frustrations.

A patch by a application vendor may or may not be practical - it depends on whether Nokia/Symbian release the interface specification to the developers.

However marketing may have decided it is better to get people who have the money to spend on these devices to spend just a little more on their 'locked-in' applications.
