ExtGPS is a free app that lets you use your GPS-equipped phone as an external GPS device.
Why would you want to do that, you ask? Well, although there are a lot of new apps for Symbian mobiles that let you take advantage of GPS, these are quite limited in functionality compared to the heavy-duty Geographical Information Systems available for the PC and Mac.
The trouble is - PCs and Macs tend not to come with GPS as standard. If you already have GPS on your expensive new smartphone, having to buy another little black box so you can use it with your laptop is a real kick in the teeth.
Enter ExtGPS . Run it on your Nokia N95, N81, E90 or 6110 phone and your PC or Mac can use your phone’s GPS functions via a Bluetooth connection - leaving you with the cash to actually buy one of those expensive GIS systems.
