Directional GPS


  • Programming
  • iPhone
October 9, 2008 - 3:17pm

The iPhone 2.1 update also appears to have updated Core Location to track speed and direction…

<+30.43312668, -97.76630400> +/- 47.42m (speed 12.59 kph / course 176.00) @ 2008-10-09 14:16:35 -0500

Problem: the iPhone above is stationary. Smiling I suspect it’s a consequence of GPS getting a better fix on the location as time goes by. Kind of neat, though. Gotta wonder what apps will come from that…

Or, rather, what I can do with that. Smiling
