GPS iPhone - POC Part 5
Been busy at work so wasn’t able to invest as much time today on the app as I was the past 2, however. I did get past the point that I wanted to reach by tonight. I had Jeff and Josh help look at the code. Maybe, I should just name it JGPS or JPS, since so far most of the people that have helped have names that start with J. Either way it’s almost ready for a public beta, I really need to get a bigger database of data, I have asked the administrators at Wigle.net for assistance with using their database, but haven’t heard anything yet.
Anyways, the app does look ups of the MAC addresses that are around it. Which is what I wanted to do. The next step after this is to make it not open Safari first, this would work already if the ? in the url didn’t get changed to the hex value. But whatever, I’ll try to find a way to call the Maps.app directly with the GPS coordinates. If I can’t figure that out, it’s not a big deal and I can let the community figure it out.
After I get the MAC lookup how I want, I’ll add the cell tower lookup. I’ll try to add that on the weekend or Monday. But don’t promise anything. Anyways, the app is at the state I wanted, the app looks like an official app or at least an unofficial 3rd party app, and I hope after I finish it that people will want to use it. No screen shots or anything tonight, as the only difference in the app is the code, nothing cosmetic has changed. Anyways, I need to sleep.
