Hi Erel,

I have to agree this package is now pretty awesome.

I'm not sure how you intend to work in additional features (and I'm happy to help out - though my coding style is well lets say linux command line hacking style :-) so its probably not good application code).

Here goes.

1) For UTM measurements it would be nice to include an option to have an option for 6 digit references (it currently displays 13 digit references). That way you can directly relate your current position to a typographical map, without having to drop the appropriate digits from the 13 digit reference (to get a 6 digit reference you drop the leading digit AND the last two digits from the easting - you drop the two leading digits AND the last two digits from the northing
2) A recording function so that you can track your location every x seconds (x definable) and then export it out in google earth kml format - I notice on another forum thread this library has recently become available (this is very handy for bush fire fighting to figure out quickly how big a fire actually was rather than guessing, by driving around it and get all the GPS points of the fire boundary).
3) A function like in gpslog to turn off the automatic backlight diming.

Cheers.
