A couple of screenshots showing tangoGPS in action:
tangoGPS on the Neo1973
Runnning live on the phone, we can turn our Neos into a cool GPS device

In fullscreen mode
Making best use of the screen.
The slider shows the current zoom level. Each zoom level is twice the
scale from the next one. Autocenter lets the map follow your movements.
In normal mode
The map can smoothly be dragged around,
zoomed in and out and centered on current gps-position.
You can see speed, heading, trip length,
number of visible and used satellites
Menu Entry
tangoGPS comes with a nice icon and
can be started from the apps menu.
Satellite data and trip meter
tangoGPS features a mileage counter with maximum and average speed and
shows GPS data with latitude, longitude, heading etc.
Friend Finder
tangoGPS comes now with a friend finder function,
letting you easily figure out the locations of others
Context Menu
Lets you find friends, figure out distance from your
current location or lets you set your position manually, i.e.
when you have no gps
Register you Nick
I you want you can register your nick so only you can use it.
Config of repositories and gpsd
You can use any gpsd on the net. If you have a data
flat-rate, you can connect to another Neo's gpsd. Or you can replay
your logfiles from your desktop PC!
tangoGPS on the GNOME desktop
Currently the UI is adapted for the Neo, but I'm working on an adapted ui-design for desktop / laptop use.
