As some of you might already  know, GPSed mobile application is available for iPhone, BlackBerry, J2Me and Windows Mobile smartphones. Among all these GPSed versions the one for iPhone is the latest. Nevertheless, our developers are working on it and implementing more and more features in each release.

The newest version includes a huge update which is certainly worth your attention!

New features include:

GPSed is fully compatible with 3.0 OS and successfully tested on newest iPhone 3GS!

  • Photo attaching directly from the application.
  • New stylish user interface.
  • Convenient dialog for posting to social networks like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and Blogger.
  • Speed bug fix. In the previous versions a speed bug occurred: when the speed was more than 36 km/h the current speed was shown as zero. Now with GPSed for iPhone v. 1.4 you will know the correct speed of your trip.
  • Many other fixes and improvements.

How to attach photos to the track?

When you want to take a photo press the “camera” button in the right upper corner of GPSed application. Then press “Add Photo” button and follow the next instructions.

When the photo is taken you should confirm if you want to use this photo for your track or you’d like to retake it. All taken photos will be pinned to a map precisely at a place they were taken.

Download link in App Store remained the same. All registered users could upgrade to the newest version for free.

And the last good news from GPSed Team. The price of GPSed for iPhone is now $0.99 instead of $1.99. Hurry up to get an application for the lower price!

Please leave your comments here, we are looking forward to hearing from you.
