It is sort of annoying that you will charge $2 for the iPhone version and almost $10 for the Blackberry version. Why such a disparity when clearly one program is not 500% better than the other.

but when i drive 100 km/h he still gives a result between 10 and 20 km/h. and my max speed is not higher then 28 km/h. I setup the settings and selected metric. i know the results are not precise. but a difference from 80 km/h is very out of range i think?

Hi Wayne,
Normally GPS never gives very precise speed results. In our program we have a special algorithms which make track irregularities smoother. This could make influence on a speed accuracy. Generally other programs also do not show very accurate speed characteristics as the speed is usually not so precise for GPS devices.

Nice program, but i have problem with the speed. i have a iphone, but when i start the program and i drive the speed is not good. He displays the speed until 10 km/h but not higher and hangs. when i stop on the road i drive still 7 or 8 km/h .. when i try another program the speed dispays good. what is the problem?? Tried with version 1.6 and 1.8

I think that the GPSed app is a great idea, but the fact that the tracking stops as soon as the phone locks the screen makes it completely useless. My phon auto locks the screen after 5 minutes (this is controlled by Exchange thorugh the ActiveSync so i can´t turn that of). Some apps work around this by locking the screen themselves, have you considered this for GPSed?
