BlueGPS for J2ME - Beta Screen Shot

This doesn't seem like a big deal, but let me mention how hard I've slaved to get the J2ME version of BlueGPS up and running. Let me also say this task would have been 10 times harder without Benhui's Bluelet library. At any rate, I just wanted to post a preliminary screen here.....it's completely ugly, but serves as a proof of concept. I will get around to the UI soon.

I already have a few users interested in functionality such as being able to specify a remote URL to post GPS data to. The other is the ability to create a timer to allow the app to upload GPS data in regular intervals. I think these are two features that need to be implemented before I release the initial beta version. I'm hoping to get it done this weekend but we'll see. Check out the screen below and please post any suggestions you may have. I can't tell you how excited I am to have this in Java and not have to deal with maintaining the Symbian version.

Nice job!
Maybe basic navigating could be incorporated? Like a basic directional arrow after entering a waypoint of destination?
I can't wait to test this little gem.
