BlueGPS Beta Update

I apologize to those of you who are waiting for the beta version of BlueGPS. I meant to get it ready this weekend but didn't have time to get around to it. This afternoon I came down with a bug so it will probably this weekend before I can finish up.

BlueGPS now has the ability to post GPS data to the server at regular intervals. I'm going to make this user-configurable and have the ability to "Mark Current Location" for a single upload.

The UI will be extremely basic for beta purposes and I'll be working in the next couple of weeks to clean it up and make it look somewhat appealing. For now you will be able to upload data to my server and if enough people request it I will make this user-configurable as well. Most of the BlueGPS users are not developers so this functionality doesn't really appeal to them.

Another option it to expose the upload GPS data from a Web service for those interested in retrieving it. I'm not sure if I want to take this load so we'll see what happens. At any rate, i'll shoot a link out this weekend for those of you interested in the Java version of BlueGPS.
