Latest Navizon for iPhone Keeps You Located Constantly
Apple may have added new triangulation-based geographic positioning in the iPhone 1.1.3 upgrade, but Navizon keeps upgrading theirs, now with background updates that will keep your buddies constantly updated about your whereabouts. It will also keep track of buddies even if the app is not open, warning you when someone is near you. This is exactly why we need third-party developers, and I can't wait for Apple to release the SDK later this month. [übergizmo]

Cool. Now, I can be out and about with my girl-friend and getting a warning if my wife is close by.
Awesome!

I tried it and it was good while it was free.

Very cool. Add 3G + real GPS and I'm sold on Apple.

Wow. That's incredibly hot, especially the airport alert idea. As soon as 3G and the SDK spring I'll cop myself an IPhone.

Still don't like it.

"warning you when someone is near you." Hey this could be a boon for those under court orders: "Johnny, the judge said that you have to stay 200 metres away at all times!" "Buy me an iPhone with Navizon, and I will!"

Too bad Navizon consistently gives me coordinates that are literally miles off of where I am, compared to both Google and "Locate Me" which both get me within a few hundred yards.
Dearhaw
is this a DARPA application or something developed for Homeland Paranoia?

What is amazing is the amount of work that goes into working around the fact that the iPhone doesn't have a GPS receiver (which they can put into a watch now).

Mmmmm, slidey goodness.
