This is an unlimited demo version. However without license key, each 90 minutes you have to restart the application and you have an extra popup at startup.

You can buy a license key (full version) for € 4.99 (about $7) at www.funrungames.com/getnavfunpro

On my i776 NavFunPro installed OK and gets a fix quickly but after a couple of minutes it complains "location signal lost" and locks up tight.  arnold040 says it works pretty well on his i580 although he gets the "location signal lost" message occasionally.

Some users have reported stability issues with the current 3.0 version of HoneyLocation. I haven't experienced any crashes myself but BoostApps reader Clark had it crash several times with an Unhandled Exception error on his i580. He found this older 2.1 version 2.1. So if you're having trouble with 3.0 try this one.  Features seem identical.

Honey Location uses the phone's GPS or nearest cell tower location if GPS is unavailable.  It lets you track  your phone and your friend's phones on a PC or view your location on a map on the phone.  Before you can use it you have to register at honeylocation.com. Registration is free.

This is a  GPS  tracking app that lets you view your location on a map on bliin's desktop or mobile web sites and share it with friends who are bliin members.

There is no map on the phone and no other features like messaging in the app. It's a lightweight GPS beacon app that sends you location to the web every 3 seconds by default although you can change the interval to 15 seconds, 15 minutes or manually.

I haven't tested this extensively but it looks like it stays running in the background and updating your location when you suspend it by pressing the red hangup key twice or closing the flip on the flip phones.  You do need to register on the bliin site to use the tracker but only an email address is required

Here's another free GPS app that works with Motorola iDEN. Honey Location lets you track  your phone and your friend's phones on a PC or view your location on a map on the phone. It seems to get a fix quite quickly using cell tower location to show your approximate location if GPS isn't available like indoors.  Free registration required at honeylocation.com

Publisher's description: "Honey Location is a FREE mobile application for tracking locations. Works on all cell phones. Want to spy? Want to see the length of a journey or max speed? Not a problem anymore. Log in and watch honey’s locations on Google maps. Export your routes to Google Earth (KML file). Take picture using cell phone and show it immediately your friends. Share your locations, be visible, follow your friends."

If this version crashes on your phone, try version 2.1.

Keys:
Call = OK, select
Right softkey = left softkey action

Several people have requested an app that can track your phone on a map. Boostapps reader Clark recommended Instamapper which works perfectly. It runs in the background on the phone and you can view where the phone is  and where it's been on a Google Map by visiting instamapper.com (free registration required)  with a PC browser, Bolt or Opera Mini. (Bolt seems to do a better job with the Instamapper site than Opera.)

The version posted here was designed specifically for iDEN phones and gets a GPS fix very quickly (under 30 seconds outdoors) on my i776.
