Hi,

I'm very new to Windows mobile and it's my first post here, so please be kind if I overlooked something :)

I'm looking for a program which can execute actions based on the current location, preferably external/MortScript files. E.g. when I'm home I want the phone to turn on Wi-Fi, download GPS locations, weather info, mails automatically, and otherwise keep Wi-Fi turned off. When I'm at gym, I want to set the phone to vibrate, etc. I think my intention's clear.

If this program could differentiate btw. a computer-connection and car-charging cable, etc. it would be even better (I believe this could also be achieved by MortScript).

Is there any such program?

TIA

I've been looking all day for such a program and found PocketZenPhone (http://www.pocketzenphone.net/PZPForum/index.php). With the so-called CellID based switches, it can automatically switch the profile, i.e. change sounds, turn on/off Wi-Fi and such, block unknown callers, etc.

I have yet to test it thoroughly, but it looks so far fantastic. If it only could execute programs (such as Tomtom on car, update weather at home, etc) it would be awesome; maybe it's a feature I couldn't find yet.

I think PhoneAlarm (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html) has at least the functionality of applying profiles based on the geographic location of the device. Never used it myself though.

I can confirm that PhoneAlarm works like a charm with different profiles.

Thanks for the replies guys :) PhoneAlarm looks as promising as PZP, if not better (but also more expensive).
