Default Car/motorbike 0-60mph GPS performance
Hey

I installed JFMStudios GPS Performance on my S710 but unfortunately it didn't run on it Said the .exe file couldn't be found or not all modules are available or something like that. Installation went smoothly and I checked the folder there PPCGPS.exe on Program Files/GPS Performance. Still no run.

Could it be because it's made for WM2003...? I have tried googling the web for similar apps but no luck.

Is there other such programs available and if someone has succesfully used JFMStudios' app on Vox please tell me how you did it.

Short description what JFMStudios GPS Performace does:
Quote:
GPS Performance is a must have application for people with performance cars interested in performance statistics. Using a regular GPS receiver and sophisticated alorythms, GPS Performance is able to accurately measure 1/4 mile dashes and 0..60 timings.

Default Not compatible
HTC Vox is not listed as a compatible device. Nor is any other smartphone as far as I can see, so your answer would be no, no chance of getting it to work.

Damn

I take it that there are no similar apps from other developers either?

Until you posted I had not even heard of this particular application. I have to wonder in any case how accurate such measures could be given the inherent lack of precision in the GPS positioning: small variations in the position data across such short timings would have a huge impact on the reported speed and acceleration data. In normal driving conditions i.e. standard navigation programs, any errors in speed are averaged out but for such an application it strikes me that you would not get much time for that. Still, it is an interesting idea.

Good luck in your search!
