itunes.apple.com

I posted the paid version a month or so ago, and a lot of HN folks downloaded it, so I thought I'd post the Lite version too.

A download would be much appreciated, and a rating or review would be doubly appreciated: https://userpub.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZUserPublishing...

Thanks for all your support everyone! For those of you with Gaia GPS, 2.0 is coming out soon, and includes GPX imports among other stuff.

Here's a link to our website too: http://www.gaiagps.com

Sockpuppet ?

Just a friend on IM. A bit overzealous :)

i was foolish enough to expect this would take me to a product page on apple.com

The thing is that there is no such thing as a product page on apple.com for anything that is sold on the iTMS. The itunes.apple.com/... should be a give-away by now.

No affilaition, but I just came across this app-store web gateway and thought I'd pass it along:

why does a gps recorder have "frequent/intense mature/suggestive themes" and require that i "must be at least 17 years old to download this application"?

andrewljohnson7• 17 years ago

As it turns out, if you have a webview in your app that gives access to like wikipedia or google, you have to have this rating.

We found this out the hard way when version 4 of our first app got rejected, after being accepted with the same stuff for several versions.

This looks like a nice GPS app. I am currently using instaMapper to record and display my GPS loc on my website http://www.instamapper.com/ext?key=8445164355070808348. I would like a really lightweight app to measure and upload my location to somewhere where I can plug the waypoints in to the google map API. Just a feature idea.

Give accuterra a shot.

Hi, the link tries to install some app on my (non-existent) iPhone. Is this the app?

http://appshopper.com/navigation/gaia-gps-lite

Based on the screenshot, my only nitpick would be that the colors on the compass are a bit too toned down. I would prefer a more colorful "N" at least.

Also, did any of the (hopefully) good ideas from http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=880814 help in any way?
