Revision as of 22:26, 24 November 2008

The last time I used the internet with a mobile phone was the day I bought my very first one, 6 years ago, when I accidentally hit the "internet" button. Now your tool made me dig up the user manual and try it again. And it works! Hooray! Now I'm prepared for the Christmas Holidays far from my computer. Thank you very much for this tool, it's just what I needed. And it even shows the globalhash!

The only thing I did not get to work was the google map (no image, only the things in the left and top part of the page), but that may be my own ineptitude. I'll try again. If it doesn't work, I will have to make printouts of every place I go to and draw a coordinate grid into them ;-)

Me neither. That's why "Find an online map service that works on my phone" is still a ToDo, and why I made the google map link optional, as there's no use in carrying useless links.
For my surroundings I have 1:50.000 topographic paper maps which carry an UTM grid. Using a "Geodreieck" (whatever that's in english ;) ) it's possible to position quite accurate down to half a millimetre on the map if you have UTM coordinates available. Do you have maps with any kind of defined grid? I guess the largest difficulty to add an UTM mode would be to find the conversion algorithm for WGS84 -> UTM...
