    GPS Spot is a simple tool to keep the GPS alive and indicate whether you have a GPS signal or not, without having to fire up larger apps, like TomTom.

    Its build to work on my Xda Orbit. Would like to know if it works on anyone else orbit or any other device.

    Install: just unzip and run from a directory.

    Instructions:
    The app will minimise to the tray when you press ok or top-right X.
    Tray icon changes colour dependingo n the gps status
    Red mean no satellite data
    Yellow means between 1 and 3 satellites (2D fix)
    Green means 4 or more satellites (3D fix)

    Exit the program using the exit menu or kill the process.

    You can also download it from my webserver:
    gps.kicks-ass.net/gps_buddy/GPSSpot.asp

    Have fun.

    Sean

    Don't all GPS-enabled WM5/6 devices have a built-in utility that'll do all this for you?

    Really.
    The HTC p3600 ("sister" of the p3300/Orbit) has a basic GPS utility that comes alive after you tweak the registry.
    The Eten X500 has one as well.
    Thought most WM/WM6 GPS-enabled devices would be similar.
