December 16, 2007

Some clever guys over at the part foundry have developed a GPS module for the Apple iPhone.

The unit doesn’t look to pretty at the moment, but I am sure it will look good when it goes into production.

They have got it working with Google Maps at the moment, check out this video of it in action.

What is interesting is that the module will be open source when it goes on sale, which means that anyone can develop a GPS application to run with it.

You will need an unlocked iPhone at the moment to run it, this is a very interesting development it would be so handy to have GPS on the iPhone.
