If you look back a little in the thread you'll see I just figured out that the code I use to read the GPS is actually misreporting the accuracy by a factor of 10.

Seems like an awful duplication of effort, and it's a pain when I want to use a latitude client to view my friends (which then wants to update my location) whilst zaploc's also trying to update my location, etc....that's all.
Nice thought. While the code has some small level of modularity to it, it is really only on the level of adding an additional service to it shuold be "not super hard".

But the code isn't really made to be pretty, reusable, or shiny... just to work
