Gnuite, thanks for the prompt and informative reply. Short answer: It works!!

I figured that I had to 'trick' the internal GPS into thinking it was being used, and initially used the map app, but as Chelli pointed out, I was also able do this by going to the control panel and checking the GPS location; then I just left the window open. BTW Chelli, thanks for the clarification; most helpful for that last little bit!

Then, in MM settings, I followed your instructions for connecting to GPSD and it worked just the way you planned it (right?)! I found my location and zoomed in, then watched in amazement as it actually tracked my path around my house! And I have a very small house I have no idea why this might be useful, but dang, I think it's just amazing that it does.

A word of thanks is in order, sir, for this wonderful application.

AWESOME!!

You deserve more than a single word; you have earned high praise for this elegant implementation of a seriously useful and customizable tool. In sharp The integration of multiple maps, POIs, route planning and tracking is simple, intuitive and quite polished, given the serious constraints of coding for the tablet.

Especially when you don't have one. Sorry about that.

Understand though, that my feelings of guilt are in some way assuaged by the knowledge that you will soon have one and that you will not only make far better use of it than I, but I'll be the beneficiary of your efforts.

In other words, thanks again.
