I have a Blackberry Curve with a built-in GPS receiver but our corporate policy blocks the user of the Blackberry Maps application and stop me installing other apps. Can I use the GPS receiver functionality in the Blackberry from my laptop with a suitable mapping program or perhaps MS Autoroute?

How does a GPS system use Lorentz transformations for its functionality?

From what I understand, Lorentz transformations can determine the dilation of time with relative speed. (Of course I could be wrong). How does the GPS use this to function?

Is there an application for Google Android that tracks GPS locations online?

I am going to be out of town for Christmas and I want to surprise my girlfriend by driving back home. I am interested in an application that will post my GPS location and path online, so that I can map them on my web server for her to see.

I looked but I can’t find any application that seems to have this functionality.
