Thanks! But please don't take any chances that might get you in trouble (though I can assure you that I will not betray your confidence).

As it happens, I've done a lot of thinking about this topic in the past couple of days and started a project to see how/if it might work (though my focus has changed a little...I'll PM you with details). It's taking a little time to learn Embedded C++, but I just found an SDK that moved things way ahead.

Actually, I've found that the combination of WAAS and an app I use that does an incredible job of data averaging puts your location reliably within 1 meter. The only problem is that being so calculation-intensive, even my 2215's 400Mhz processor is tapped and has a hard time doing much else (ie, gathering wifi signal data).

I'm pretty excited about this project...I'll let you know more soon.
