Right; bit of a noob here so please bear with me. I have searched through the Db and cannot find exactly what I’m looking for ATM.

A few years ago I used a seriously cool piece of GPS software called BlueSky on my Nokia 6600. Not only did it have a full screen GPS speedo (analogue and digital) but equally as important it had real-time tracking software too. This would show average speed, max speed, total distance, total moving & stopped times etc, and was very useful for cataloguing a journey.

As my 6600 was getting long-in-the-tooth I decided to eBay it and opted for a PDA running TomTom instead. My regular long-distance journeys were replaced by much shorter ones and I didn’t feel the need for this app any more. Unfortunately when I once again decided to use this app I discovered the company no longer supported it (very annoying as I had paid for a lifetime support when I purchased it) and I cannot find any other app to run on a PDA (actually an O2 XDA) or Symbian phone that will do the job easily. Also the speed reading on the TomTom is so small it is nigh on impossible to read safely when travelling fast.

Before I found BlueSky I borrowed a friends Garmin Legend and that is exactly what I am looking for but in the form of an app I can install on my XDA or preferable onto a Symbian phone.
