Overview

HotSpot Navigator is a navigation software for your J2ME-enabled mobile phone. It can connect to an internal GPS receiver to acquire current position and navigate to one of known hot spot from the internal database. HotSpot Navigator shows map, current position, speed, course, and distance to landmark in navigation mode.

While software under testing you can download free trial version and use it till 1st of August 2011, after this you should buy registered version or download a new trial version if it will available.

We have a nice feature now. It can download access points from FON community and save like a landmarks.Official FON community site, Maps with FON WiFi locations

Now I use this application with Barbelo application that writes kismet-like XML log files while I'm walking through the city. After walking/driving run "parse barbelo log files" from HotSpot Navigator menu for transfer information about founded access points in to the internal database.

Download and install barbelo and gpsd on your smart phone from barbelo website.
