GPSPins for Smartphone - With GPSPins you can create custom GPS based pushpins for standalone use or with MS Pocket Streets. As a companion application to Pocket Streets, GPSPins provides access to pushpin latitude and longitude information and the ability to create pushpins for locations ( such as off-road waypoints ) that cannot be pinned through Pocket Streets. As a standalone application GPSPins can create pushpins directly from Bluetooth GPS devices or from importing popular waypoint file formats. With a mobile data plan, pushpins can also be mapped using Yahoo! Map's online mapping service.
