UltraNav & BlackBerry

[snow-back]

I know UltraNav doesn't make a BlackBerry application, but has anyone with software skills tried getting it to work on the BlackBerry platform?

They did make a version for Palm OS a few years ago, but it is no longer supported. I still searching for a Palm version of the Lear 35 performance. UltraNav refuses to give it up.

I have a friend of mine that is an expert programmer, and he and I have talked about this. It's time-consuming as it's not easy to strip the code from the WinX CD and port it for the BB, but it's doable. He's poking around with it as time allows. I suspect by the time we've got a working version, there will be a BB solution.

Thanks.

Running in any spring races?

Yep, pretty much have my spring schedule finalized. And you?

Yeah. Probably more than my wife's willing to tolerate! Trying to gear up for the WF100...if I can get in.

Happy trails.

WF100? WS?

I'm deciding on the VT100 based on my winter training and spring races.

I lived in SLC for a while so I've got a soft spot for the Wasatch Front. I'm living in SE Georgia now, so the problem is keeping the mileage up through the summer...that and finding a hill other than my treadmill within 150 miles. I think there's a 50K in S.C. somewhere in July (Big Butt 50 maybe), other than that, it's slim pickins.

I might try Vermont or Massanutten in 2008.

Utlra Nav is a pretty light application, if your friend has the skills the way to do it would be to make it in Java so that it will run natively on most handheld devices as well as a computer.
I believe the biggest problem is that it is written in C or C++ I forget, I talk to the guy who wrote it occasionally as we are having some changes built into the software for 135 compliance.

A BB port would be assume though!

Here's hoping.

Picture me drinking a beer.
