Just released version 0.81 of BBTrackr. It now has a Settings screen that allows you to set the intervals at which OpenCell updates occur as well as FireEagle updates. It also allows you to turn on AutoStart for both features (this just turns the tracking on when you launch BBTrackr).
Also a Google Map is embedded showing your location (based on either cell or GPS). Just thought it be neat to see where BBTrackr thinks you are.
I haven’t had time to do anything more than a few tests so please let me know if anything doesn’t work right. Also please let me know your ‘wish list’ for additional features.

After releasing BBTrackr yesterday it became apparent that it didn’t work on all phones. Basically the issue was that it did not work on CDMA phones (Verizon and Sprint in the US). A new version has been releases that does ‘work’ on CDMA phones. However the ability to update the OpenCellID database is not functional as that database only works on GSM/GPRS phones (still verifying that). You should be able to use the feature to update your FireEagle account just fine.
Since I don’t have a CDMA phone I could only test with a simulator so I’d appreciate it if someone with a CDMA phone could let me know how things go.
 The new version can be downloaded here.

bbtrackr Blackberry fireagle GPSI’ve made a simple application call BBTrackr. It is currently in beta.
The application has two main features:
1) It uses both your phones GPS (or GPS Puck) as well as cell phone data to contribute to OpenCellID.org. The OpenCellID project collects cell/location information sot htat location aware applications can be built for cell phones that do NOT have a GPS device.
2) The location information received from either the GPS or OpenCellID can be used to update FireEagle. FireEagle is a location based service that allows numerous web application to know your current location so that they can provide you accurate and useful information.
Both of these features are just a tease for some of the features we are planning for the upcoming BlackBerry Application for our site, theSUGGESTR.com. In the meantime support the OpenCellID project by downloading and running BBTrackr today.
