This latest GPS application and signal module is brought to you by http://iphone-gps.blogspot.com and Simba. The software that is used to interact with the module is written by Simba. You can visit his blog here. Note that this software is still beta, but Simba will in the meantime be overhauling/updating the code with new features, e.g. a GPS daemon, continuous location updates in the Maps app, choice of distance units in km/miles, etc.
