@WhereAmI: Quoting from their webpage "Tracks your current location by 
talking to bluetooth GPS device. Or in-built gps inside the phone (S60 
3rd edition requires open signed online or developer certificate 
signing)" - Does your setup qualify here? You need a certified 
application to be able to talk to the builtin GPS.

@Fix quality: This is just for information on the device. It doesn't 
change anything in the tracking. The track display is colored yellow if 
you have received only 4 or 5 satellites when recording that part of the 
track and is shown in green if above. I'm not sure about the exact 
number of satellites though.
