title: Using data from Google Maps in a C# Program for Windows Mobile
body: <p>I'm making a charity Windows Mobile 6 app in C# to help those affected by Alzheimer's.</p>
  
  <p>The aim is for this app to let the carer set a boundary by tapping in Google maps to set points. The carer would then put the windows mobile device in the patient's hand bag or coat, so that when the patient walks out on their own, thinking that they are "going home", the carer receives an SMS text with their position, heading and speed.</p>
  
  <p>However, I don't know how to...</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Switch from app to google maps for mobile</li>
  <li>tap to select points</li>
  <li>import the coordinates of that point to my C# program</li>
  <li>use the coordinates to Calculate the boundary</li>
  <li>Send the text with the position information</li>
  <li>Switch back to my C# program</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>HTC's HD2 comes with a compass that uses this "tap to select a point then return to app" functionality, so surely it's possible for us too?</p>
  
  <p>If anyone would be able to give me a hand my out I would be EXTREMELY grateful as this will help all those affected by Alzheimer's and other similar conditions. My Gran, for example, recently started trying to walk back to the property she lived in 20 years ago...</p>
  
  <p>Thanks everyone! This means sooo much! I'll even come and buy you a drink to say thanks!</p>
