X-wing Themed GPS AppCellphone GPS navigation is nothing new but it is admittedly awesome.  Carry around a pocket-sized device that makes calls, checks the internet and emails and tell you to make a left on James A. Musto bypass?  Nerdy, cool, but can it be moreso?  Hell yeah, so long as you don’t need certain things like the actual turn-by-turn part, a map and other visuals.  All you need are two words, STAR WARS.

Flash developer Christopher Caleb feels the same way so he used Adobe Air for Android to create the X-Wing targeting computer GPS app you see here.  As mentioned (and can be seen in the video included after the break) this particular GPS “navigation” app kinda needs you to sort of already know how to get where you’re going … BUT, when you’re going there you can watch the targeting lines converge and see your distance count down in your approach vector.  While driving you’ll hear Rebel Alliance chatter as Rogue Squadron checks in and counts the number of turbo laser towers, just be sure to keep an eye on your six for Vader.
