Did any one of you try doing this before???
Any help will be highly appreciated.

I'm also be very interested
But it looks like there's no chance for it without a 3rd party app...
Have a look at http://www.gpsmeter.com/index.php?page=portsplitter or consider Fransons GPS ate - Mike
Looks Interesting....may be possible....
thanks for the link friend,,,,,,that's a good link you pointed out, i have seen port splitter before it comes as an addon with GPS tuner software....i tried a trial version of it....but havent used it....will try using it....and post my findings...mean while lets see if any one else has a different opinion.

Hi all .. .. .. ..
Can anyone here plzz tell me if they are using GPS on VOX in India ?
if yes then which bluetooth GPS do u use .. and wat software do u use ?
THANKS IN ADVANCE ..eagerly waiting for ur replys
gps works around the world, u just need map for the country
im not sure if there is a map for india, i use tomtom, and there is no map of india on tomtom website or any other place,
Usually all gps mice with a surfstarIII chip should be pretty good. But as harrysaab said you still need a software with maps for india.
Yeah I use GPS in India
Bluetooth GPS model Holux M-1000B
which has more sensitivity than sirf star III chip.
and awesome 22hour battery life (verified)
software I use is Efficasoft GPS utilities.
you can create your own maps in that.
you can also use destinator for smartphone for which you can buy the city maps (available with satnav)

1. i got the bluetooth gps from semsons in US
nice deals they have. Here its costly, around INR 5K or something.
2. yeah creating maps is easy but for limited area.
you just have to copy the map image from google maps or any other source and then locate 3 coordinates using GPS. thats it.
3. talking about cracks and warez is not allowed here.
check out SatNav's website for more info
check out mapmyindia too
their maps are said to be more accurate

Hi Prajith.... waiting 4 ur reply........
I use a GPS20C which is identical to the Freedom GPS keyfob unit. It takes a bit to get a signal from cold boot, however once it's up and running it's good. I use it with all my applications, WiFiFoFum, Garmin XT, Windows Live Search, Google Maps and Efficasoft GPS Utilities.
It was fairly cheap at around $80 shipped.
I currently have an eten m700 which I am very satisfied of, but the one thing that bugs me is the battery which is very weak and I`m getting kinda tired of it. I want to buy another pda or smartphone ( i also had a look at the blackberry bold) and I want a few suggestions. I want it to have phone, gps( i use igo a lot) wifi, BT, a good camera. Do you know what countries do the iphone maps or the blackberry maps have on their new terminals? And can these maps be used like i use igo.. ? thank you.

After owning a lot of Windows Mobile devices (Qtek 9100, Qtek S200 TyTn and Tytn II, Samsung SGH i600 and Samsung SGH i780 and Diamond Touch to name a few of them) I tried a Nokia E71 and wow what a smartphone - so stable and quick and the battery lasts for days. I don´t even miss the touchscreen. The camera is not very good, but at least as good on any camera in a Windows Mobile device except the Samsung Omina. So I can recommend it with all of my heart - will not be going back to Windows Mobile devices after using the Nokia for some weeks
is the gps usable on e71? i mean can i use it like igo on WM? and for what countries does it have maps?

Hello guys,
Unfortunatly 80% of internet tells HTC LEO (HTC HD2) will come out with android.
And 20% of internet tells it will come out with WMobile.
Unfortunately I think Wmobile is the truth. Bcuz preorders are showing an Wmobile interface on the pictures.
My question is, can we put android 1.5 or higher on these devices?
Peace
Fortunatly, it'll be WM
Hi, I don't know where you heard that HD2 will come out with Android but from the first beginning, it has always been clear that HD2 will be running WM.
Don't wanna troll, but I would say .... FORTUNATLY !!! Just to show people what a windows mobile 6.5 device with capacitive display and snapdragon processor can do !!
Thomas
The confusion may stem from....
the fact that the Snapdragon "platform" is going to be used for many devices, there are a few nice previews of 1ghz processor equipped Android phones out there.
http://www.mobilechoiceuk.com/News/Acer+announces+first+Android+Snapdragon+phone/4133
If you ask me its all good, the more they sell, the lower the unit cost, maybe we will see cheaper WM / Android on Snapdragon in the not too distant.
Also, the 1.5Ghz Snapdragon appears to be in the pipeline too.... cant wait.
MS
Where
I really wasn`t joking guys, maybe I get other links than you in Netherlands.
But most sites still claim its android build.
Anyways, I aint got nothing against WMobile.
I just want to know if there are already people trying to port it.
Thanks in advance.
Peace

Htc hd2 - gps
Hi,
Does anyone know what kind of GPS the HTC HD2 has (gps-enabled processor with internal antena or gps-enabled processor with a-gps support) and if it is capable of running software applications like iGo, Navigon or TomTom?
Yes, it is pretty confusing, but correct me if I'm wrong:
1. When reading specs of a cell phone and says it has/supports "A-GPS", I assume that that phone has a gps-capable processor but locking onto satellites it is being done through the Internet connection (it probably connects to a site that will tell the phone the position of the satellites) and it does not have a dedicated "com" port and "baud" rate. The navigation applications are simple and cheap (mostly based on Google maps). A good example would be the iPhone that has A-GPS only. A dedicated navigation software such as iGo or Navigon (even Tomtom) would search for a "com" port and "baud" rate so it won't work with A-GPS-enabled phones.
2. When the specs. of a phone says Internal GPS or Dedicated GPS, I assume that that phone not only has a gps-enabled processor (like above) but also has an internal antena that will help the device to lock onto satellites without Internet support (a-gps). A dedicated navigation software (iGo, Navigon, Tomtom) will work on this device because it has a "com" port and "baude" rate required for those applications to run. So, if you are in the desert, you don't have cell phone signal but enough battery, the gps will guide you out of there. Shortly put, with GPS enabled phones (not A-GPS or Q-GPS, etc) you don't rely on Internet or network signal (signal triangulation) and you can run professional navigation softwares.
So, what kind of GPS the HTC HD2 has?
I have read that this replaces the Thoth 100 but PDADB.NET still shows the THOTH coming out this quarter. Is the THOTH still alive as a separate device?
The HD2 should have a real GPS chip. as in Internal Antenna. Will take a heck of a time to lock to the satellites, tough, 10 minutes at first run. That's why A-GPS is useful (Quick GPS).
Well Said. WM forever!

Well said Thomas! Also to all others, the best thing about any windows mobile is that you can always see and check what is happening in the background or what the CAB's contents are (meaning super customisable), Android, i-phone and many others are data collecting freaks who wanna know what populations are thinking and doing. In my opinion, windows mobile Os is number 1 and always will be (check whats on ya pc.lol) second is Symbian Os! I'm sure all other mobile Os's appart from windows mobile has developed themselves using Symbian ideas!!
Does anyone know of any recommended WM software that performs a similar function to this software?

Thanks for that Karlos, appreciated. It is expensive isn't it! (15 Euros).
I'll give the trial a go and see if it works.

Hello,
If I understand you, you can find on MarketPlace this soft "EcoGyser".
It's Free.
You can find a french version here http://marketplace.windowsphone.com/details.aspx?appSKU=40255b28-3cb1-488f-b68b-a90c726a1b9f&retURL=/Default.aspx
It works fine on my HTC HD2.
google racechrono, its free, and simple. works fine on leo
sorry dont have the link
apparently its racechrono.com
www.racechrono.com
does all performance tests ( 0-60mph, 1/4 mile, ... all in metric too) based on gps, not accellerometer, so more accurate.
and did i mention its free?
Unfortunately none of those do HP though
