Hi everyone
I was wondering if it's possible to use a WM GPS phone as an external bluetooth GPS device for another WM phone?
I just got a WM phone without GPS built in and before I buy an external GPS device, I'd like to test the navigation possibilities, using one of my other wm phones with built in GPS as a BT GPS device.
Thanks for your attention
Not possible? :-(

Hi,
Anybody successfully using their Polaris with Garmin Mobile XT and GPS 10x (a bluetooth GPS receiver)?
Are you able to use your bluetooth headset at the same time that the external GPS receiver is communicating with the PDA?
Thanks much
Umm.. just a curioity question.
Why to use Polaris AND Garmin? Having 2 GPS devices does not make sense to me...

No problem, here's my reasons. Let me know if you think otherwise.
Currently have Mobile XT & Garmin GPS 10x.
My version of Mobile XT will not recognise the internal GPS.
Since I love Mobile XT (UI and routing accuracy), have no choice for the moment but to use with Garmin bluetooth GPS 10x.
If I find another navigation app that is as good and will work with internal GPS, then I'll switch. Or if my GPS 10x dies, then perhaps I'll shell out another USD 99 to buy the version of Mobile XT that runs on flash card and works with internal GPS.
And I'm keen on the Polaris for all its features so it'll be a real bummer if mobile XT with GPS 10x doesn't work well on it.

Mine work with internal gps(cracked version).
Try to use Franson GpsGate - use Garmin output option via virtual COM port there - i think it will work

You'll be able to use Mobile XT with the internal GPS
Appreciate the replies! Actually my question is:
- Has anybody used the Touch Cruise with Mobile XT and GPS 10x via bluetooth?
and
- can you use your bluetooth headset at the same time with no major problems?
Guys, thanks for giving other useful information (good to know) but for the moment, the above are actually the answers I'm looking for.
Thanks much!
Hi all
First post here so apologies if this has already been asked and answered...I haven't been able to find it.
I've just upgraded my O2 Orbit 1 for an O2 Orbit 2 to gain the remote sim access profile (rsap) that my VW Passat's hands-free system needs.
I also have Tom Tom Navigator on my Orbit 2.
Here's the question:
when my phone's paired with the car, I have no problems making or taking calls but when I switch on the Sat Nav, while the connection between the handset and the car doesn't appear to be lost, the phone signal is.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks
John
Hi Guys,
I've got the same problem with my Artemis an the blutooth premium of my golf.
The pairing with the phone is lost when i switch on tomtom.
Did you find a solution ?
Same problem as Lolo and did not find any solution until now.
Use McGuider
As far as the problem comes from tomtom and not from the GPS usage, we can use other navigation software like McGuider. I have tested, and it works fine.
I asked tomtom about this problem but no matter the problem is within their software. They did not want to know anything about it because their sofware continues working (is the rsap who goes down).
I just came across a Cingular 2125 running Windows Mobile v6.1 being used on ATT Wireless network here in the states, An upgrade from my Nokia 6085. I would like to make it GPS Enabled even if I have to purchase a Bluetooth GPS Receiver (since I cant get my BT353 USB GPS Receiver work.)
Most all of the BlueTooth GPS Receivers I see use the Serial Port Profile (SPP) and I cant tell for sure but from what I read and can tell the 2125 doesnt support this Bluetooth Profile.
Yet alot of wesite I see including the ATT website says the 2125 supports external bluetooth gps receivers. Says 2125 is compatible with ATT Navigator with use of a BT-359C via SPP so im confused.
Can I used GPS Navigating software on the 2125 running WM5? And if so What GPS Reciever can I use. I was hoping to be able to use my BR-353 but not sure were to find usb driver that will work under WM5. The ones provided from usglobalsat are only for PPC and not WM6.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks,
SomeGuy
Anyone?
Just want to make sure that if I purchase a Bluetooth GPS Receiver it will work. Any recommendations on any paticular gps receiver?
SomeGuy
:BUMP:
Will a Bluetooth GPS that supports SPP profile work with the Cingular 2125?
Please Please!
I've used both of the Dell Bluetooth GPS units. One is the BT309 and I'm not sure the number of the newer model. I don't see why any Bluetooth GPS wouldn't work. Just select it and add a serial port for the connection. Then point whatever software you have to it. I'm using TomTom 5.2 which I guess is the last version for smartphone. I read somewhere that you could also run TomTom 6 (PPC version) but I can't figure out how (unless you use a ppc rom?).
Is it possible to use the integrated GPS in the Topaz as an external bluetooth GPS device for a laptop or an iPod Touch 2G?
Thanks in advance!
GPS2Blue
Yeah and it works great. Just install this

Thanks for that.
Unfortunately the iPod Touch cannot utilise a BT GPS unit! Hopefully some kind developer over that way will put something together
Hi all
Of course, I know that Htc Desire has got it's own Gps head but i've read several times that it will suck the battery damn quickly...
I was wondering, instead of this inernal GPS head, would it be more interesting, in term of battery life, to use a Bluetooth (BT ) connection to an external head...
I've tried it...No problem to have the external head ( Holux GPSslim236 ) beeing recognaized and paired...but it fails to connect...and I have no idea what it missing
In a previous life, when I was using my Windows Mobile PDA, in order to connect such a head, I had to provide a specific Com8 port, along with a SPP service to the BT...
so, two quickies..
1) Has that been already tested ?
2) Successfull i.e connected ?
Thks for having read all that
Haven't tried it yet, but I believe the WhereYouGo application has support for external Bluetooth devices. Might want to give it a try
There are a few app for this:
- Bluetooth GPS
- Bluetooth GPS Provider
- Bluetooth GPS Mouse
- Bluetooth GPS For Android
....
Some have been tested on this blog: AndroGeoid.
