Hello,
Is there a way to get my computer to use my tytn II as GPS device. I have MS streets installed, it accepts external GPS, can I connect it as a COM port?
Thank you
Do a search.
Also, does your computer have bluetooth? That seems to be an easy way to do this from the posts that I saw.

thanks for the reply, I did do a search, however, I didn't know what terms to put in the search box. I would really appreciate if you could provide me a link. Also, my computer has BT.
Thanks
You'll need a program like GPSGate for that.

I have that program
Huh.. then use it? The GPSGate configuration wizard will ask you what GPS device to search for, select internal GPS, then on the next page in the output options choose Share over Bluetooth... that's all it takes.
Then on the PC create a bluetooth partnership if it wasn't done yet, or just refresh services, and you'll have a virtual COM port called GPSGate GPS. Connect to that.
When you're done don't forget to exit GPSGate or the GPS will run continuously when the device is on with the associated battery drain.
I love how people don't know how to search, but they know how to write out their problem. It's pretty much that easy.
kasier/tilt/whatever gps with computer.
thats what you search for.

How to sync Kaiser with activesync over bluetooth? I paired both devices but only one service is available from Kaiser and no services from PC. Anyone with an idea? I'm not so retarded for mobile phone, computers and stuff but this is over my head. I have XP with SP2, paired devices and only one service (dial-up networking) which is seen on PC and offered by Kaiser. No services are available from PC when I look in BT settings in Kaiser. So?
google it. I did. there's lots of instructions out there. once paired you should load active sync on the kaiser and click connect
Read the help file in activesync on pc and search for bluetooth.
The procedure there sorts it out fine.
Yeah, it drove me crazy for a while too.
By what i remember, u cannot choose just 'any' COM port on the kaiser and on the lapop. I had to setup activesync (on PC) to COM7 (this depends on your laptop, mine is a VAIOTX).
Here is what i used

Kireol, you've just made my day! Thanks a lot!
Is it possible to use Kaiser as GPS device for the PC.
I dont know if there is any application already does this?
hi
you can use gps2blue, a free program to share the internal gps of kaiser or a good commercial program called gps gate.
Have a read of this thread, there are at least two applications that can do what you want, one is free, the other costs, as long as your laptop has BT it is easy, if not have a look at the active sync connectivity options in the software - Mike

GPS2BLUE as stated above, works very well.

Hi there,
I did a couple of searches but couldn't come up with anything useful to answer this question:
Is there some way to activate the Kaiser's internal GPS, convert the stream to some universal format (say, NMEA) and pass it to another computer via USB, Bluetooth or WiFi? My idea is to use the Kaiser as an external "USB mouse" like those 80-buck USB Sirfstar III units. At least for me this would open a number of interesting applications on my laptop without having to carry around another GPS device in addition to my mobile phone.
So one possible use for this would be to do live tracking on google earth, Fugawi, OziExplorer or some serious GIS.
Does anyone know if this exists? If I had more time I might try to code something, but I'm swamped at the moment

I know there is an app that lets you track yourself via google earth. If you search more I'm certain that was a thread about using the phone as a BT gps device.
I'm bored so I will try searching too.
-------------edit ----------------------
OMG in less then 60 seconds I found your answer. LOL good job searching.

Hey, thanks for your help despite the sarcasm.
It makes quite a bit of a difference if you know what you're searching for. I was mainly searching for "usb passthrough gps" and variations on "gps passthrough" which clearly lead nowhere.
That software looks like exactly what I was looking for, thanks.

Bluetooth, gps, tilt
Thats all I searched for.
GPS gate allows you to use bluetooth or usb. been using it with my work laptop for navigation.
GPS2blue allows external GPS access through bluetooth and IP (wifi or GPRS).
Awesome question and software. Thanks for posting!
One Simple Question i dit not find any information about:

Of course it's possible. Search for GPS2Blue, little free program that does it.
There's GPSGate too, but it's payware and needs activesync on the PC.
Ok I have been looking for a solutions for a long time. I want to use my shiny new Dell Mini 10 with windows 7 for turn by turn directions and i want to use my at&t tilt as the GPS receiver. So, what FREE solutions do I have? Google Earth would be sweet if it had VOICE directions.. but I know the odds of finding a free solution for that is going to be slim.
also, i keep thinking that i'll need a data connection AND a way to share the gps signal?!
bluetooth isn't an option.. at least not yet. I have to buy a BT dongle some day soon. HOPEFULLY i can find a miniscule BT USB thing so it wont stick out the side of the mini too much.
So i have 2 options for connections.. i have WIFI router on the tilt or i have to use USB. but as far as i know.. if i use usb i have to then CHOOSE between internet sharing or activesync... i need to use active sync to share the gps ports but i need internet sharing to get the data connection!!?? sooooo confused..
someone PLEASE help me
thats the situation.. to review... here are the questions i need answered.
1) what software to use on the laptop?
2) what software(s) to use on the phone?
2a) gps sharing?
2b) internet sharing?
3) how to connect the two? (usb, wifi or bt)
THANKS AHEAD OF TIME to whoever responds..
and please don't BURN me because I HAVE SEARCHED.. if you know the threads i should read then please just link me and i'll be happy to read them over..
Well, you'll need something like gps2blue
http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2Blue.html
on the tilt and Hardware Virtual Serial Port from here:
http://www.hw-group.com/products/hw_vsp/index_en.html
That will make the GPS on the Tilt look like a Serial port GPS device to the netbook.
That is the easy part. I don't think you'll find a free GPS mapping product with turn-by-turn voice commands.
Actually you will
