Can i use my diamond as a gps reciver from a com? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I'm sorry if this has been asked before.
I tried searching for an answer but didn't come up with any.
I want to know if it is possible to use my diamond as either a wired or bluetooth gps reciver to a computer.
The purpose is that i want to use a netbook pc as a gps navigation device.
I just need to know whether i can use my phone as the reciver.

It's possible to use your diamond as a bluetooth GPS receiver with GPS2Blue

I have an adapt AD-350 bluetooth GPS receiver.
Works like a dime! It 'only' cost me 50 euro's (dixons, the netherlands).
Works with any app that can use GPS, (for all I know).

How to setup
Could someone tell me how to setup GPS connection over Bluetooth? I have a Nokia GPS which was working on normal HTC Touch and I just can't get it work on Nike... This is what I did:
1. Turn on GPS
2. Turn on Bluetooth on Nike
3. Search for BT device, Nokia is found
4. Enter code
5. Select serial port (the only port offered)
6. I create an outgoing port (e.g. COM2) for Nokia (in settings/connections/setting/bluetooth)
7. I set GPS program port to the previously created outgoing port in setting/system/External GPS)
8. I set GPS port number in iGO...
What did I wrong? Please help me.
Thank you in advance
That's all correct. I can't see what's the problem there.
Me neither... On my old iPaq (WinMo 2003) is a lot easier to connect as there is a connect feature in Bluetooth manager. In WinMo 2006 there is no such possibility... How can a bluetooth connection to GPS initialized without iGO? How could I connect from Windows to test the connection?
mapping software
i live in the us where can i get a free mapping software with map? because i dont want to access any data...

HTC TYTN2 ad a Bluetooth GPS?

Hi
Is there any software for the tytn2 which will allow me to use it as a bluetooth gps?
Thanks
i have installed a program named GPSgate. You can try this... but i never tested it. You can link your gps to bleutooth virtual com port and trough USB i thougt.
Good Luck
GPS2Blue, work perfect with my Kaiser and my UMPC via bluetooth
Looks like GPS2Blue will do the trick - what settings did you use on the TYTN2 ?
Thanks
I had the same question this morning Downloadd GPSGate end it worked perfect as a GPS via BlueTooth.

No just kidding. I installed the software on my TyTN II. Then started the program and it came with a wizard. I checked Active Sync and BlueTooth. After that you have a new row at the bottom of your screen. There you can see that it is active. I turned on the BT on my device. Then browsed BT devices on my computer and there a got a SPP port and it was mapped to COM18. In my program (which we wrote ourselves at our company) I connect to COM18 and all works fine.
Yes Blue2GPS is small, simple, light and it worked with NO FUSS and no bull.
I can use the GPS on my phone to track my position using Google, Microsoft's Live search and Delorme all the while sending a GPS signal to my laptop where I can also track my position - Lots of fun!
GPS2BLUE is but simple - It works.
Beautiful. Had exactly the same question and this has flatly answered it I spent hours this morning trying to get my Tytn2 to work as a standalone GPS receiver that my old brick of a Ipaq h6340 could use for it's SatNav software.
Thank you to all
Yep, try GPSGate.....
This is going to sound silly, but is it possible to share a bluetooth GPS via Bluetooth on the Tilt?
I have an unused smartphone with Tom Tom on it which I'd like to use as a car nav so my Tilt isn't tied up doing it. But I want the Tilt having use of the GPS for TrackMe and other things.
I will not use the Tilt's GPS for many reasons, so I use a Bluetooth GPS, and share it out to multiple programs on the Tilt via GPSGate. All that works well. But it'd be nice to be able to share the bluetooth GPS with the other smartphone as well.
AFAIK the GPS won't connect to multiple devices, and I tried to set up a bluetooth output in GPSGate which didn't seem to work. I know the Tilt can connect to multiple devices on Bluetooth, but perhaps GPS data is too much to share. But figure it's worth asking.

kaiser as bt gps for *other* devices

Can GPS inside of kaiser be used via bluetooth by other devices? (so it will be seen as just bt gps)
Maybe some software that allows this?

How to use BT GPS instead of Build-in GPS?

I am wondering how to use the Bluetooth GPS for my X1.
I find that I can't use my BT GPS in my X1. Even Mapking or Google Map, I can only use my build-in GPS.
When I want to change my "GPS Hardware Port", I can't do it. It reset to "none". I already set a port for the BT GPS.
Maybe someone would say I should use the build-in one, but it use much battery.
And I can't connect the GPS for long time while I am hiking or cycling, I don't want to take the X1 out > connect GPS > see where I am.
By using BT GPS, I could log the track and find out where I am easily.
Sorry for my poor English. Could anyone help me? Thanks.
Which program do you use and which external gps?
I use TomTom 7. I just pair the external with the X1 and then open tomtom select external gps and voila... it is working automatically. I don't have to select any port or baud rate or anything else.
The bluetooth will also eat up your battery.
But in in any case, in your control panel/settings there is an icon for "external GPS", which you need to set.
a gps is only a receiver where bluetooth is a transceiver
and transceivers use more power and they have to transmit too
so i'd say that it would cause faster batt being empty
