Hey there!
Is there any way to use the Kaiser's GPS receiver as a bluetooth antena or through USB on a PC? Maybe COM to COM routing?
I use my laptop for planning trips, and have a GPS software on it... I'd rather use it instead of the Kaiser for the bigger screen.
Has anybody tried this?
SOLVED: Found the solution by using GPS2Blue.

I'd like to use my diamond as a bluetooth/USB gps and get connected to my laptop. Due too its bigger screensize, viewing maps on laptop got to be nicer, but then how ??? Any clues smart guys???

Thanks bro, I'm gonna get it
You could also try GpsGate for PCC and PC..
Works great for me.
Hmm... I never even realised you could do this. Saves me buying a separate BT GPS receiver for my CarPC.
One question, how do you actually set this up over Bluetooth? It just asks me to pick a BT port, but I have no idea which port to use.
it's said that autoroute 2007 works on the PC, i'll give it a go
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.

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!
Hi.
I'd like to use my Diamond as an external gps receiver, using it with my notebook. Is it possible to do so? Should I use a usb connection or bluetooth?
TNX
Have a look at Franson GPS Gate. This way, you can direct com4 to Activesync, and the PC-component of GPS Gate will put the input from AS to a virtual comport on the Notebook.
Have fun!
TNX, I'll give it a try.
Shoult I install it on my pc or diamond? Or both?
GPS2Blue seems to be the easy way...
TNX again.
Should I get the same gps lag I have using TomTom on Diamond if I use the phone as external gps receiver?
Up.
Any news?
Try it and you'll find out... I've tested GPS2blue, but don't remember if there was lag.
Hello

Try http://franson.com/gpsgate/
This is not free, but I guess you can try the trial version. In the windows mobile client you can use activesync as output and connect your phone to your computer. gpsgate should work on your computer after some configuration, I don't have full details but you can read at the above link.
I use gpsgate on my phone but I did not try on my computer.
I actually ordered a usb GPS 'dongle' and it's about the size of a USB flash drive or a BT dongle. I originally planned on taking it apart and hardwiring it into the motherboard of my laptop, but I think i'm going to hold off on it. Might make a good alternative to using the BT on your phone for GPS though.
There is a free app called GPS2BLUE (I think) that can send GPS data to your laptop through BT. I never test it, but as I remember, this was what it was made for.
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
