Is it possible to have data connection (vista) and sync at the same time? I have been using GPS with Google Earth using Fransons GPSGate. Problem is whenever I establish sync between winmo and vista for the purposes of gps accessibility vista side, the data connection is immediately lost. Of course Google Earth requires active internet connection. Question is; is there some kind of configuration i can do to have both data and sync running at the same time? For now I am using a Nokia phone + Nokia PC Suite to get internet while shift is in sync mode which kind of defeats the purpose of having dedicated data line. Thx
Dear! we've discussed ways to use GPS in both sides Here hope it helps you

Sure I have read that thread. But the thread is basically about Garmin. Here I am asking about Google Earth that requires internet connection. Or to put it more precisely I was asking whether one can use 3G and sync vista side at the same time. However further search has confirmed that it is problematic using USBTool and 3G from winmo side concurrently as both use the same channel......

Hi, when I get my Kaiser it will be my first jump into the world of GPS. I have a simple question.
Do I need an internet connection while I'm using the GPS Software, or does it work offline?

GPS uses satellites so the answer to your question is "No"; however, if you want live traffic updates then that might require an internet connection.
Thanks
Thank you very much for the info.
Also, it depends on what navigation software you choose. Software like Tomtom, Route66 etc... install the maps to your memory card so no internet connection is needed (except as mentioned above for traffic information etc..)
However, it is worth noting that some GPS software doesn't actually install all the map information, it actually downloads it as you go along and this is via your GPRS/3G connection so these can be pretty costly if you don't have a tarriff which is good for data.
I use Tomtom on my Vario 2 (hermes) and have found it is an excellent program.
I have a question and I'm sure it may have been answered before, (if it has forgive me for bringing it up again)I just cant seem to find the info I need.
My question is: If I use Tom Tom Nav.6 on my Tilt/Kaiser and I download and install my maps using Wi-Fi or active sync, will using the app cause GPRS data transfer? I know google maps does but the whole thing is done over GPRS.
If so is there a way to use GPS on my Tilt/Kaiser without incurring large amounts of data transfer thus shooting my bill through the roof?

Buy the maps from tomtom. install them to your PC. active sync copy them to your tilt. use tomtom. that wont ever use the internet connection.
cool
Thanks, I can't seem to get an answer from anyone else. AT&T told me exactly the opposite but I don't think they understood what I was asking. Thanks again for the help.
I'm using TomTom without any problems at all. It will eat a lot of battery, so watch out for that.
I just bought a Htc 8925 and i heard that it has a gps built in the phone. but i could not figure it out how to use the gps without paying the monthly fees. So please let me know any options that i could do to make my phone work like a gps or at lease help me to get where i want to go. thank you very much
GPS Programs
Hello Shadowluan,
This is a problem I once had too, and I found that you only have to subscribe to programs like telenav or pay GPS programs like tom tom. The two standard yet excellent free gps applications I use are Windows Live Search http://livesearchmobile.com/windows_mobile.htm, and Google Maps http://www.google.com/mobile/default/maps/index.html. However, the free programs do not do everything a good pricey GPS program will do. However, you should use quick GPS under programs > tools before connecting, as it can greatly reduce the time it takes to connect to the satellites. Hope I've helped,
Dave
Download google maps for pocket pc. When it's open check off use gps.
hi, i have google maps already, but whenever i use it, it says i have to have a data connection. if i check off use gps like you said, how can i use google maps to show the direction? thank you very much
Can I use google maps or windows live search to find the direction i want without data connection or Wifi or any internet stuff. because i think htc 8925 has gps built in right? thanks
GPS Usage
Hello Shadowluan,
Windows live search can show direction once it has a satellite connection established and an active internet connection. However, as far as I know, there is no free GPS program that can show maps without an internet connection over At&t or wifi or some other internet connection. Having maps installed on the device I believe is only a feature of the pricey programs. Hope I've helped,
Dave

The HTC 8925 HAS GPS built in, all it has is a device that sends your phone its Lat/Long Coordinates. You need a piece of software that can take that information and feed it into a map.
Google Maps and Windows Live, store their maps on a server and therefore require a data connection.
Other Programs put the maps on your Device, TomTom, iGo 2008, but these cost money.
Make your choice. Buy the Nav Program or pay the Data Charge.

Even though I never had the need, I just connected my iMac to the internet using my Tilt as a bluetooth modem. Just to see, and it was pretty easy
Just establish a bluetooth pairing with your Macbook and your phone,
Start Internet Sharing in your programs menu.
Set PC connection to Bluetooth pan
Set network connection to Media net
Go to menu and tap bluetooth settings
Tap on your laptop in the devices list
Make sure you have Activesync and serial port checked.
press save
Go back to Internet Sharing window and press connect.
If you have any other questions let me know.
Oh, by the way AT$T is really cracking down on data usage, if you are going to be using this alot. You need to get a tethering plan or they will charge you.
hey guys
so many posts from me to ask your help for a newbie to install and set up a gps for my shift. I live in Israel, and I ask you kindly to tell me step by step guide to have a gps running on the vista side.
I really now reached the begging point, how much more humiliation do I need to show before someone can help
I am running age of beauty from thaihugo
Did you follow this?
http://www.paludour.net/GPS2BlueFAQ.html#USB
if not, tell me where you are stuck.
Otherwise,click on the gps2blue icon in the htc debug tools on wm side.
Make sure you install a gps progam on vista side. What's your choice?
Google Map
You should try google map. It's lighter and easy to use. Kindly ensure you activate HTCgps tool to connect with google map. It's easy and fast.
We will wait until the sd card available in our WM then we can use other GPS like garmin or others.
Cheers.
Don't change any settings in gps2blue. it must be com4.
on pc, the com you set is for your gps program. if you say com9, then configure igo to com 9.
gps2blue and pc side use tcp/ip to communicate. Have you established and activesync connection using usb tools before running everything?
just one more question, if i want to use the gps do i need to have access to the internet.
If yes, how can I use the GPS without internet, like I use it on my htc touch hd
thanks thaihugo

you don't need internet access. Just make sure you leave it a long time in an open area to get it's signal.
