Using my phone's GPS with a laptop app

How can I use my phone's GPS with a program like Streets and Trips or Street Atlas?
I often use my laptop while on the road (the wife drives) and would prefer a better option than TT6 Navigator.

you might have to get a USB gps puck for the laptop

GPS
Does that mean it can not be done? I have an interest in this also.

you need...
you need to expose your GPS to an external serial BT port. I think there is a tool called BlueGPS that does this. You can then use BT on your laptop to get the NMEA output. It makes your integrated GPS phone act like a BT GPS device for your laptop.

I use BlueGPS with my tilt over USB and it works well, except if I try to use Internet Sharing or WMWifiRouter it disconnects the com port. I haven't been able to get BlueGPS to work with Bluetooth of Wifi yet. So it only works with programs that have the maps on the computer and not ones like GooPS that get the maps from the Internet.

I downloaded the BlueGPS CAB, but cannot seem to get it to work.
Any specific instructions on how to get this BlueGPS work on the phone and have the laptop computer use the phones internal GPS receiver over bluetooth?
Attached is the BlueGPS installer CAB.
Thanks

Old thread...but after much investigation, I have discovered what you need is gps2blue, not BlueGPS!
gps2blue is free, and will do what is desired here.

Use the phone as a GPS mouse???????

Take a look at Franson GPSGate, it lets you share the GPS data through activesync, using bluetooth or cable.

GPS Out

Hmmmm is it possible to use the Diamond as an External GPS, connected to a laptop and read the Nema Data and do "stuff" with it?
With the Trinity I could do this (with some tirckery) over bluetooth, handy for wardriving when coupled with netstumbler

Diamond as External GPS receiver

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?

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.

[Q] GPS share to PC over USB

Before I had WM6.5 (or less), where I used a program GpsGate
But now I bought WP7, and I'm trying to find a program similar to GpsGate WP7 which is share GPS data via virtual com port.
I want to use my HTC HD7 or in the future next device on WP7 to transfer GPS data from WP7 to PC as a standard USB GPS device, for example, for PC programs such as:
Google Earth
Navi-Sailor
Max Sea
it is possible now? or mango?
