Does anybody know if its possible to use an external usb or bluetooth keyboard with the wing?
thanks
Why would you want that when the Wing has a full keyboard attached to it?
cuz...
The wing keyboard is cool for on the go (in transit), but, sometimes im at places with no PC and i can type way faster with 8 fingers than i can with two thumbs.
This would be a question for the accessories forum.
you're right
only thing is i dont wanna double post, maybe a moderator can move it
yes you can. I have the igo Stowaway keyboard and works great. I too have the problem of sometimes wanting to type out a document. keyboard was under a hundred from compusa online only.
I found this :
http://www.compusa.com/products/pro...ty=1&D=Stowaway&Ntk=All&product_code=50801445
And it works with the Wing with no problems? Are you using it with the bluetooth? how does it work? Does the Wing plug into it using the USB port for power but then it connects to the Wing via bluetooth?
thank you all
i ended up ordering mine from amazon, i got tha igo for only 29 bucks
sweeeet
thanks again
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
Hello everybody,
I just found out that Garmin has a programm for navigation which runs on Vista and XP. Before buying it:
I found the following part of a post on how to use the build in GPS from Vista side after using search:
------------
"Hi Martiare
There are two ways
1. you could use external bluetooth receiver that your vista side could use to connect using BlueTooth or USB, easiest and fastest way of doing it.
2. If you wish to use internal GPS of Shift then, you need to install either thaihugo's ROM, pliROM or RamROM, which can be downloaded from this forum (search is your friend). Once you install them, you have multiple options, but the one I use is using Franson's GPSGate Client for Vista and WinMo. I bought this for $49 and I feel good investment. Install GPSGatePPC on WinMo side, and GPSGate on Vista side. Configure GPSGatePPC to work on ActiveSync. Configure GPSGate to receive signals from ActiveSync. And install Maps software such as AutoRoute or Micosoft Streets, Earthmate etc. on Vista side and thats all.
Thanks
Ram"
----------------
My question is the following:
Is there a chaeper, maybe better solution for connectoin software to use the GPS on Vista side?
Best regards,

maybe you can use the free nav4all.com Navigation Software within Windows Mobile?
But you must (better is) have a Data Flat rate >200MB on your Mobile Provider Network

I wanted your help in getting my Garmin GPS software working with Franson's GPSGate 2.6. Here is what I've done:
1. Installed GPSGate 2.6 PPC on Snapvue side.
2. Installed GPSGate 2.6 Client on Vista side (but I have WinXP).
3. Configured GPSGate 2.6 PPC for ActiveSync output.
4. Configured GPSGate 2.6 Client on Vista/XP side for input on ActiveSync.
5. Error: "GPS data but no position. Running OK!" (Snapvue Side)
Anything I maybe missing or something else I can do? thanks....
have you turned on the GPS?
Start - Programs - HTC Debugtools - HTC GpsTools

Yes, I enabled HTC GPSTool and still get the same error in GPSGate on the SnapVue side. I have ROM_Deploy 3-2-09 by thaihugo. I need more detailed help, like settings or something. I'd really like to get GPS Software working. Thanks for any help.

It works fine if you download the latest update from Garmin.com (Update version 5.00.60g)
The problem is that Garmin Mobile PC version 5.00.50 or older doesn't detect the virtual COM port created by GPS gate.
You also need to enable GPS Tool in WM side and leave the shift standing outside (in an open space) for several minutes until you will get a satelite fix...

I found some steps to set Garmin Mobile PC, GPSgate turns green & I'm still working on it to see if it works in my shift probably
1. install Franson’s GPSGate software for the PPC platform on WinMo, configure it to share GPS signals out through Activesync.
2. using the HTC GPS Tool which comes with every custom GPS-enabled ROM, open the GPS port. Set baudrate to 4800.
3. connect the WinMo side to the Windows 7 side using USBTool. At this point, because you have so many programs open on the WinMo side with a limited amount of memory available, the WinMo side may act sluggishly; this is normal.
4. on the Windows side, install Franson GPSGate for Windows. Configure it to receive GPS signals through Activesync.
5. install your preferred GPS navigation program; in my case, I installed Garmin Mobile PC.
6. configure GPSGate on Windows to create a “virtual COM” port outputting the NMEA filter to share the GPS signals it receives from the WinMo side through Activesync.
7. Configure the GPS navigation software, in my case, Garmin Mobile PC, to use the Virtual COM port created in step 6 above.
8. Success!
Garmin Mobile PC running
Hello,
I have installed Garmin Mobile PC on Vista side and i also use Fransons GPS tool.
Have been playing with it for some time now.
Once you get a fixed position by sattelites it is a very good navigator which looks great on the big screen of the Shift, especially in the carholder....
Only problem is the time it takes to get a fixed position.
I have had to wait sometimes for over half an hour (while driving my car because of the long time waiting) before i got a fixed position.
I ordered an external USB GPS antenna from Garmin.
Wil share my experience with it.
Best regards,

that's a long time. It's too bad to wait that time to get fixed position in shift GPS .

I was successful in getting Garmin Mobile PC to work, but only with Windows Vista. I've spent hours trying to get it to work under Windows XP. Here's what I've run into:
Franson GPSGate v2.6 on WM side does not get fixed position.
If running Vista (and apparently Windows 7) then on WM side, using GPSGate, you'll get a fixed position. I found this out by re-imaging the Windows side with Vista (original factory image) and voila! GPSGate v2.6 on WM side magically obtained a fixed position even inside a building. I conclude therefore, that Vista has some sort of driver that enables or communicates with the WM side? I am going to re-attempt a new "clean" install, from scratch, of XP with all drivers, found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436982 and see if it works. Can't use Vista (too slow) and don't want Windows 7 (still beta) and believe XP would provide better battery life and performance.

I think you mean USB Tool which can connect both SnapVue (WM) with Vista.

No, the USBTool, HTC GPSTool and Franson GPSGate v2.6 on WM side works fine. The USBTool works fine with XP installed using Activesync. The main problem is GPSGate will not get fixed position if the Windows side is XP. No other problems. So, when I say there must be a driver in Windows Vista/Windows 7, i mean, something in these versions must be different than XP because GPSGate works fine. Any ideas?

GpsGate Client for Windows
(For Windows Vista / XP / 2000 / NT / 9x / ME)
Check this out
It doesn't matter which OS you have cause GPSGate supports and works in XP. Make sure Garmin works fine and registered, don't do like me. Then follow the mentioned steps. You've to wait about have an hour or maybe less till HTC GPS Tool got fixed position.
I've noticed something ... In SnapVue side When Vista not running, HTC GPS Tool in seconds get Satellite Fixed.
Hi all.
Thinking of getting either a HTC TD2 or a HTC touch HD
the general feeling is that the td2 is the one to go for (i am sure that apart from the screen size the td2 is better)
As i have to ditch orange (they have just stopped the htc thd) I thought i might get a data bundle.
Is it possible to get a data bundle and then use the phone as a modem for my laptop (thus saving having to buy a dongle)?
also, sorry about this, but can you confirm if either the thd or td2 will work with tomtom6.
If not i presume i have to buy both tt7 and a whole raft of maps.
Any other advice for a newbie potential owner is appreciated
Thanks
Use the TD2 as a modem:
- Connect laptop and TD2 by pairing with BlueTooth or using a USB cable.
- On the TD2, run the wm6 default program Internet Connection Sharing and choose either BT or USB
- On your laptop, right click the BT systray icon and connect to PAN network
Thanks for the prompt reply
sorry for being thick but i dont think i Have a BT systray
so long as its possible thats ok
all i need to do now is choose which phone and find the best place to buy one
Thanks
Better to plug your phone into the laptop using USB, that way the laptop keeps the phone powered while you're surfing.
When you plug the phone in, it will ask you if you want Antivesync, Data Drive or Connection Sharing. Just select Connection Sharing and all will be doodly.
TT6 doesn't work - you need TT7 (7.910 or 7.915) and yes you have to re-purchase all your maps. Also, the TD2 is not supported by Tomtom which means you cannot use any services such as Traffic so you'll have to disable them.
hi everybody
i recently bought a GPV1004 stereo car dash, which can play mp4 mp3 dvd & so on

thanks !
absolutly nobody interested in these devices ?
it definitely sounds interesting id love to try some sort of programming for something like that where did you get the stereo?

Hi D-mann !
I see u made what i wanna do with my GPV1004 from Takara, under WinCE 5.0 also
so what's the manner to have access to the desktop of the WinCE ?
I am also interested in finding out how to hack into my WinCE 5.0 2 Din unit. Done my HD with the help of the xda site, now want to try this thing in my van !
Im also interested. Ive been looking at getting one of these units.
Also do you know where i can find alternative dash software? That does all the same things but just with a nicer GUI
