[Q] GPS share to PC over USB - HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

how do you connect to the internal gps on the phone?
I do the same thing with Google Earth. I have my TYTN II connected to my notebook via USB cable and I use a little utility called, "GPSGate."
GPSGate works with every single GPS program I've run across. It even works via Bluetooth and ActiveSync.

Problem with Remote Desktop w/ WM6.5 hybrids

So i have installed Athine lite, PDACornerUltimate.V17, and HyperDragon IV. Athine lite and PDA v17 are both based on WM 6.5 and i can not get WM remote desktop to work it just hangs @ connecting with no error messages. Hyperdragon based on 6.1, RD works just fine.
Any1 have a solution to get this working on v6.5? i have installed Mocha Remote Client and Terminal Services 2002 and both of those work just fine on WM6.5, but i really want to be able to map my device to the machine.
im currently running Athine lite as its fast and clean.
would you mind explaining how you got it to work the first time? im a little confused about the domain and ip address and such
so what is no one having a problem with this?
same problem here, just sitting on connect...
And there's no traffic since HSDPA doesn't kick in (switching between H and 3G symbol).
I've been trying Anryl's latest ROM's. 21202 rev 8 or 9 had RDP as part of the ROM at that connected ok.
I've just upgraded to his 21500 rev 5 and RDP is not embedded so installed from the .cab I used with WM6.1 and I get the hang at 'connecting' problem.
Don't really want to downgrade but may have to...
Same here. It worked with 6.1 but I install the same cab on 6.5 (Tai BlueCalm ROM) and it just hangs when trying to connect. I can't figure it out.
I found this link in XDA Developers and it works now for WM6.5.

Was anyone able to establish a connection with this version of rdp 6.5? I only get connection errors when I try to connect to my Vista SP 2 System (works from any Windows XP and Vista device, so its no issue with my pc).

Yes you can with an ad-hoc connection. You'll have to google it though, as no one can tell you the exact details for your network as you will have to use an internal IP address. Start by googling how to use the "ipconfig" command in dos, as that's a good way to find out internal addresses quickly.
Start here:

Thanx for Reply Stuntdouble, but need more info
Thanx for reply stuntdouble but i need some more info regarding the same.
1. Link u have forwarded - I have already did before made a adhoc connection on my laptop and connected it from my winmo.
2. winmo cannot connect thru wireless though when connected thru USB get working fine.
3. I cannot even see a different machine other than my own PC in network neighbourhood.
4. I have installed Network access from HTC but it also dont show any computer in LAN conected while connected on adhoc.
please reply if this could be sorted.
thanx in advance.
Sounds like there's a firewall blocking the connection on your pc.

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.

Bluetooth

Hi,
I just bought a Bluetooth dongle for my PC. (Trust Ultra Small Bluetooth 2.1 Usb Adapter 25 M)
The main reasons for buying this was so I could sync without using one of my very spare USB ports.
Another big reason was that I really want to try SideShow.
So, I hooked the thing up, installed it. Works like a charm for most services (files etc). It just doesn't work for two things: ActiveSync (on the phone)/Windows Device Center (on my PC) and Windows SideShow. Yay.
Could you please help me out?
To summarize:
PC with Vista Home Premium,
Trust Ultra Small Bluetooth 2.1 Usb Adapter 25 M,
HTC S730.
Not working for ActiveSync nor SideShow.

PS: I installed something called "X86-PC Drivers.cab" I found in some thread. That's supposed to be the drivers for the SideShow service on the PC. (I think I installed them, I did not get an error from Rundll32...)
EDIT: what might be of use: I can't get the devices to pair if I use the PC to initiate that. The PC does not find the phone untill I pair them using to phone to initiate.
I don't know about SideShow but I managed once to ActiveSync my Wings through Bluetooth. Just be sure to remove any security restricition on your Bluetooth settings on your device. Like Secure Connection etc... Also, setup a serial port when you connect with your PC and then, at PC ActiveSync settings, at connection settings -> Allow Connections To One Of The Following (Com 4 or whatever). And then, at ActiveSync on your mobile, connect through Bluetooth. Try it and come again if it doesn't work.
Yes! Thank you. It's syncing as I type. That COM4 did the trick!
In the same way, you can have Internet on your mobile through Bluetooth's activesync connection. It is helpful if you don't have wifi on your mobile.

Is there an app that will allow the Nexus to act as an external GPS for a laptop?

In my old iPaq days I used an application called GPSGate that would allow me to use the GPS of my iPaq 6515 as an external GPS via USB or Bluetooth and connect to my laptop.
The NMEA data would then stream to the laptop and voila, GPS data on the lappie.
I have searched and hunted and cannot seem to find an equivalent app for the Android envionment, anyone seen one...?
I also searched for this one month's ago but also couldn't find anything. hope someone here knows.
Update
SO far I have found two apps that MAYwith work be able to work.
BlueNMEA which is supposed to pass the NMEA GPS data via Bluetooth from N1 to the computer.
So far I get it running, seems to be pulling data, can set up a BT connection but I simply can't get the PC to "see" the COM 3 port and data.
Not sure if the issue is with the app or with the BT stack implementation on Android
GPS Tether
This one sets up a GPSD process running on the N1 and is supposedly useable via USB and ADB and port forwarding.
I have tried it a slightly different way which is tantalizingly close to working. I have set up the N1 with WiFi terhering on and associate the PC with it. Once up and running I can run a terminal session via IP and can connect to the port but it still has problems with passing data.
All these have been tried with a Win7 box so I am going to see if a Ubuntu box may have different results.......
