Hello all,
Is there a tools that will be able to measure the distance of the other bluetooth device your are communicating with :?: Something like a compass that directs you to the poisition of the other bluetooth devices in range :?:
Thanks in Advance.
that would be a cool application
That would be very cool, but I doubt it very much
There might be some kind of signal strength application that will give you a clue how close you are etc ?
Rgds,
Rob.

Rookie question here: Is it possible to share my Trinity's GPS unit with my Wizard over a Bluetooth connection? Now I don't know if Bluetooth is required to be enabled when using GPS because the Trinity communicates to the GPS unit over BT or if it's just something to get the damn thing working but if it does actually send the GPS data over BT, how would one set the other phone to use this signal?
Thanks.

Try GPSgate http://www.franson.com/gpsgate/
I have shared Trinity's GPS with my laptop before, I don't see any reason why not between two phone.
GPS data is a one way data stream, so you can record it or redirect it to any virtual COM port on any device designed for it.
But I think GPSgate is the only app I can recall that does it nicely.
Also checkout the PocketPC Experts' reviews of GPS software for other possibilities.

You may try also GPS2Blue (http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2Blue.html) - benefits: it's freeware.
Thanks fellas for your wonderful suggestions. I'm looking into them now.

Hi,
Check out the COM-port settings in the Settings-System-GPS applet and point your software to the hardware port .

Registry hack to fix this.
Hi, checkout this thread
I was having the same problem with tomtom6. The only reason I didn't put it down to a faulty GPS was because VisualGPSce got a signal.
I had done so much shirking around with the unit that I had to hard reset it then carry out the registry hack. I don't have the registry entry in front of me, but if you can't find it, let me know.
Cheers

I have the same problem, I have installed a newer ROM and since then there is no GPS functionality at all.
I have tried to enter the settings described in these forums but none work. Not sure what else to try?

i paired teh 2 devices and my igo 2006 can't seem to detect the external gps - I have a Sirf star III bluetooth gps
can any one please tell me the steps to make them work... the quick instalation guide on the gps "manual" which is a piece of paper seems to be not helping a lot....
any steps to be made on the phone other than pairing the device?

add an outgoing com port on the gps settings under bluetooth on the hermes and then it will be able to talk to the gps
