hi mike, is there any way i can use GPS for free with the gps bluetooth receiver on my phone?
GPS is free EXCEPT FOR THE MAPS... The only place you'd find free maps is on a warez site which is NOT endorsed here so PLEASE DON'T ASK...
Cheers...

Hi guys, I just got my XDA Mini S yesterday and LOVE it!.. I was just wondering though, if I install Tom Tom on it will it cost me money on gprs or whatever it uses when calculating a route? I'm pretty new to all this gps and pda phones etc..
thanks!
No, no extra charges, all free.
To install TomTom you have to buy the software and by a GPS receiver. They are the only 2 costs.
The routes are calculated by the software from the maps that you have bought from TomTom and there are no data charges.
Enjoy.
hi thanks for the lightning quick replies. By a GPS receiver do you mean my actual phone??
Your phone will run the TomTom software, but you need something that talks to the GPS satellites, this is the GPS device. This tell the TomTom software where in the world you are by tracking satellites.
Check out this site for a introduction to GPS..... http://www.howstuffworks.com/gps.htm
As the for GPS device you have to buy, I use a Holux GPSlim 236..... http://www.holux-uk.com/Products/gpslim236/index.shtml.
You can pick these up on many websites and Ebay.
Hope the info helps
I had a question regarding this devices bluetooth GPS capablities.
Is there any necessary software to install on the device to use it as a GPS screen?
My intentions are to buy a bluetooth GPS receiver and link it to the phone. There is no way on earth i would pay cingular 9.99 a month for GPS that is already provided free by the government.
Has anyone had any luck linking a generic bluetooth gps receiver with the device? And if someone could please direct me to the GPS software for the device if there is such a thing.
I use a Garmin GPS10. it comes with the GPS software. it runs about $120. works well but most people seem to perfer TomTom.
eith way ypu pay a flat fee for the software and GPS receiver.
I bought a GPS receiver QSTARZ Q818 and it's working perfectly on my 8525 using Google Maps !!! and except for the receiver ($75) everything else is free !!! .. easy to set up and to use. But there is no voice ...

Bought a bt359 gps receiver for $99 from cingular and use live search (free) from microsoft. Has live traffic indicators and maps works great.

Voice?
Well I took the sucker punch and got the Tomtom...
Does anyone know where i would be able to download USA maps for the device?
I bought it - and took it back promptly... the GPS they sell only puts out Siirf protocol and not the NMEA. This caused only specific apps to work for me. Perhaps something was screwy on my phone but I could not get ViaVIsualEarth and GoogleMaps to function - but did not try Live Search.

Where are you from?
I have "normal" navigation to "on-road" and OziExplorer to bike off-road trips... It can work, but it is without voice instructions...
Thanks
Thats interesting. I am from sri lanka. How can i get that software that you use.
Hi folks,
I'm looking for some software, suitable for a JasJar running WM 6.1, which can do in-car GPS street navigation. I'm using an external bluetooth GPS keyring receiver, which works perfectly well with the JasJar.
I'd buy TomTom plus maps, but the price adds up to almost the cost of a dedicated GPS navigation unit.
Any ideas?
Cheers

As it happens, I've been able to "acquire" a copy of "Garmin Mobile XT", the Garmin in-car GPS navigation app for Windows Mobile, which runs perfectly on the JasJar. Also, I found a site offering legitimate free maps for my country.
All solved now
And on that line thread closed as all was solved.
