Does anyone know of a GPS SD Card which has memory as well as the GPS....???
I have found a GPS SD Card - but it doesn't have any memory which is quite useless if your trying to run a SatNav solution...
Look forward to any suggestions....??
www.b2wireless.net
why not get a bluetooth gps and that keeps the sd free
tomtom 3 runs on them reasonably well with bluetooth
pm me if u want recomendations etc

The benefit of SD GPS - is that the PDA can become a "Lone Worker" tracking device....
With a bluetooth device, the user would have to walk with TWO devices instead of 1.......therefore a lot easier a solution for users ------
We are bound to see the demise of Bluetooth GPS as the SD slot gets more and more useage....
Any further comments are always welcome....

Bearing in mind the limited internal DOC capacity, I have an SDIO GPS and want to run Tomtom on my Jasjar. Is there anyway to fit Tomtom on the internal DOC so I can use the SDIO for the GPS, or am I better off getting shot of the GPS and getting a bluetooth version so I can use the SD slot for memory?
Sorry just noticed I posted in wrong section, not good going for my first post!
In order to fix my buggered wifi problem I purchased a 'G' sdio wifi card from spectec. I thought I would post my experience.
The card does work! It has good speed (perhaps fitting the 'g' rating, but I am not sure) and EXCELLENT range (compared to my old Dell CF wifi card in my Axim X5 anyway).
The only problem with it is that if the unit powers off or if you remove the card, you must soft-reset to gain access to the wlan driver again. The card will power up and flash, but there will be no connection... in fact the WIFI utility will not even open until you soft reset. All I do is run WIFIfofum and keep the card alive all the time.
BTW, if you use POCKETLAN with this, you can map a folder on a file share and pretend it is your missing SD storage card. Works quite nicely.... My plan is to buy a BLUONYX (when the come out) and use it as a massive SD Card replacement.

wow you must really need wifi to make you buy a separate one...
but the problem with the wlan driver losing access when you power off the device or after turning it off is actually ROM dependent....
thanks for the info anyway regarding the card
Yeah. It seems to have something to do with keeping the driver alive and getting confused with the built in driver when it is time to revive it. Often WIFI comes back in the 'on board' form. I have been toying with the idea of just swapping the names of the drivers in the registry...
WIFIFOFUM2 does a pretty good job (if I remember to start it). The only drawback is battery power is lost.. (you cannot remove the card, even with it running).
I don't how anyone can live without WIFI on these things... there are just so many uses for it...
Skype... web surfing... syncronising podcasts directly...a whole host of lan services...vnc... windows terminal services...
I do a lot of support work now at home... I just carry my VNC or WTS connection around with me instead of being tied to a desktop/laptop... it's great!
i forgot to mention that it does not work in wm6. i tried. the driver locks up on install.
Really? I didn't realize that was an SDIO slot. Thanks for letting me know, the wifi on my uni is dead too, and i was thinking about buying a new phone. hehe
Is it Spectec SDW-821 SD WiFi Card 802.11b/g ?
I find black one (http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=132725) and blue one(http://www.buygpsnow.com/spectec-sd...821-sdio-wireless-lan-retail-package-613.aspx) in internet , does it make any difference?
I found blue one is always cheaper than black one while searching internet.
I'm palning to buy one since my O2 XDA EXEC WiFi has poor reception,. and I need to get better option.
It says Transfer data rates is up to 54Mbps at 802.11g, so I'm hoping I get faster speed, and range.
Any updates on this?

I have an Qtek 2020 with PPC 2003 (ROM v1.75.103) on it and I just bought a Spectec SDW 821 b/g WiFi Card. It seems as if I can connect to my WLAN (it says 'connected' in the Settings menu) but when I for example start Pocket Internet Explorer I cannot surf the internet, because it says there is no connection??? When I then want to configure the connection I only cannot choose WLAN...
Any idea?

It's a ROM related problem. I'm currently running c_shekhar's 6.1.1b version with a Spectec 820 b WiFi card without problems. See the c_shekhar's Himalaya (Qtek 2020) ROM forum here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369701
The 'b' version is not available anymore and some people complain about the 'c' version with the Spectec card, but try it out first. Maybe c_shekhar can send you the 'b' version to you personally.
Thanks for your reply. I hoped it could get it working without the scary flashing thing (). I will think about it...

Well , just buy some Spectec card b/g SDIO bluecard format, and some spectec GPS receiver to give some wifi and GPS connections to my old but nice Qtek2060 , my configuration is like deschman one: let see some details about it:

as you can see, i update the rom and the radio, and get better results
i was thinking: great ! gonna install the c_shekhar's Himalaya ROM, then get some cool new stuff
i tried to upgrade with the: WM6.1 AKU1.0(build 19199) RAMDisk-16MB Pagepool size-32MB for Hima(Updated 23.03.08), but with no succes. (in fact, the program does not install at all)
any suggetions, please ?
all answers, appreciated, thanks,by advance
hi,
I answered myself for the previous message, the problem is that, with an integrated USB bridge facade of my tour, deploiment of packadge did not take place as required,
morality: Always check your USB connection is directly connected to a USB port.
otherwise, everything works very well, no incompatibility, or problems, great!
Registry trick to fix WIFI
This is a trick to fix my O2EXEC. The internal WIFI died, so I bought a SPECTEC 11G SDIO wifi card. It works with WM6, however when you power off the machine the wifi stops working. You have to reset with the wifi card in to get it to work again. I suspected that it might be a problem with the old driver for the built in wifi....
I got a registry editor (REGEDITCE c1.2) and found all the references to TIACXWLN.DLL and changed it to point to WLAN11G.DLL
goto
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
then
COMM
then
TIACXWLN
edit
IMAGEPATH
to say WLAN11G.DLL
then do the same on
TIACXWLN1
I have not tested too much, but initially it seems to survive a power down and a card replacement.
I have been testing for a few days now and it is working great. a few seconds after inserting the car, it connects.... and even shows the icon (which was previously there only when the built in wifi was on)

-is anyone using a gps device with the s620?
-is it possibile to use de mini-usb port to connect gps devices or do i have to use BT?
-what's the best gps software out there?
i am using windows mobile 6 and have a 1 gb sd card.

Before it was STOLEN, I used the Garmin Mobile 10 Bluetooth GPS System. It worked well with my T-Mobile Dash, however, the animation was a tad sluggish due to my limited space on the microSD card. The manual recommended using at LEAST a 1GB storage card...so that was what I did. Because of the infinite amount of maps the program installs to your card, I would recommend a MINIMUM of 2GB on your microSD.
Now to answer your question... The GPS unit has a mini-USB slot very similar to that of the Dash, but Bluetooth is the only method of connection between the two devices. The system is available on Amazon.com for $125.67.

I'm currently using a Freedom GPS unit...no bigger than a key chain and works well with google maps and windows live search...AND costs less than or just a hundred dollars.
The fact that it's sluggish would have nothing to do with how much space you have on miniSD card.
I'm currently using a bluetooth GPS receiver with Route66 V7 which works very well with the S620
Currently using a WondeX BT760Y mainly for Google Maps & Windows Live works fine. 44 Hours of battery life and connects through bluetooth. I don't think you will find a GPS Unit that connects to the USB of the T-Mobile Dash.

I am using a holux 100 via BT and it has been working fine on my Dash/s620, mda\wizard and on my shadow\juno. also i have been using a program called nav4all free on line just go to nav4all.com gives turn by turn and maps. i haven't been lost yet.
Motorola T815. Comes with Motonav, and a Years subscription. I never used the subbscription, and usually use it with Live Search.
I would like to know how to disable the internal GPS.
The reason is that I have found it to lose position fairly frequently whereas the TomTom Wireless GPS MkII I was using with my old Treo never once lost it's position.
So I intend to disable the internal GPS, and use my TomTom Wireless GPS MkII instead.
WinMo 6.1
Black&White v5.0
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.11.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 4.1.0.7
thanks in advance
Paul
I can only think of settings/GPS. Maybe setting GPS Program port to '(none)' instead of com4 might disable it? Also, I just had a look and when I load tomtom on the phone and go to 'configure' where I would select a GPS receiver to use, there's one which says Tom Tom Bluetooth GPS Receiver. Would that work for your wireless? I'm just guessing here.
Thanks Roman. I don't see any way of validating 100%, but I think what's happening is when my external (TomTom Wireless GPS MkII) is connected, the phone is getting it's position from that GPS rather than the internal one.
So in theory, problem solved.
In practise however (I used it yesterday), the phone isn't losing the GPS position like before, but it seems to have lost a load of accuracy.
I need to do more testing on this.
