Internal GPS use as External

Can somebody use Artemis´s GPS as a external, for example I have Nokia E61i and on this phone I wanted internal GPS from Artemis. Do you know some program?

How about GPS2Blue if you can assign a com port to receive gps data on the Nokia

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.

Can I use my internal GPS as an external GPS for my pc via BT?

I ahve read about this before, can I use the GPS signal form the phone to add GPS to my laptop via BT?

something popped up called GPS2Blue, that might help me, anyone have experience with this or know of some other program or utility?

external GPS receiver

Hi all,
Does somebody use an external GPS receiver for car navigation (navigon/sygic etc)?

I've used my external holux unit a couple of times. I used it in navigon together with the app Bluetooth GPS.

Thanks,
I also bought an Holux today...(GPSlim 240), and it seems it's working GREAT..

Just curious, can I ask why you would use an external GPS receiver, rather than the internal one?

I've had problems with my internal receiver at two diffrent occasions. Had the external receiver lying in the car so I decided to use it. Worked like a charm

Makes sense. I also have an external receiver from the days when phones didn't have internal GPS receivers, but I would expect the One X receiver to work effectively without needing to resort to using another device.

You would think so, but I've had nothing but issues from mine as well. Just doesn't seem to want to stay on course. Maybe my internal gps receiver is bad?

I think I had better test mine out on the way to work in the morning!

I wanted to use my phone as navigation but i had a poor gps signal, at first i tried a couple of fixing tools but they didn't work as good as i hoped....
now with my external gps receiver and the bluetooth gps app, i have 12 sat's in no time and always a good gps signal...whereever whenever...

I am going to be looking at a long (well say 5 to 6 hours) trip, and was thinking of ways to avoid overheating the HOX, and thought this might help. Anyone who has done this - does this :
1. How did you make it use the external GPS
2. Did it therefore not use the internal GPS at all or just supplement it (given what I am trying to achieve)
3. did it revert OK to the internal GPS when you went back to wanting to use it?
Cheers

I recommend the app Bluetooth GPS to connect to the external receiver. When it's connected the internal receiver won't be used.
When you turn off the application the phone will automatically use the internal receiver when needed.
This will save you some battery but the navigation app and Bluetooth will still draw a lot of juice.
