It's a dream: an SDIO GPS with integrated slot where you can put a(n up to) 2GB MicroSD memory card.
http://www.spectec.com.tw/sdg810.htm
It's a dream because I read that it has drivers for Windows Mobile 2003 but I didn't find drivers for Windows Mobile 2005 to make it work on my HTC Universal.
I invite you to write to them that WE WANT drivers for Windows Mobile 2005!
Here is their email address: [email protected].
It sure looks great but unfortunately the SD slot for our Universal is located at the bottom.
Also, this device requires the slot to be SDIO capable but I doubt our Universal's slot is. I hope I am wrong though
News: Spected released drivers for WM2005!

Here is pic of Spectec mini GPS in Jasjar

I very interested in it too, but from picture it seems to still protrude pretty considerably. Fear I might snap it. Found some on ebay for around $150, so might get one and see how I fair.
sdg 810
it does not function on jarjar or qtek 9000
somebody has you it in driver for the jarjar
ummm?
didnt think it did either. mobileplanet even specifically states it does not work with HTC PDA's. but wondered/assumed from picture in the link it was operational and not just visual. well, so much for that. probably was a bad idea anyhow. probably should go with BT GPS, but I hate idea of having so many things to charge....BT mono headphones, BT stereo headphones, BT gps, BT keyboard, and the PPC....be nice to have "BT charging technology"....wouldnt that be something.
navicon?
dunno if you guys already read about (navicon), just found out about it on couple posts from early last year. i gonna look into this as gps solution. anyhow, just wanted to share.
Tested this product, but it doesn't work on every PDA with SDIO slot and WM5.0 I tried it with.
Installed the driver, but both the GPS and the card slot refuse to do anything.
The MicroSD (tried several) won't show in the file system, as it prompts for formatting after inserting in the iPAQ hx4700. When I press OK, nothing happens and the card won't show up in the Explorer as well.
The GPS shows up in the GPS list in TomTom Navigator 5 and 6, but when I select it, the program keeps looking for a fix, without success, even after 1 hour.
I tried lots and lots of SDIO devices, but none of them seem to work. It might be a faulty sample I received from Spectec, but until that isn't sure, I say: damn what a 'pain product'.
It may be al late respond, but it works on my hx4700 as a GPS, installed with WM 6.1, only the card reader doesn't. Fast fix and with clear sky 10 satelites. It even receives indoor if you are close enough through a window.
Tomtom 6 has difficulties, but miomap 3.2, IGO 2008 work just fine.
You have to install GPS tweak first, to find the com port. It's com 6, bautrate 38400.
Swaped the SDIO for the Bluetooth model
Spectec was surprizingly helpful when I contacted them about the lack of compatibility with models the GSP SDIO was supposed to be compatible with. They gave me the Bluetooth version which worked with my ipaq 1910 and am now testing with my HTC universal. Theorectically it would work with any BT PDA even without a SD slot.... that is if you could figure out someway to power the thing.
I don't even have a Universal and even I know that it is SDIO compliant... :S
And now???
So, I've got here my NEW Qtek 9000 ready to swich from WM5 to WM6.1 ROM.
Is there anybody can say Spectec SDG-10 is finally WORKING now? (seeing satellites and reading maps on the enbedded microSD)
Spectec-sdg 813
I have a SPECTEC SDG-813 which I have tried with my Wizard (Cingular 8125) and a laptop. I have found that it does not work well with either device. It aquires satellites runs for about 30 seconds then locks up. Which than requires a reboot and repairing with BT.
So it has been very frustrating and SPECTEC support has been very poor. Their inital response to my request for help advised me how to set the device up under BT. I had to resend the message and point out to them that the device is setup and aquiring satellites and then locking up.
I have been waiting to see if there will be any further advice.
Dear Friends,
how much I have understood, this device does not allow to install additional programs. I would like to use it for reading of books (Haali Reader and other such programs). Whether It is possible to install programs somehow there? For example, having changed the system register or having inserted memory card with autorun.
Thank you.
after searching google i found no information that would interest me, so what i would like to know is the following:
-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.

Hi all,
Was wondering, any way I could make Microsoft Autoroute 2007 see the GPS in HD?As most of you know M. A. 2007 has a GPS locator.
Many thanks!!
Interesting question! How did you get AutoRout onto your HD? If you could please let me have an answer to this, I would come back to you.
the question is not to rund AutoRout on the HD but on a notebook using the HD as GPS mouse. You would never get PC software running on a Windows Mobile PDA.

I'm not sure if this might be helpful, but I know the Touch HD GPS is connected to the (virtual) COM4 port.
Yep, I got Microsoft Autoroute 2007 on my laptop, and want to use it with the HD's GPS.
I can't change the COM3 to COM4 in Autoroute, this is so annoying. I googled it but nothing came up, Microsoft sucks!
For my birthday, my wife let me get a Pro2 But I'm having problems installing the Microsoft Reader on it with my Windows 7 laptop. I've not been able to find a cab for it; can you ONLY install this from a desktop, or is there a cab file? I know that Reader is not a fav of WM users, but I have a ton of books in .lit format. Help !
I'm also an avid Microsoft Reader user, for the same reason as you. I installed MS Reader from the exe file on the reader website. I also have a Windows 7 laptop and had no issues at all. What kind of problem are you having?

Thanks for answering! The TP2 just gives me an error message that file install was not being successful. The program does install on my wife's Vista machine (so I guess the problem is solved) but I would like to figure out why it won't install on the Win 7 machine. Like many MS error messages, there isn't enough info provide by the error-reporting mechanism to really triage the problem. This has occurred from day 1 of Win 7, and seems to be the ONLY program that it errors out on.
