I used to have the 8525 and used the Globastat GPS receiver with Telenav before I got my Tilt. 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: gps Dec 17 2007, 10:48 PM EST Should work with a BlueTooth GPS receiver. I don't have one myself by according to other posters, there is a general problem with BlueTooth but seems to be mostly with headsets. No, there is no USB to MicroSD adapter to allow you to use your existing GPS puck. I have the Pharos/Microsoft one too. I did have a CompactFlash adapter for the puck for my old PPC (Asus A620) but I have been unable to find a wired adapter. There are BlueTooth adapters available on eBay for these pucks. It has its own battery to power the puck and transmit via BlueTooth. with shipping and all, it comes out to be as expensive as a whole unit. Search on eBay for "Pharos bluetooth". BUT, if you wait a bit, we should be getting an update to enable the already included GPS chipset: http://www.america.htc.com/support/mogul/software-downloads.html "Additionally, HTC is currently developing a separate ROM update which enables the EV-DO Rev. A and GPS capabilities that are already built into the Mogul hardware. Sprint and HTC plan to make this software ROM available in early 1Q 2008. Please bookmark this page for easy reference. Posted November 29, 2007" If Bell doesn't make this update available to Bell clients, we should make some NOISE! Do you find this valuable? |

I'm not sure if this will work for, say, TomTom software, but you may not need an external GPS anymore. Hopefully this comes out soon for my 6900! Do you find this valuable? |
