Do you really need the translation to Garmin format or do you just want to share the GPS by several apps?
(Note: WM5 is capable of sharing the GPS between multiple apps)

Ok, after quite a few months, someone must have succeeded in getting gpsproxy to work on universal.
I haven't!
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpsproxy/
I always get "failed to load virtualcomport driver" error. Long long time ago, I somehow made it working on virtualcomport=0, but garmin que can't read this port.
Can someone help me on this?

Work perfectly for me. Use the latest version (1.16), set com4 in the first tab to connect to gps( set you gps output port to be com4 also in bluetooth app), set port 8 in the last tab(virtual com port number). Close the prog.
Fire your registry editor,
got to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\drivers\RegisteredDevice and delete BTD_COM8
Soft reset with a software (not the button, or modifications will be lost, or wait 10 minutes before reseting)
Launch gpsproxy again
You sould now see COM8: GPSProxy Virtual com port. If you see Com8:? it will not work. Set com8 in application tab, set your GPS Unit ID and get the best unit you can think of (except it doesn't have integrated gps).
If your gps was set on com8, invert the com 4 and 8 from my instructions.

also note that the gps must be on and in range when you launch the proxy or it will not work (error 55)

Wow man, thanks a lot! After three months, I finally got it working!
Although, I often get "failed to load virtual com port ...", but it seems that soft reset helps.
Thanks again, I owe you one :wink:

You are are the same place than other PDA. The writer of gpsproxy is thinking about a full rewrite to solve this. You will get this error if you turn off the pda without turning off the proxy.

Yeah, I'm following the progress of gpsproxy and version 2.0. I read the whole thread on bargainpda site, but didn't find good solution for my problem. Well, you solved it.
About the error, I close program correctly. First stop and then exit.
