Using the phone's internal GPS on a pc

[bastienvans]

Is it possible to connect the phone with the usb cable and be able to use the internal gps on a pc?

Thanks

Simplest way is to have Garmin Nroute sw on your PC/laptop with Garmin mobile XT on your phone.

But if you have Garmin mobile XT on your phone, why do you want to tie it your PC? Get a BT GPS reciever and release your phone for other stuff! :)

If you can use Blue Tooth instead of USB, GPS2Blue works great.
I have a Tilt, and I use Delorme and Streets and Trips on my lap tops. The GPS locks on much faster than my USB GPS.
I love it!

This would probably work. Give it a try and let us know.

GPS2Blue looks great! Thanks for the tip.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it working. I know I need to add a com port under the bluetooth settings on the Kaiser, but this option is not available given my existing partnerships with several PCs. I.e.. no option to add com port is available, only blank list.

Is there something I can do to make the com port available?

Can I configure without setting up a com port on the device?

Very cool functionality can be accomplished here. Using GPSgate from www.franson.com I have successfully setup the following.


A completely mobile solution.


PPC ---Bluetooth----LAPTOP---- INTERNET---www.gpsgate.com
| \---DATA(EDGE)--/
GPS
|
DATA


www.gpsgate.com is a website that displays your current gps information.

***The PPC sends GPS and fowards internet to the LAPTOP which then sends the GPS information to a remote site, www.gpsgate.com***

Very good workaround. I was thinking at first, what is the point of this thread as you can have a GPS mapping program on your phone. Then I thought, not every location is covered by the GPS maps available..and, Google maps are free and cover virtually everywhere and look better on a PC/Laptop.

Great work guys!! :)

I downloaded gps2blue 1.8, installed and running application. I checked BT button and then clikc on On and trying to find gps on laptop but does not work. what am i missing?

I just managed to get this going with my Kaiser over TCPIP using GPS2Blue & HW VSP. MS Streets & Trips 2008 sees it as a GPS and reads the data. Pretty cool...
