Hi Experts,

I recently purchased a HTC Touch Cruise, it a great phone, and I like all features, what I want to know is if we can use the HTC touch Cruise GPS as a Bluetooth Receiver for my laptop which has Microsoft Streets & Mapps installed.
I have 2 Laptops 1 is HP (office) and the Other is Sony Viao UX series which i have put in a car. I do not waht to buy a seperate BT GPS receiver for my Viao while on road, will like to use my Touch Cruise for that.......:cool:

Did any one of you try doing this before???:confused::confused:

Any help will be highly appreciated. :D

I'm also be very interested :D
But it looks like there's no chance for it without a 3rd party app... :(
