[Q] GPS for Archos IT

Do anyone have idea for connecting Archos IT device to WM for using GPS function of WM.

I am thinking that it should be possible that Archos IT using BT to connect to WM phone to get the coordination and display the map in Android.

I don't know whether this is such application already available in the market, the simplest way I can think of is using some application in WM to generate the coordination to a file, and Android app will get such file from WM to get the coordination. Any idea?

thank you for your page. I am using WM phone instead of android phone, also I can't find any app in that page.

But from your page, I got some idea that WM phone can be act as a GPS receiver, and I found that there is a wm app call GpsGate that can turn WM phone into a Bluetooth GPS receiver. I have already installed the GpsGate, and will try to try it out tonight.

GPS gate is ok but phone GPS isn't great and you may want to tether as well.

BT GPS is cheaper than the software (software works but my globslsat bt-359 is so much better).

I use the GPSGate is not because of the cost issue. If my mobile phone can become a gps receiver, I don't need to bring one more device to go outside.
