I have not been able to find an aswer to this question: Is it possbile to use the Moguls internal GPS reciever and Garmin Que GPS software?
I have a legal version of Garmin que 2.9 software on my Mogul. However, it wants to use the Bluetooth (gps 10) receiver for its connection. i would like it to connect to the internal GPS though. I have been able to get TomTom software on the Mogul to connect to the internal GPS. But not my Garmin Software. I have seen Directions for using MobileXT and the internal GPS. But I do not like that GPS interface nor TomToms.
So, if anyone knows of a way to get the Garmin Que software to use the Moguls internal GPS...please..please..please post an how to. I hate having to use the bluethooth GPS or Mobile xt or Tomtom.
Thanks!

can you change the port the software wants to use? I think com 4 or something...
you could use gps gate....
launch gps gate... setup virtual com say 5... make sure gpsgate catches sats....
tell the software to use com 5
that is what I have to do with iguidance..
but once setup..
you launch gpsgate then launch software immediately... wait for signal...
no biggie...
Garmin Mobile XT
I use Garmin Mobile XT.
it is a great software. I have also used Sprint Nav and it works pretty good also.
I like them both.
what is the difference between mobile XT and que?

We're trying to get a BlueTooth GPS device to work with an XDA II & TomTom Navigator 2 Software...
(Thread in XDA II forum)
Currently it won't and the direction we're being pointed is a fault with the TomTom software.
So in order to prove/disprove this, is there any mapping or speed camera software for a PDA that works with a BlueTooth GPS device (such as the EMTAC BTGPS) that anyone knows of?
(Excluding TomTom software of course)
Thanks
Alternatively, anyone got an iPaq/Loox & a BT GPS device?
Can you get THIS piece of software working on it?
I have an i-Blue 737 BT GPS. I have it set up for COM2 and I can not get it to work correctly. I have tried it with GPS Tuner, GPS Gate, OziExplorer, iGuidance and Google Maps and it will not work with any of them. The only program it works with is Tom Tom 6. I had each program set to look at COM2. Any ideas?
What are you running? (Hint: if it's not WM6, you're posting in the wrong forum)
Have you got it set as an incomming or outgoing port?
Same hardware working fine
I have an iMate JasJam with exactly the same GPS which I purchased today.
In conjunction with WM6 Black & Tomtom 6 it is working fine.
It is appearing on COM0:
tomtom is well known for hogging gps all for itself and not letting anything else play.
Head to the forums at pocketgpsworld.com
to use my Pharos GPS I had to open an outgoing port on the 8525 bluetooth section I think com9 before it would talk to the gps.

What do you mean? Do I need to buy a TomTom too? I was thinking of using Google Maps, so I don't need any software.
Also, where could I find a list of devices with that chipset? Or does someone have a specific recommendation?
Google maps is indeed free, and does utilise GPS, however, relies on an internet connection do download its map content (which could turn out expensive, and an internet connection isn'y always availible). Furthermore, if you are looking for Sat-Nav, then Google maps isn't really that suited to prompting you as you travel, whereas TomTom is specifically designed for the purpose.
If you want a software that
- is free,
- does not need a data connection and
- can use almost any maps you want to use,
have a look at TrekBuddy.
It´s a Java program and should run fine on the Wizard. I already tried it on my cell phone and my WM2003 PocketPC.
It uses maps that are downloaded from the www and stores them on the sd card in small "tiles", so you can create your personal set of maps with the regions you need and the scale(s) you prefer. The "tiles" are stored in .png format, so you can put a lot of stuff on the sd card.
Okay, it is not a navigation system, but can be useful e.g. for trekking and other outdoor activities like geocaching or storing city maps.
Regards, C.
I have one I have enjoyed using
I have a i.Trek Z1
It's bluetooth of course and the other cool thing is it also can charge while in use by way of solar power. It flips apart to show a Solar panel. It runs for days without charging at all but its nice to know if your driving you can just leave it on your dash and know its still charging.
Cheers,
Chris
Wow I like the solar power idea. I personally use a Microsoft streets and trips gps reciever. It comes with the software that you buy. I put that on my laptop,and I use the gps reciever with Google maps. It works flawlessly. I drive around three thousand miles a month so I really use it alot.
Greeting to all sifus.
i just installed garmin mobile xt version 4.10.40wp in my atom exec and have a non garmin bluetooth device (nokia LD3W). I would appreciate if any of the sifus can guide me on how to enable garmin to run using non garmin bluetooth receivers and the configuration that needs to be done.
try to pairing it with bluetooth
i'm using non garmin bluetooth reciever, and its working with out problem
i managed to pair the device with bluetooth but not able to get garmin xt to use the bluetooth device.
GPSProxy
Hi
I think the newer version (5) of Garmin XT works with non-Garmin GPS units.
With the older version I suspect you need to use GPSProxy
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpsproxy/
or you could try it using the program: GpsGate
I have a navitech(not sure lol) with a sirf star iii chip and it works quite well.
perhaps a newer version of garmin xt will work, mine is v4.5
we know that we can realize navigation in gtablet by connecting GPS model~
but I wonder whether we can realize navigation in gtablet by connecting a garmin GPS(my garmin GPS type is 295w) by using the usb port?
thanks~
i dont think so garmins gps is not set up to share its gps data over usb or bluetooth. you best bet is to get a bluetooth gps unit and use bluegps on the gtab to get navigation they modules run about 20-60 dollers for most and work just great.
Garmins don't work. I have two and neither will share their gps signal.

Actually Garmin gpsr's do share their signal via usb. I have used my gpsmap 60csx with my wndows laptops using garmin software Nroute and their mapping software. I am still looking for a method to use it with android.

But doesn't that require that the software can read the usb signal? I haven't found anything on android that will do this.
I went with a Tom Tom Navigator 6 gps unit (approximately the size of a pack of gum) and BlueGPS on the tablet. It works a little strange since you pair to the gps unit but it never "connects". It just appears in the BlueGPS service and it available to all the gps enabled apps on the g-tab.
I also use Tomtom Bluetooth GPS with CoPilot live 8.
Works great.
Although to answer OP's question about USB connection:
Viewsonic ROMs based on 1.1 version didn't have much of USB functionality.
Now, with 1.2 version released there is more USB support, as keyboard and mouse and several others.
I do not have 4391 installed yet, so cannot try it out.
Maybe someone else running recent ROM can try to connect USB based GPS and let us know?
I'm looking into gettin garmin_gps module for my CM9 galaxy i9000 running 3.0.8-g4cf4918.
anybody has any hint on how to build the module? thanks a lot
