Info/description:
This GPS-PDA utility has several features. It transforms your PocketPC into an external bluetooth GPS receiver, allowing you to use it with your laptop PC or any other device which can use a bluetooth GPS. Since version 1.4, GPS2Blue also allows to redirect GPS data to a TCP/IP port. It can also log to a file the data received from the GPS. Another feature is the PDA clock adjustment based on the precise GPS satellites clock. Finally, for Tomtom 5 (or 6) users, you can create a new POI from coordinates. I've written GPS2Blue for my own use. It is firstly inspired from GPSRedirect... It can be freely downloaded and used, at your own risk, I don't make any support. Microsoft .Net Compact Framework 2 must be installed (note: Microsoft releases .NET Compact Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 which can be easily installed on storage card...). 4 GPS tools in one free utility...
1. Navigate to GPS position with Tomtom 5 (or 6) * Ideal for geocaching.
* Enter the coordinates, they appear in the POI list.
* Add your POI when Tomtom is not running.
2. GPS data logging * Works in NMEA, Raw and SiRF mode.
* Compatibility with GPS intermediate driver; background recording (i.e.: log data while another GPS application is running or works standalone).
* Display GPS status if GID used.
* Smaller file size:
o Filter NMEA sentences.
o On the fly compression of the log files.
* Record position, speed, altitude... Use GPS2Blue as a black-box of your Tomtom (and others) trips.
* Option to turn off PDA's powersaving.
3. Use your PDA as external GPS * Redirect GPS data to your laptop/desktop PC:
o via bluetooth (for bluetooth PDA).
o via TCP/IP (TCP/IP over USB, GPRS or WiFi). You can create, on your PC, virtual COM ports from TCP/IP with HW VSP.
* Enjoy your GPS on a big screen.
* Works in NMEA, Raw and SiRF mode.
* Compatibility with GPS intermediate driver (i.e.: redirect while another GPS application is running or works standalone).
* Display GPS status if GID used.
* Bidirectional (you can for example configure your SiRF based GPS PDA with SiRFDemo directly from your laptop/desktop PC).
* Option to turn off PDA's powersaving.
4. Adjust PDA clock to GPS time * Synchronize your PDA from atomic clock of the GPS satellites.
* Use NMEA sentence.
o RMC: for higher compatibility; use of internal GPS clock if no satellite fix.
o ZDA: a little more precise but requires satellite fix and that ZDA sentences are generated.
* Synchronization follows PDA regional settings.
* Verify checksum if present.
And more... * Reset your SiRF chipset.
* Decipher geocaching hints.
* Option to resume redirection on PDA wake up if the device doesn't do it (for example on FSC Loox N500 with some firmware).
* Start redirection automatically by adding "/autorun" in the command line.
Update Description v1.5:
* Compatibility with Windows Mobile 2003 (already present in 2nd 1.4 version).
* "What is my IP" function improved for GPRS (already present in 3rd 1.4 version).
* Function to decipher geocaching hint.
v1.4:
* Incoming commands and resets work with GID.
v1.3 beta:
* Functions du reset SiRF chipset.
* Option to correct longitude/latitude returned by bugged GID.
* Redirection to TCP/IP, to redirect to PC/laptop without bluetooth... (beta).
More details here.
v1.2:
* When GID is used, red/green LED added (and little more...).
v1.1:
* Option to disable automatic turn off (powersaving) when redirecting/logging.
* Adjust PDA clock to GPS time.
* Bug fixed: corrupt log file if logging not stopped before exiting.
* Browse for a Tomtom map file (.pna) instead of GPS2Blue.bmp (no need to copy manually GPS2Blue.bmp anymore).
* True installation files (.cab or .exe for ActiveSync), no more .zip file (can they be mirrored on the first thread?).
v1.0 :
* On the fly log file compression.
0.9 :
* Tool to add POIs to Tomtom 5.x at specified coordinates.
v0.8 (no public release of V. 0.7) :
* Much better GID compatibility (runs well together with Tomtom, can record car trips...).
* Display of the number of processed bytes.
* Possibility to log without Bluetooth (ie: can turn off redirection).
* Possibility to discard all but GGA, GLL, RMC et VTG sentences in NMEA logging (smaller log files).v0.6
* Compatibility with GID (WM5 server) (I hope...).
* Possibility to log the raw data redirected to bluetooth.
v0.5
* 9600 and 19200 bauds added. (for N560)
v0.4
* Compatibility with landscape mode.
* Small cosmetic changes.
