GPS functionality- a call for details

So if I have a Bluetooth CF card, I can use any Bluetooth GPS with my Jornada?

yes, in theory.

It works for me. As I understood the philosophy of connecting a GPS card or receiver, any Bluetooth GPS shall work. If your BT card supports the serial port mode!

lol, every BT card should support serial port mode. so no problem really

Greetings,

These worked for me.

HPC hardware: MP780
HPC O/S: HPC/PRO
GPS h/w manufacturer: XAiOX
GPS h/w model number: Mobile Crossing BC-307 Compact Flash
GPS h/w driver: No need for drivers. COM port.
GPS/map software: Garmap
Map data source: Delorme Street Atlas 2004

HPC hardware: MP880
HPC O/S: HPC/PRO
GPS h/w manufacturer: XAiOX
GPS h/w model number: Holux GM270 Compact Flash
GPS h/w driver: No need for drivers. COM port.
GPS/map software: Garmap
Map data source: Delorme Street Atlas 2004

Both receivers work interchangeably with the two HPCs. The Holux appears to acquire a lock faster when outdoors, but the Mobile Crossing, though slower, seems to be able to get a more consistent lock when there are obstructions. MC also came with plug-in external antenna.

Thanks for the info, hcl updated

HPC hardware: HP Jornada 720
HPC O/S: HPC2000
GPS h/w manufacturer: Pharos
GPS h/w model number: iGPS-360 receiver with CF adapter
GPS h/w driver: None, select COM port 2
GPS/map software: Microsoft Pocket Streets 2005
Map data source: Microsoft Streets and Trips 2005

NOTE: You must install the PPC-hacked DLLs in the path of Streets and Trips or Windows and select COM port 2 in the GPS configuration menu. Since it's supposedly a PPC application, I had to use the ESC key to exit out of menu items or ENTER to select a menu item because the OK button was not visible. Works great with Nyditot Virtual Display!
