GPS Software

#1 (**permalink**) 03-11-2005, 11:51 AM

I have a GPS received with i want to use with a PDA and TomTom, however i can't get my hands on the PDA until late next month and i want to test the GPS receiver to make sure it works OK.

Is there any software available that i can use on a laptop to test the receiver, i'm not looking for full programs like Autoroute or Copilot, just a small program what will maybe show how many sat it is picking up and there position.

Many Thanks

You can download Sirf Demo that will allow you to connect, not 100% if it supprts a bluetooth connection as i only did it via cable. Also check out www.pocketgps.co.uk
