PDA and GPS

[scottsalisbury]

Hey all,

Wondering if anyone can help me here.

I have the Dell Axim x51 and a BT GPS reciever. I'm wondering if there are free programs available that let me view the longitude/latitude and speed on the PDA.

I want to be able to pass the data into a Java program somehow, for a project I'm doing.

Are there any good programs for this?

Thanks in advance,
Scott.

Edit: I'm also having trouble understanding how to set up my GPS reciever so I need an easy way to test if it is working.

Firstly pair the devices (under settings>connections>Bluetooth).

Once paired, you will need to set up your sat nav software. In TT for example, you'd select Other NEMA, then the port (you should see something like COM4:BT12 and BAUD rate (as per manufacturer of the GPS).

Might help if you could say which Sat Nav program you are using, and the exact error messages shown (no device/no signal etc).
