Samsung i730 & PocketStreets GPS - work?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

If you are referring to the GPSONE system on the qualcomm chip, you don't
get to access the data.

There is an SDIO GPS called Pharos that I know works with MS Pocket Streets
2002 on the i700.

You might be able to get a blue tooth GPS device going, but I don't know if
that will work with that specific software.

Chance:

I found the device you mentioned:

http://www.mobileplanet.com/product.asp?pf_id=MP730970&...

and

http://www.pharosgps.com/products/phone/Samsungi700/PSD...

$200 is a little pricey and the unit might be inconvenient sticking out of
the side of the i730.

Now that I think about it, I guess that the cell phone GPS most be a
"transmitter" while the GPS devices used for mapping applications must be
"receivers".

It looks like "socket" has a bluetooth product like you suggested for only
$150
