Hello All:

Today's question (one of them anyway): How do you get the built-in GPS of
the Samsung i730 to work with MSPocketStreets 2005? Is this even possible?

Thanks in advance.

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/produc [...] pt_id=2380

and

http://www.pharosgps.com/products/ [...] /PSD80.htm

$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
