Thats what I thought. Well, hoped. Will see what I get back from the email, but tbh Im not hopeful. Still, if anyone can they might.

Im not sure what would give them incentive though. They produced the external GPS patch and offer it free. Im very sure theres money in a patch for tomtom, but I somehow doubt they will do it.

You gotta wonder how many donations someone like Samir could get from a patch to integrate the internal GPS with TomTom...

And the exposure- remember how much traffic that GPS midlands site got with the TomTom patch hoax?

Yep. And the ****s premuim rate phone line. Im quite willing to pay for a patch. And donate if he starts work on it. As are many others I daresay. Might just ask Samir about it, though Im sure hes got enough on his plate. Still....whats his webby addy?

If you guys use Phonetinfo, it will give you the BT address, make it alot easier to confige.

Alot of older phones and devices do not accomodate an internal GPS receiver - To use maps/GPS softwares on the devices, they often require an external GPS module

Using this software allows your N95 to imitate the position of being an external GPS module, which can be connected via bluetooth to pretty much anything with the compatible requirements

No need to apologise.

It allows another device, say a laptop or PDA to use the N95's built in GPS function.

You can use the GPSInfo utility from here.

Works great with my N800. Tethering the 3G connection and the GPS from the N95- MaemoMapper worked fantastically. :)

Slung the GPS signal over to the N82 as well.
