Use Your 6515 As A BT GPS Unit!
Posted by Jon Westfall in "HARDWARE" @ 03:00 PM
"GPS Redirect is an application for HP IPAQ 6515 that lets you use the GPS built into the IPAQ from an external device over bluetooth. This is useful if you want to run a PC based GPS application on your Notebook PC and use the 6515 as a Bluetooth GPS device."
Well, I can't say I understand quite why you'd want to do this - unless you really want to share your GPS data with another person. Perhaps it would be possible to Geocache with a non-GPS BT-Enabled PPC, but it seems like it would be a lot of hoops to jump through. I suppose you could let your Laptop be GPS enabled with it, but what would you use your laptop for you couldn't use a PPC for in the first place? Anyone really excited to use this? Please share!
