Windows Phone Thoughts: GPS2Blue Tool to Convert Your GPS PDA into Bluetooth GPS Receiver

"For those who own a Mio A201, I've written, for my own use, a little application largery inspired from GPSRedirect... It allows to redirect GPS data (default: COM2) to the Bluetooth port (default: COM7). Microsoft .Net Compact Framework 2 must be installed. It can be freely downloaded and used, at your own risk, I don't make any support.I've tested it with SiRFDemo on my PC and it works!"



This originally screamed out to me as a W?BIC! capability to me but this could actually be a practical solution for those of you who want to leverage your laptop from time-to-time as the GPS display device (hopefully not while you're driving!). This solution would allow you to leverage your GPS/BT-enabled PDA as the receiver instead of having to invest in another device. Now be forewarned that this is not an officially supported product so while it's free, you'll have to use it at your own risk. Additionally, it was originally written with the Mio 201/701/PDA-N models in mind, though you'll see in the linked thread that some other folks are successfully testing it with other devices as well. Give us your impressions if you decide to give this a whirl!!
