Looking for: An app. that will turn my Pocket PC into a GPS

[ryd1976]

Hi,

I'm new in this Forum so please excuse me if I posted the following in a wrong room.

I have an iPAQ h2210 which came with a Bluetooth GPS (Leadtek) and navigation app. covering Skandinavia (Route66). That all works great, but...

Now that I have a GPS I would like to take advantage of ALL what such wonderfull piece of equipment can offer.
Basically I'm looking for an app. that can show the same information as a "normal" GPS (Garmin for example):
- Position in various systems (MGRS-New, Latitude/Longitude etc.)
- Altimeter (meters/feet)
- Compas (which direction I'm moving)
- Make and save own waypoints
- Maybe even showing a simple drawing of the world (coastline only). But with no fancy road maps and navigation system since I allready have that.

I know that Garmin offers an add for Pocket PC's wich covers the above. But then you of course have to buy the Garmin CF card GPS ($268) as well. Since I allready have the GPS, this purchase would be....well, insane!
I have downloaded and tried the shareware "GPSDash". This program pretty much covers my needs. But I still think $19 for full funktionality is too much since I don't need the map funktion that GPSDash provides (all ready got Route66 with navigator).

Do you know where to get a "simple" and cheap GPS software for my Pocket PC?
Thanks!

I see you have posted this in the beginners forum too so I'll lock this thread and direct all replies to here.
