Connecting my PDA/GPS combo to a bigger screen..

darthpaul

Anyone ever tried this?

Is it even possible?

I'd like a dashmounted 6" LCD screen ideally.

It is possible if your PDA has VGA out.
Current models with such feature include Toshiba (e744/8xx), Fujitsu (7xx), Axim (X50v).

I thought that generally these VGA outs only worked with software that supported them - bascially just presentation software. If you read reviews that seems to be the case anyway..

Are there any PocketPC emulators for PCs that could run an app like TomTom and a GPS mouse?

I've been playing around with the 'community preview' of Microsoft's Device Emulation Platform. This seems to be what I'm after..

If I had a touch screen LCD montior I could control the PC (running a PocketPC emu and Tomtom) with my finger, in the same manor as I control TT with my stylus.

If I did get PPC with a VGA out, I'd still need to use the stylus on the PPC not the monitor.

It's not very quick though, this emulator. :S

Just to show you a piccy of TT running on that emulator...
