Treo 650/680 and GlobalSat 359

[Nif]

Hello -

Has anyone successfully been able to use non-navigational software on their Treo 650/680 and a GPS receiver (mine is GlobalSat 359).

I have loaded OpenDMTP and SPOT software onto my Treo (after having to install J2ME) and while the programs work...

As soon as the power down occurs - which has a maximum setting of 3min - the the program closes, the virtual serial port is disconnected, and no more tracking.

I'm at my wits end. I do not want navigational software - I just want to track myself on the phone (and send the point into to a webserver).

So - has anyone been able to actually keep a virtual serial port (for the bluetooth connection to the GPS) open when the pda part of the smartphone powers down?

Thanks.
