Remote Display Control for Pocket PC

[olly]

Okay, not strictly Navman, but the forum's been quiet for a while and if you use an Ipaq this is a great tool to have. It allows you to control your ipaq from a PC - I use it to enter favourites as milestones before a journey.

and scroll down to "Remote Display Control for Pocket PC".



It's not particularly self evident but if you put the mouse over the screen image on your PC anything you type will appear on the ipaq. Magic!

Remote DSP is good, for anyone who wants to go further there's a product I use called Nydiot's Virtual Display which allows you to have a skin on your desktop of a photo of an iPAQ or other Pocket PC, and within the screen area you get the remote control display of the Pocket PC (looks kinda snazzy). It also is slightly more reliable. Remote DSP is perfectly good for the occasional use, but I find Nydiot's Virtual Display better when you want to do that little bit extra, like even running up a command prompt to the Pocket PC.

I have been away for a couple of weeks and am just catching up. You should have a look at this if you are not already aware. I have found it really useful.
