Laptop and PPC with ONE GPS BT Receiver?

peterac

Is there a limiation if one wanted to use one BT GPS receiver with a laptop with one SW and a PPC with another SW simultaneously?
(Don't ask why... Rolling Eyes

)

For example: I have Teletype on my laptop and CoPilot Live on my iPAQ with one BT receiver running.

Thanks,
Pete R.

The only BT receiver that can do this is the Emtac Trine - it can accept up to four independent BT connections.

If you can compromise and get by with one BT connection and one wired connection then the Holux 230/231 can provide both at once (provided the BT connection is established) - but I haven't checked it yet on my systems. I believe there are other receivers with the same capability.

Pete,

That seems to be the story - a design "over-sight" when configuring the power saving arrangements, the unit powers down after approx. ten minutes if there is no BT link. The Holux threads in this forum have more details. I intend to test out the operation in the near future once I have finished PC upgrades and moved my mapping applications.

I spoke with someone from GPSCity.com and they told me that this should not be a problem on the GR231. I will let you know when I get my receiver.

Regards,
