Livewire and BT GPS

[dejongj]

A friend of mine has purchased Copilot 3.5 with the annual subscription to Livewire. I must admit that without any TMC alternatives (Although Alturion is on the horizon) it is an absolutely fantastic solution. Definitely a very mature setup.



What I was wondering whether it is possible to have two bluetooth connections from the Pocketpc so that a bluetooth GPS receiver can be used in combination with the bluetooth phone required for livewire?



Has anyone got any experience with this?



Cheers,

Hi



Yep. Thats my set up. An emtac BT with a T68i connected via BT to my IPAQ.



You can set it up to use dialup, but I would reconmend GPRS for the connection. I find that the download is very small for an average journey, and it depends on how many times you manually check for traffic or reroute.



The only problem I find is that the 'I' sometimes turns to yellow which means it had a problem accessing the site to download from, and it gets stuck. The only way to get it working is to shut down CoPilot and restart it.

So in short Domlof you are another happy bunny with Copilot and livewire, little (big?) bugs aside...



Looks like I am going that way now...just have to be strong to wait for the HP 5500 series in July/August with PocketPC 2003.....I want it now...
