Bluetooth GPS units - Amiga and other Evil systems...
« on: September 11, 2007, 01:35:03 AM »
Hi,
Once again I find myself coming back to the most trusted Amiga community in the universe for answers!

So fellow Amigans I ask thee, what be thy experience with bluetooth GPS devices?

Do those tiny bluetooth GPS "mice" (such as those seen all over eBay) actually work?

Are some better than others?

While I want something I can go mobile with along with my PDA, would it also be possible to use a serial bluetooth adapter connected to an Amiga serial port and receive position data from the device in that manner?

If anyone has any experience with any of the above, I'd really like to hear your story.

Thank you in Advance,
AmigaEd

Hmmm... Has no one had experience with these devices?

How about bluetooth on Amiga?

Piru,
That is dissapointing. Is this true for bluetooth adapter on the serial port?

It seems like something like this might appear as a serial port and data could be sent over it as if the gps device was connected via rs-232 cable. Am I totally wrong in my thinking?

I also found this Free2Move adapter.

Oh! I just stumbled upon this information about bluetooth and Amiga on Amigaforever

Best Regards,
