BTAudioNav


Redirect your GPS navigator program audio output to any bluetooth handsfree or headset.

This program can be configured to launch by a hardware button or with a link in your favorite program launcher.
What BTAudioNav does:
Turns bluettoth ON it it is currently OFF (Only Microsoft Stack)
Redirects all PDA audio to the car handsfree or tho the byke bluetooth helmet, etc.
Starts the GPS navigation program configured.
If while working a call is received, we can manage the call as usual.
Once the call is ended the audio is redirected again to the handsfree.
When the GPS program is ended, the audio is redirected again to the PDA speaker, the Bluetotoh radio
is turned OFF if it were OFF initially and the program exits.
Configuration:
Copy the BTAudioNav.exe file to the navigation application folder.
Create a link to the navigation application executable in the same folder.
For example, in your desktop, navigate to your mobile device, find the iGo8.exe file, and with the right mouse button select Create link. You can do also wiith copy/paste link in Resco explorer
Rename the link to NavApp
For example, if you have igo8.exe.lnk rename it to NavApp.lnk (maybe you can't see the .lnk extension but it is there).
Start BTAudioNav.exe

GPS2Blue


4 GPS tools in one free utility...

This GPS-PDA utility has several features. It transforms your PocketPC into an external bluetooth GPS receiver, allowing you to use it with your laptop PC or any other device which can use a bluetooth GPS. Since version 1.4, GPS2Blue also allows to redirect GPS data to a TCP/IP port. It can also log to a file the data received from the GPS. Another feature is the PDA clock adjustment based on the precise GPS satellites clock. Finally, for Tomtom 5 (or 6) users, you can create a new POI from coordinates.

1. Navigate to GPS position with Tomtom 5 (or 6)

Ideal for geocaching.
Enter the coordinates, they appear in the POI list.
Add your POI when Tomtom is not running.

2. GPS data logging

Works in NMEA, Raw and SiRF mode.
Compatibility with GPS intermediate driver; background recording (i.e.: log data while another GPS application is running or works standalone).
Display GPS status if GID used.
Smaller file size:
Filter NMEA sentences.
On the fly compression of the log files.
Record position, speed, altitude... Use GPS2Blue as a black-box of your Tomtom (and others) trips.
Option to turn off PDA's powersaving.

3. Use your PDA as external GPS

Redirect GPS data to your laptop/desktop PC:
via bluetooth (for bluetooth PDA).
via TCP/IP (TCP/IP over USB, GPRS or WiFi). You can create, on your PC, virtual COM ports from TCP/IP with HW VSP.
Enjoy your GPS on a big screen.
Works in NMEA, Raw and SiRF mode.
Compatibility with GPS intermediate driver (i.e.: redirect while another GPS application is running or works standalone).
Display GPS status if GID used.
Bidirectional (you can for example configure your SiRF based GPS PDA with SiRFDemo directly from your laptop/desktop PC).
Option to turn off PDA's powersaving.

4. Adjust PDA clock to GPS time

Synchronize your PDA from atomic clock of the GPS satellites.
Use NMEA sentence.
RMC: for higher compatibility; use of internal GPS clock if no satellite fix.
ZDA: a little more precise but requires satellite fix and that ZDA sentences are generated.
Synchronization follows PDA regional settings.
Verify checksum if present.

TomTomStarter


Support program for TomTom Navigator on the Pocket PC.

Do you recognize this problem?
You start TomTom, choose the destination and start driving. At the first junction you notice the voice has a low volume, so you wait till the first traffic light and check the sound volume in TomTom. This is already on the maximum setting! Apparently the system volume is on a low setting. Shit. You park the car, stop TomTom and you find out that the system volume is indeed very low. You put this on a high volume, start TomTom, choose the destination, wait for a connection with the satellites en drive off. Your total delay is 5-10 minutes.

Do you recognize this problem?
You are driving to your appointment and the last part of the route is in an unknown town. You have to concentrate on the traffic and the map and voice of TomTom. Suddenly there is a popup on the screen that reminds your appointment in the agenda. The screen is blocked! You know about this appointment, because you are driving to it! You try to get rid of the popup wile your driving in the town and there is a lot of traffic.

These two problems gave me and a colleague Peter Boot a lot of irritations and as a result I wrote a program to counteract it. This program first puts the system volume on the highest setting and after closing TomTom lowers it to the original setting. Next it starts TomTom and closes all notifications (popups) from the agenda program as long as TomTom is active. Both problems are solved this way. It does not close other notifications like for instance a low power popup.
TomTomStarter operates independently from TomTom and cooperates with all recent versions. It makes no changes to the TomTom software. So it is save to say that any problem with TomTom is not caused by TomTomStarter.
