GPS Data

[jsstevo]

I've got a H2210 and Socket Bluetooth GPS.

The problem I have is that the software that come with it saves journey info not in a recognised format for importing into MapPoint, Etc.

Does anyone know of a program i can put on the Ipaq to save this info in understandable formats?



Cheers

You may want to take a look at what they have to offer on http://www.gpspassion.com. There are tons of articles and information about just about anything you would want to do with a GPS and your iPAQ.

Good luck.

The bad news is that I don't think you are going to find a relatively universal solution. Most mapping solutions that even have a PPC and Desktop component use a proprietary system of exchanging what info they exchange. A PPC program that saves data, route, waypoint, etc, in a format that Mappoint understands, I don't think exists.

PocketNav as I understand does allow desktop to PPC transfers, within their own programs. The new Delorme Street Atlas Handheld is compatible with their desktop applications as well.

I'm not totally after another bit of PPC software, just a conversion would do. Any ideas?

Still not having much luck to be truthful. I've been searching but still not found anything.

I now understand that (5241.8772 N 120.5954 W) is the lat/long bit but MapPoint will only import this in WGS84 standard (?) which is 52.697265 -1.342208. There must be some simple calculation. I've also linked the Socket device to the PC and the direct data stream coming from it, is the same as the file i posted.
