gps receivers

I wanna get a PDA (with Windows Mobile) with Bluetooth and then use a Bluetooth GPS receiver with it. The problem is, I don't know which ones would work with Windows Mobile. I feel like I'd be able to just get a receiver and then get the software for the PDA that is Windows compatible, but I don't know if GPS receivers are only compatible with certain software. Or does it depend on the receiver? Any ideas? Any help? Thanks!

Hi Mate,

May be this will help. I am listing two applications here that contain information about the compatible Windows Mobile Devices and bluetooth recievers these applications work with. You can check if your desired Windows Mobile device is listed there and then you can purchase the desired device, bluetooth reciever and the application accordingly.

This is a demonstration of my GPS receiver that I will be using for my UAV project.

I have heard that all GPS receiversalso have a high frequency transmitter and the receiver body itself acts an antenna and the ID and location of the receiver are continuously being tracked by GPS master control station though the sattelites.

The satellites could give a hoot about your location, or any other location of a GPS receiver. The systems that can track your location, like Onstar for example, get their location from satellites, then using an internal database, transmit this data to a specified location (Onstar control center)

Small portable design. 2.25" x 2.25" x .75". Works anywhere in the world

This question came to me as I was searching for a portable navigation GPS for my car. I wondered as I researched products why some offered WAAS while others did not. So I found myself wondering what the acronym meant and how having or not having it would affect the product's performance.

WAAS stands for Wide Area Augmentation System.

Basicaly, atmospheric conditions will reduce the accuracy of the GPS satellite signal. At any given time the best resolution from a standard GPS will be a position to within 30 ft. This is great for the average user, but a big disaster for critical users like aircraft.

Enter WAAS. To compensate for the 30ft grey area, ground stations are set up at hyper-surveyed locations. they beam their known position to different satellites, these rebroadcast the positions to WAAS enabled recievers, and the difference is mostly eliminated, producing accuracy to within 4ft.

For WAAS to work, you need to be in view of both the GPS and WAAS sattelites. There are currently only 2 WAAS satellites over the continential US, so for a car or handheld unit, WAAS accuracy is only available when you have a completely unobstucted view of the sky. This is likely to improve in the future.

I doubt it

as yet there is no proof either way that the radio energy generated by a mobile causes any health problems. theres lots of scare stories, theres been a few hints and mumblings but no proof either way. I think it would be foolish to expose anybody to any unecessary form of radio energy, especially if they are young. I wouldn't want to use a mobile phone for an extended period of time

a GPS receiver is receiving a very very faint signal from a series of satellites, its a very low power signal. but the difference is you will be receiving that signal irresepctive of whether you have a GPS, whether its switched on or whether you don't have a GPS.. because the GPS signal is broadcast repeatedly. If you are concerned about radio energy broadcast then concern yourself about satellite TV, or even terrestial TV and radio.

A gps transceiver however is transmitting a signal back to another antenna, that will undoubtedly be potettially more risky than a receive only GPS unit as you are transmitting a signal back to somewhere.

oddly enough the broadcast media haven't run any scare stories about the perils of electro magnetic radiation from TV or radio.. wonder why that might be
