Hi all,

Does anyone have a bluetooth gps system working with an n-gage, or know if
one will work?

I'm looking for a gps device at the moment and was thinking about getting a
PDA, but if the n-gage can cope with it then that'll save me a few pennies.

GH.

If you google "ngage gps" you'll get a zillion hits and some of the early
ones are useful.

One in particular that I think will be helpful for you is
<http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6356>.

Seems that the ngage uses the Symbian OS on the phone section and so can run
most if not all Symbian apps. I didn't check all of the ones listed in the
gpspassion link but the first one indicated specifically that it supports
ngage, so it's definitely doable.

I have no idea how well it works, but the feature set sounds nice.

Thanks John.

I did use google, but there were so many hits and I'm not really sure what
works, so I thought someone could point me in the right direction.

I believe he was asking about GPS (Global Positioning System), not GPRS
(General Packet Radio Service).

Don't know about n-gage, but I am using a Fortuna GPSmartBT bluetooth GPS
receiver with PowerNavigation on my 7610, and it works well.
