Combining GPS Receivers

Featured Replies

I'm looking at Bluetooth GPS receivers to use TomTom on a Pocket PC. But in the future I'm going to get an Origin B2/RoadAngel (something along those lines).

It struck me that with both devices I'll have two GPS receivers running. Is there any way of having just one - to hopefully cut down on cost and unnecessary clutter?

You probably can, but it depends on many things and the complications to get it working may be more hazardous than duplicating some hardware.

If you were to try this, One of the devices would need to have a serial output for GPS and the other an input.

If you really want a bluetooth tomtom, I'd stick to the wireless bit of tomtom and the all-in-one of the origin b2. :)

Origin were meant to be doing a cradle for the b2 which had a serial cable to connect to a palm pilot/pocket pc.

I have the TomTom Go & Road Angel 2 but use the two receivers.

There are two possible options:

Get the Speed Camera's POI add on for the TomTom S/W.

or

The Road Angel 2 will output NMEA Data which can be used to interface with a Laptop or PDA running routing S/W.
