UMPC Moving Map Software with Bluetooth or USB GPS


Chris C. asks:
quoteI would like to use ExpertGPS with a Samsung Q1 and a usb gps. Are there any usb gps units that are compatible with this software. I’m trying to use the q1 as a moving map. Thanks!quote

You can use the Tracking feature in ExpertGPS to create a moving-map display on any laptop or tablet running Windows. Some tablets have internal GPS receivers that output NMEA data. For others, you can add a serial, USB, or Bluetooth GPS antenna.

There are so many GPS mouse antennae on the market – I don’t keep track of them. Any GPS that outputs NMEA data to a virtual COM port will work with the Tracking feature in ExpertGPS to create a moving-map display on your Samsung UMPC.

Here’s one example of a USB GPS Mouse antenna that lists NMEA output.
