I've downloaded this software because I was curious, even though it doesn't say that it supports the Touch. I really like what I see so far, even though I haven't gotten it to work. I am interested to see if anyone can get it to work with the touch and if they can access the GPS information from the Touch. I don't have the GPS enabled because I'm still on the sprint stock rom with wm6, but I shouldn't even worry about whether the GPS works, because I can't even connect to my Touch yet.



EDIT: unfortunately I found this in the User Guide:
"Currently, the Sprint SmartView software does not support GPS receivers in phone handset devices."
