Please don't waste your time with this...the hardware in the referenced PPC is a proper GPS chip, as compared to the a-gps function available in our 6700. It is possible to retrieve info such as latitude, longitude, and elevation from our a-gps enabled device (as long as you're in an area that supports this feature.) This information (in theory) could be sent via a soft-gps to a program such as tomtom, but I assume that accuracy would be terrible. For those interested in tinkering, take a look at windows\fieldtrial.exe on your 6700. You can see GPS stats however, I believe this only works for Verizon devices. Good luck.
