Bluetooth to an external GPS

[The Zune Lune]

Is there a way to tether the Omnia (Bgill's CF03 ROM) to an external GPS via Bluetooth? I am using a TomTom 730 and would like to get their traffic services utilizing the data plan on my phone.

I am one of the few who has crummy GPS on my Omnia and I am tired of trying to fix it.

I don't know about an actual GPS unit, but I use this: http://www.holux.com/JCore/en/produc...nt.jsp?pno=340

I just pair it, and then go into the bluetooth menu, and choose COM PORTS, make an outgoing port using the GPS, then setup my GPS software to use that COM port. If you can pair your phone to the GPS and make an outgoing port with it, it might work.

I used a Garmin Bluetooth puck b4 the cc20 build for the Omnia i910. If you are on Verizon, It won't work with the TomTom line. The plans don't play well togeather. Don't know why. Sorry. Bgill's 6.5 v1.9CF build is stable, fast, looks good and the GPS works fine on all the different software I'vew got on my Omnia. I use Garmin MobieXT because it works with my Outlook Contacts. I have 1104 contacts and if there is a valid address for a contact, the Garmin will take me there. I also use GreenFinderGPS and GPS radar in the TitaniumWeather. Google Maps and Bing, They all work great. Hope I was of some help.

I think I am one of the few with a bum GPS chip in my Omnia. It didn't function well enough to b reliable, so I defaulted to a TomTom external (sigh.) I am holding out now until the next wave of smartphones come out next year. GPS on the phone is a real bonus, but there is a lot to be said fr the nice big screen on the dashboard and the quick POI searches. I was hoping to get the Omnia and TomTom to tsalk to each other so I could use their traffic services, but alas, foiled again.
