Your N95 can be used as a bluetooth GPS device. For your PDA, laptop, etc etc.

So now we just need TomTom to pick up on the signal and it's a touch down! 😊

A virtual com port mapped to the GPS that supports standard gps codes would do it but I dount thats going to happen anytime soon.

I already emailed the makers of the external GPS patch about it. If anyone would do it, they might. But Im not hopeful tbh, not much incentive for them really. They did the external GPS thing for free.
