Samsung Omnia as an external GPS device

I was able to use my Samsung Omnia as an external GPS device for Google Earth. I have not checked what other Windows XP based GPS applications will function using this set-up but I’m pretty sure, other Windows Mobile phones with GPS capabilities should do nicely as well. Here’s what you need.

Franson GPS Gate for Windows 2.0 – http://franson.com/gpsgate/guide.asp?section=Google_Earth_GPS_200&platform=winxp

Assuming you are able to get Franson GPS gate to work with your particular Mobile device (GPS Signals and lock should be apparent), installation of the GPS Gate on Windows should be done as well. I forgot where I copied the stuff below so it is unfortunate that I cannot give where credit is due. Don’t forget to visit the link on Franson GPS Gate for Windows which I posted above.

I'll elaborate more on this later on ... 'cause this has something to do with the wardriving stuff I've mentioned.
