Hi Phil, can you write files in your Pocket with .NET?? 
I think that you can read then with flash. 

Another idea it's to make some .NET webform that replys with the GPS data, 
Flash can make an getURL command that reads from the .NET web page in you 
Pocket, but I donĀ“t know how you have to configure the pocket to works with an 
Internet Server.

Asunto: [Flashcoders] Reading GPS data into Flash on a Pocket PC?

Hello All --

I am desperately trying to figure out how to read GPS data into Flash on a 
Pocket PC. I have a bluetooth GPS unit and a Pocket PC running Windows Mobile 
5.0. Here is what I've tried:

1. Found a couple of .NET Compact Framework .dlls for Windows Mobile. These 
have methods for connecting to GPS devices and reading location data. I 
installed .NET CF on the Pocket PC and I tried using Zinc 2.5 to connect to the 
.dlls but with no luck. Later I found out that Zinc for Pocket PC supports 
Windows Mobile 2003, but not later versions such as 5.0.

2. There is an article on the Adobe Flash developer's site about a GPS/Pocket 
PC project called "Invisible Ideas". The project was done by writing a C++ 
application that would read the GPS data from the serial port. It would 
communicate with Flash via an XMLSocket connection. Unfortunately, the article 
provides no information about the C++ side of things (not that it would help 
much as I am not a C++ or .NET developer).

I am now trying to think of other methods for accomplishing my goal. Any ideas? 
Does anybody know of someone who has succesfully accomplished the same thing?


Best Regards,


-- Phil
