I'm ready to start testing a new version with GPS support. So if you have either an external GPS device, or a PDA with GPS built in, it would be great if you'd volunteer to be a tester.

At present, Pocket Stars only supports GPS devices which are accessible via COM ports 1-7.

All volunteers who submit feedback will be rewarded with a free version of Pocket Stars upon release.

I'd offer to beta test the PC version but I don't think my DeLorme GPS would work. While they claim it's NMEA compliant, but it will only work with their products. I never got it working with Mappoint.

I own a hp2210 with BT GPS device (com8 it think).
That counts me "out"?
I use Tomtom3 and OziExplorer with my GPS and they all work flawlessly.

I expanded the COM port range from COM1: to COM12:. Has anyone heard of a useful COM: port outside of this range?

Oops, I'll add in COM12:, but it sounds like CE only supports ports numbered COM0: to COM9:.

The "Windows Location Based Services" is a placeholder for when Microsoft finally enables it's internal GPS or assisted GPS or cell tower triangulation location services.
