I just found this killer app :), but has anyone managed to connect to the build in GPS receiver? I've gone through the "About..." screen where it says "Com ports: USB1" but nothing happens when typing "comm:USB1" in the "Enter manual...". Anyone managed this?

Hi Gungner,

The C702's internal GPS isn't accessible via the COM ports, it instead uses the Java 'Location API', for which I've compiled a specific version (not yet available on the download page). I've had reports of some success from another user who has been testing this, I'll e-mail it to you off-list...

Cheers,
Stephen
