I just got this in the mail. I was a beta tester, but could not talk about it while testing.

I don't work for them or with them. Just posting because there had been a lot of questions about third party GPS receivers. They work!

I tested with both a GlobalSat bluetooth GPS and with my eTrex. It even worked while running in emulation on my Mac.

Sorry, I had not seen the other post. Must have been working on mine when it was posted.

In any case the text of the email was posted in the other thread as well.

Don't know how to remove this thread...
