Best Freeware ever! (I'm still working on the postcard from Venezuela)this is a piece of art! has everything I need! excellent UI. Works flawless on my Zire 72 + Holux 236 Bluetooth.

I have a Lifedrive and a Tomtom Bluetooth GPS and this Software works perfectly! I love the Map function.

It works like a charm with my Treo650 & nokia LD-3W. Thanks!! It is not stable sometimes, but overall very nice application.

I can not get it to remain connected with Palm LifeDrive. The application works great and has all the function I need for about 1-6 minutes and then it looses the fix and will not regain a fix without a soft reset of the LifeDrive. This makes tracking impossible.

Thanks Thomas, your software works fine with my zire 31 + kirrio and it really completes my gps solution. I would like to use cotogps for road navigation too.

Other than patchy Treo650 buttons support, this is an excellent GPS application. I have it along with TomTom for all my GPS needs on my TREO650.
Plusses (many, I'll just cite 2):
1. faster/more reliable connection with BT GPS than TomTom Navigator.
2. tracks/markers easily saved to be later posted to Google Maps.
This is excellent sw (except for the minor inconvenience cited above); don't miss the forest for the tree.

On a Treo no way to exit the program. The buttons do not lauch the standard apps.

Excellent Program. It works better than any pay program I have seen out there. I can't wait to try to synch it with the desktop utility and then google earth. Excellent program, expect a postcard from me soon

That's a really good piece of software ! Everything you need for geocaching, and even more. Desktop utility to view track in 2D and 3D, export to Google Earth.... Work like a charm with BT Holux GS236. Thanks Thomas !

Great program!! It would be great if there was a geographic database of all of the timezones in the world, the off-set from UTC, and whether they recognize daylight saving time (including the start and end dates). Then your program could reference the database against the user's registered location and change the time in the receiver (in my case a Garmin iQue3600).

Excellent program. It connects to my Bluetooth GPS without any problem. Verry nice software!! It does it all (but making coffee :) )
***** [May 17, 2005] by Pierre G
Just excellent ! I looked for commercial products a while before finding this freeware better than every paying software. One sugestion : Add the possibility to record tracking while PDA is off with record every minute or longer.

Very nice soft, I use it for telemetry of a flying RPV by means of a radio modemed Lassen SQ Trimble GPS. A great THX to Thomas fernando

Thanks. An outstanding piece of software. Kudos to the developer. I've been using this for quite a while in my Tungsten-T5 and i-Trek BT receiver and it just work perfectly. Highly recommended and one of the best compared to commercial software. I like this better than my other GPS which I've been using for 5 years. Suggestion for enhancement though is to add a route capability, track back feature and to power-on a device longer than default settings of the unit.

Thanks, I like this app. very much :) But this ver. of cotoGPS makes crash in my T3(Os5.2) & Vx(Os3.5) :(
***** [Nov 9, 2004] by Frank
This software packs in almost all you get in commercial software !! great feature list ! works better than CASL based stuff, which crashes way too often. It would be cool to even have radio amateur QTH locators and display with huge fonts while driving a car.

It's work very good with my SJ33. I used external GPS receiver when I go to work everyday. Thank you very much

Very nice software in my T2 and Emtac bluetooth GPS. Small but powerful.
***** [May 3, 2003] by UHF
A fantastic app in progress. Works fine with my Tungsten and Emtac Bluetooth GPS. I hope Thomas continues with this and perhaps a colour, hi-res version will come out?
***** [Dec 16, 2002] by gueichein
Just a very good program for the palm and gps funs, light and full, integrating the features of more than one commercials... Thanks, Thomas.
