Navation GPS 168 On A Viewsonic g Tablet?

[wjd2]

I have a g tablet rooted and running TNT 4.0. I would like to be able to use the maps, navigation and other GPS dependent apps but have no blue-tooth devices to connect to...BUT I do have a GPS receiver that was purchased along with MicroSoft Streets and Trips 2010 - a Navation GPS 168 which connects via a USB connection. Is there any way that this receiver can be made to work on the g Tablet?

I bought a Bluetooth GPS unit on eBay for $18. Works!
Now, I need offline maps...

I haven't tried this myself yet because I'm a little behind you (still deciding upon a GPS unit) but in researching I came across this: True offline maps for your Android - unplugged ! | MapDroyd that you might want to look into.

I've only see it work with bluetooth.

How do you make it work with bluetooth?

Assuming you have a separate BT GPS device skip the part about enabling your phone, unless that is what you want. Otherwise read this thread: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...0-bluetooth-gps-g-tab-skymap-nav-working.html

Thanks PB, this will come in handy for my trip to Vegas soon, now if I can just get the gtab to play netflix movies.

if you are running CM7 it is supposed to be working. It isn't worth me giving up my honeycomb to try it
