Another thing that really surprises me is that the #GPS stuff is driverless on #PocketPC.
I don't really understand why. Cameras, LAN adapters, non BT Keyboards, etc. all require drivers, but not the GPS stuff.
GPS uses the #NMEA standard but i find it hard to believe that support for this was baked into #WinCE.
Whatever the reason its quite convenient!
Also Garmin & Tomtom have navigational software that works on #PocketPC.
Unfortunately I am still trying to figure out how to configure these. Especially with newer maps which I have downloaded but can't figure out where to put them in the programs file structure & get them to integrate properly.
There is a lot of older software that Is easy enough to find, installs & works great though.
Pharos had the OSTIA software & Microsoft had Streets and Trips.
Recently I have been toying around with a lot of the old #PocketPC #GPS stuff.
There are a variety of different ways to connect to a GPS. Some connect via the Compact Flash slot, some are SDIO, some Bluetooth and others through a physical serial cable.
You also have to decide on what GPS software that you want to use and then find compatible maps.
I'm still figuring things out and it is quite finicky but when it works it is surprisingly decent!

Catch of the Day: The Pocket PC Revival! 📟🖋️
Hey Retro Fans!
Today, our FrogFind radar caught a true gem from the early mobile era: Internet Explorer 4.01 on Windows CE (Pocket PC)!
Who doesn't remember the turn of the millennium, proudly pulling a Compaq iPAQ, HP Jornada, or Casio Cassiopeia out of a suit pocket? These devices ran Windows CE, featured resistive touchscreens operated with a tiny plastic stylus, and often boasted a whopping 32 or 64 megabytes of RAM.
The integrated "Pocket Internet Explorer" was a marvel back then, but is completely lost on the modern web. If it encounters even a kilobyte too much of modern JavaScript, the tiny processor immediately gives up. But this is exactly where FrogFind shines! On the classic 240x320 pixel displays of these PDAs, pure, fast HTML is rendered—and suddenly, the internet of 2026 is usable again on hardware from 1999.
Cheers to the saviors of classic PDAs! Keep a close eye on your styluses!
