The PAN service can support a local network of up to 7 units. If one of the units on this local
network is a Internet Access Point the full Internet can be browsed directly from the WayPoint
tm
PDA. Thus a WayPoint unit could use the PAN network and a GPS serial connection to provide
simultaneous access to the GPS device and an internet connection. This would permit Traffic
Watch, for example, to be collecting live data while the WayPoint program is tracking your
current location.
