The solid arrows indicate the flow of information between devices. The GeoExplorer
2008 series handheld can output GPS data to client devices that connect to the
handheld using a Bluetooth serial port. When a laptop computer or office computer
connects to the GeoExplorer 2008 series handheld and selects the File Transfer service,
files and information can be exchanged to and from either device.
When a client device connects to the Serial Port service provided by the GeoExplorer
2008 series handheld, applications on the handheld can use the pre-defined host serial
port on COM9 to provide host services to the client device. For example, to provide
GPS positions from the integrated GPS receiver to another device, use the GPS
Connector software to redirect the NMEA or TSIP output to COM9.
