USB iDEN GPS recievers?
I have been wanting to use GPS w/ Netstumbler, but I only have a USB connection to my GPS-enabled Motorola iDEN phone. (It's a Motorlal i730 phone w/ Nextel service.)

I currently have the USB cable for this phone. I am assuming that I have to have the Serial cable for the GPS to work with Netstumbler. One minor problem, my laptop doesn't have any serial ports. Any help?

Get a real GPS.

A USB driver which emulates physical serial ports will work. Others have used them before.

The bigger issue is whether the phone puts out NMEA sentences.
