Many of you are familiar with the Franson GpsGate product for splitting your GPS stream to multiple applications. But did you know GpsGate comes in a PDA/Smartphone version as well? Franson has also released a free position reporting service at www.gpsgate.com.

When you combine the two together you have the ability to now send position updates to the SpotterNetwork from your PDA or SmartPhone via the GpsGate.com position reporting system.

You can read more about how it works with the SpotterNetwork here: http://nexrad.allisonhouse.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=975

You'll need a PDA or SmartPhone that has a built in GPS or GPS capabilities that can also run GpsGate.

GpsGate currently supports:
* Pocket PC
* Java enabled cellphone
* Nokia S60 3rd Edition cellphone

Of course if you have a full fledged laptop/computer you don't need to use GpsGate.com to send position reports to the SpotterNetwork but that's an option as well if you want.
