GPS Skinner: Download
Free trial version downloads
for the
GPS Skinner application and other stuff.
System Requirements
GPS Skinner is currently compiled for Xscale/ARM
processors. It currently runs on ALL Windows Mobile devices;
- Pocket PC 2002
-
Smartphone 2002
- Windows
Mobile 2003 (Pocket PC/Phone
Edition/Smartphone)
- Windows Mobile 2003 SE (Pocket PC/Phone
Edition/Smartphone)
- Windows Mobile 5 (Pocket PC/Phone Edition/Smartphone)
- Windows Mobile 6 (Classic/Professional/Standard)
- Windows CE .Net 4.2/5.0/6.0 (still under testing but working, email
me for details)
We plan to release a Windows XP version as
well as versions for older ARM/MIPS/SH3 Pocket PC
processors. Image file formats may be limited in pre-2003 devices as
the SHLoadImageFile API is either unavailable (PPC 2000) or only
supports bitmaps (PPC 2002).
GPS Skinner requires a GPS that outputs NMEA data.
Some newer
devices feature Network Operator Assisted GPS (aka A-GPS), these GPS
devices are often not accessible to external applications and are not
supported by GPS Skinner.
