How can I hook a GPS to my Mac?

I want to hook a GPS engine to my Mac Pro.  What hardware and software will I need? 

What do you plan to do with the GPS device after hooking it up to your Mac Pro? Upload routes, download survey data, geo-tag photos...?
A little more info would be helpful.

  • External video projector - How can I hook up my Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter onto my new MacBookAir if the machine does not have a mini port (but only 2 USBs and 1 Thunderbolt)?

    Hi
    How can I hook up my DVI Adapter onto my new MacBookAir if the machine does not have a mini port (but only 2 USBs and 1 Thunderbolt)?
    Is there a DVI adaptor already for Thunderbolt?
    Thanks,
    JFR

    The Mini Display port and Thunderbolt port use compatible connector bodies. Your current Mini Display to DVI or VGA adapter will still work as before on the newer Thunderbolt capable machines.

  • How can I hook up 3 screens to a Mac Pro 8 core 2010 model?

    How can I hook up 3 screens to a Mac Pro 8 core. One is a 23' Apple Cinema Display, the second is a 20" Apple cinema display and the 3rd is a 32' Sony Bravia HDTV (connected to mini port with mini/HDMI connector) Do I need to buy another video card? I have heard  about 4 different scenarios about this, and they all sound a bit complicated. I thought that you could automatically connect 3 displays with the card that comes with the MacPro. It has a DVI port and 2 mini ports, so it appears that would be for 3 displays. But this is where it gets strange. Any thoughts?

    Which video card?  5x70?  If you read about the various scenarios thern for 5x70's you need two active adapters for thee monitors (TV considered a monitor).  And you should have seen references to these apple docs:
    Mac Pro (Mid 2010), Mac Pro (Early 2009): Issues with three displays and multiple DVI, HDMI connections
    Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Supported display configurations
    It's not really complicated.  Search out the appropriate adapters and hook 'em up.   For the 23" and 20", if they are DVI, you need single link adapters.  For the TV, if you end up using the DVI port for it (because possibly you can't find the appropate adapter cmbination) then you need to handle the audio separately since DVI doesn't carry audio.

  • How can i hook my old ipod to my new lap top without loosing my music

    how can I hook up my iPod touch to my new laptop without loosing my music files

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the device for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

    How can I hook up Apple TV to my Sony surround sound to watch streaming video from Netflix?

    Which Apple TV is it?
    There should be outputs you can use for video/audio. The latest Apple TV has HDMI out. Find the correct cable that matches your TV and follow Sony's user manual to hook everything up correctly.

    how can i hook up my airport to my play station 3?

    Sorry, there are two versions of the 802.11n AirPort Express. The older version has a single Ethernet port; the newer one has two. Which do you have? Is your goal to connect the PS3 to the Express by wire or wireless?
    Regardless of model, if you plan on connecting the PS3 by wireless, then please check out the following PS3 Support article for details on how to do so.

  • How can I use the gps without internet in my Ipad3 - 4G

    How can I use the gps without internet in my Ipad3 - 4G. Do I need to download any additional app than the one that already came with it?

    The Maps app included in iOS, at least as of the current version, requires an Internet connection, so you'll need to get an app that allows you to download maps to be kept on the iPad. MotionX GPS Drive is one such app, but there are others available.
    Regards.

  • How can I adjust my gps location?

    How can I adjust my gps location?  When I ask Siri to remind me of something when I get home, it would not work  I learned by accident while taking a walk that I have to go past my driveway to the far edge of my property for location services to recognize it as my home.  Can I make an adjustment to my gps?

    When you say "It always reverts to the same place" what do you mean by it?
    It sounds like you are using an address.  If you put an address into a map program, the map program will find the address based on where the address is mapped onto the map program, which you can not adjust, and which is often somewhere around the end of a driveway or even a mailbox. 
    If you had a large piece of property, or if you are looking on a map program for, say, a college campus, by simply inputting the address, there has to be a single point that is assigned to that address, which is why an entrance, driveway or mailbox is often what you get as the result. 
    This is not related to GPS in any way.
    Even if you create a location yourself, via dropping a pin, for example, you are just dropping a point onto a map - once again not related to GPS.
    GPS does nothing but show you approximately where your device is currently located.

  • How can I get the gps coordinates on my ipad which was stolen today?

    My ipad was stolen today, how can I get the gps coordinates to report to the sherriff?

    If Find My iPhone (iPad) was turned on on your iPad and the iPad is on and connected to the Internet you will be able to locate it. Go to iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID and password. If the device is off or not connected to the Internet you can send a signal to lock or erase the iPad but that action will not complete until the iPad is connected to the Internet.
    If you did not have find my iPhone turned on there is no way to track your iPad.

  • How can I hook a printer to my iPad?

    How can I hook a printer to my iPad?

    You can't connect a printer to the iPad via a cable. If you have one of the printers that support AirPrint then you can use that - the models and how how to use it are on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    Otherwise you could see if your printer manufacturer has its own app in the iTunes app store, or there are third-party apps such as PrintCentral and Print n Share which might let you print to it - you could do a search on here to see if anybody has the same model as you and whether they mention a particular app.

    Hi i would like to use my data plan on my ipod touch how can i do that its on my ipad and my ipad is way to big to keep carrying around how can i hook it up to use it on my ipod touch

    An iPod does not have a cellular radio. Thus it can't have a data plan. You may be able to share the iPad cellular Internet connection with the iPod but then yo would have to carry both the iPad and iPod
