TOMTOM into VARIO via MAC

I was told my MDA Vario has a GPS chip. Where can I get the software to activate it and will it work between a MAC and an MDA?

Vario II has one in there as found by the XDA devs. but no antena so it's not functional! As above op said vario III does have GPS.

Re: TOMTOM into VARIO via MAC

I just rang T-Mobile technical support who checked the model I have, which turns out to be a MDA Vario, the first one. He also said it has GPS capabilities.

It has Windows Mobile Version 5.0 os 5.1.195 Build 14847.2.0.0
