TBH I don't know!

CamerAware coexists fine with TomTom, but not with iGO2006, as iGO grabs all the hardware resources- once it shuts down, CamerAware is still there in the background doing it's job, it just never gets screen focus. With TTN, CA will pop up when a camera is in range, then go to the background once it's passed.

As to whether any particular platform can share the GPS resources, that's also a moot point All WM5 onwards devices with GPS should have the sharing facility built in, but it isn't very robust, which is why I use GPSGate as the sharing utility (see our review from last week!); However even though GPSGate correctly shares the signal, iGO still won't let other apps take screen focus.

Maybe you could try it with CPL?
