Actually I believe it is possible. I have no experience with either of
the products you mention, but technically it should be possible.

You would pair the GPS with one of the Treo's and then use GPS gate to
"split" the data to 2 serial ports... One local and one BT "outgoing"
port. You could then pair both Treos and have the second one read data
from the first.

I'm sorry if this isn't very clear, I'm not sure I'm using the correct
technical terms to explain. Please let me know if you don't understand,
I'll try to explain some other way.

Cheers,
Ricardo Silva
