You may have heard of the Sierra Wireless USB 598 EVDO device for Sprint's network, but now it is available for use on the Verizon Wireless network from 3Gstore!

What makes the USB 598 for Verizon from 3Gstore so special?

* The USB 598 is the first and only EVDO device available for Verizon that supports GPS
* It is the first EVDO device that supports SMS text messaging on Mac computers
* First 3G Device to have native Windows 7 support
* Full Mac OS X Support (Leopard, Snow Leopard)
* 3Gstore.com support included
* Compatible with CradlePoint Routers (including GPS Tracking support within the router admin)

The USB 598 for Verizon is available from 3Gstore for $229.99 with NO contract, making it a great device for existing customers to upgrade to. If you need to sign up for service as well, activation credits are available - contact 3Gstore for more information.

This looks like a fantastic product. Just a few questions. Thanks in advance for any information!

Does the GPS device provide standard interfaces for use by external applications - so that navigation software, etc. will be able to see and use the device?

How does plugging it into a 3G router affect that? Can a device using WiFi directly query the GPS? In general - is this a function of hardware, software, or both?

Is the OS X Watcher application AppleScript-able?

Also, about "activation credits" - if I purchase service with a 2 year agreement, a router, and a 3G USB device all together - will credits for these devices "stack" or is it a one-per-account type of thing?
