Activate GPS on ArcGIS Online?

[amalkawi]

Is there a way to activate a GPS unit to display and zoom into my area on the map using ArcGIS online with a laptop connected to the internet via wireless card?

I'm looking on the display of ArcGIS online interface and I can't find anywhere to activate the GPS like I can on ArcPad.

Try using Arcgis Mobile, or the Android & iPhone ESRI ArcGIS App. You can also use ArcMap, however I've never tried it.

Try using the ArcGIS Explorer Desktop application. Click on the Add Content button and choose ArcGIS Online. Add your online map. Click on the Display tab in AGX Desktop and then click on the Receive Signal check box in the GPS Receiver options. We have found success using AGX Desktop with a Microsoft Trips & Streets GPS receiver and Verizon cellular card on laptops in the field.
