1. A universal serial bus (USB) dongle device comprising:
- a global positioning system (GPS) receiver that receives a GPS signal and that generates GPS data based on the GPS signal;
a USB plug for connecting to a host device;
a USB controller circuit coupled to format the inbound data in the USB format for communication to the host device and to recover the outbound data from outbound data received in the USB format from the host device; and
a millimeter wave interface, coupled to the GPS receiver and the USB controller circuit, including a first millimeter wave transceiver coupled to the wireless telephony transceiver and a second millimeter wave transceiver coupled to the USB controller circuit;
wherein the GPS receiver, the millimeter wave interface and the USB circuit are included in an integrated circuit package; and
wherein the millimeter wave interface wirelessly communicates the GPS data between the GPS receiver and the USB controller circuit via signaling in a millimeter wave frequency band.
