Hi there,

Same hardware here. The GPSLim236 must be talked to using port COM6.
You might want to get GPS-Viewer, coms in handy when you need to diagnose GPS communication problems (it's there somewhere, can't make out where, Google knows I think :)).
There's also a tickbox in the Bluetooth Manager regarding the SPP connection that says "Encryption" or something similar : make sure it is NOT checked.

Good luck !

In the connections tab click infrared and make sure "Receive Incoming Beams" is NOT ticked, If you have not already done it.
