If you have a question, just ask! I can't make sense out of your posting so far. Something to do with GPS....?

Nice writing stile, make it rime and you will be a star!
But seriously, the icon is there to help you manage a GPS receiver if you have one which obviously you do not.

So go out and buy a BT GPS receiver and a navigation software like TOMTOM and you will be all set.
Don't worry they all come with instruction manuals.

1st setup a bluetooth partnership with device under: bluetooth-settings-com ports-new outgoing port(com6).
2nd setup com port under start-setting-connections-external gps-gps program port(choose 7)-hardware-gps hardware port-com6-baud band as per device instructions, mine said 38400.
under access-make sure box is cheked.
This should be it. I use google maps for free with free internet access to open maps as you are driving. I use a bluetooth holux gps slim240 which I bought on ebay for $55.
Good luck.:cool:

I don't mean to be rude, but if you do not know these things and didn't think of googling for them you have no business messing around with anything saying 'GPS' on your device!

After all these are the basics:
GPS receiver is the thing (antenna and chip) that picks up the signal from the satellites and calculates your current position. It also connects to your phone via bluetooth to report this information.

Navigation software is the program you run that displays the map and guides you where to go.

And remember - if you do not know what it is you do not need it!

Don't bother, you're not ready for it yet.....
First learn about the issue then come back and ask how to use it.

[dj00912]

am all set.. plz tell me about what i asked.. !!
in my previous message.

(yeah, I know. Why bother, eh?)

as for the navigation software, well you should really buy it. You can illegaly download it from, y'know, those places where you get all your cracked games from, but, like...we should all support software developers or it might not be worth their while to make any new versions....

waitin ur replies guys..!!
plz answer my question.!!
waitin.!!

1) I can't tell you how much a receiver will cost or where to by because I do not know where you live and chances are you are not in the same country as me so I wouldn't have the info for you any way.

2) There are no major differences between latest models. If you want to know a certain receiver better find and read a review.

3) NO!!! BT headset and GPS receiver are completely different things. Though now that you mention it - here is an idea for new product. Consider a startup company :-)

4) yamilrx (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=350203) already gave you an answer for free software and a suggestion + price for receiver in US. If you want help in the future you should read carefully the answers you get!

As I noted initially a bluetooth GPS receiver is about $50-100 on ebay. I like my holux gps 240 slim because it is the size of a lipstick. I use google maps for free but there is no voice guidance unless you purchase software such as tom tom.
Follow my instructions to paire the bt receiver to your pocket pc and it should work. Remember the com port part it won't work if you don't do that part.
No! you cannot have a bt gps and bt head device but you can purchase separate and link both to your phone. I currently have my gps receiver, a bt headset, and my car's bluetooth phone linked to my qteq. As soon as I sit in the car with my phone it knows that it is my hands free and links everytime. I have a BMW 530i with built in BT phone which links to my phone contacts.

Here is my previous post:
1st setup a bluetooth partnership with device under: bluetooth-settings-com ports-new outgoing port(com6).
2nd setup com port under start-setting-connections-external gps-gps program port(choose 7)-hardware-gps hardware port-com6-baud band as per device instructions, mine said 38400.

Hope this helps????
