GPS Tracking with BT GPS?

[Untouchab1e]

Well, i got a Holux GPSSLIM240 bluetooth GPS device that i use with my Touch Dual. I Have TomTom 6 and Google Maps installed. It works great with Google Maps, but TomTom 6 doesnt detect it unless Google Maps is using the GPS device.

However, i want to be able to track my movement. Ive tried a few GPS tracking programs, such as TrackMe, and 3dTracking. However, they dont detect my GPS device properly. The ideal thing would off course be if Google Maps could do what i wanted, but since it cant, i have to keep searching.

Anyone out there that have actually made tracking work? I want to see my trip on Google Earth\Maps.

Cheers!

have you tried GPS Tuner? the newest version supports downloading/using google maps, and I'm pretty sure it'll do all the tracking you need...

I've only yet tested it to see if my BT gps receiver worked, so haven't really tried any of it's features, but have look here... http://www.gpstuner.com/

dont know if this will help, but I paired mine to my gps reciever, the first thing I done was to create an outgoing com "6" if i remember, I had to do that with my wizard, so automatically done it with the dual. but maybe thats just my reciever

same problem here,
tried a thousand times how to paired it and after i chose the coms tomtom6 never recognize the bt antenna, untill i start working w google maps, i close it and then tomtom worked perfect. wierd uh? maybe creepy. but thats how it works for me.
hope to be helpful.
