Hi,

I just bought the Freedom Keying GPS, and am trying to set it up with google maps. I'm not quite sure what to do with the COM ports and the serial port protocol thing. Could anyone please help me out?

you have to setup an outgoing serial port under the bluetooth options (under COM Ports) enter that serial port and a reasonable baud rate in the External GPS settings. Then set a GPS Program port (I use GPD9).

After youve done all that, simply go into Google Maps, open the right softkey menu and choose "Use GPS" Magically! Your phone knows where it is!
