about bluetooth gps receivers

[delta37]

i plan to buy a bluetooth gps receiver.

i just have some question before buying one :D

- will any bluetooth gps receiver work with niki? are there known receivers that will not work?
- i currently have a mapking software on niki and a map of my city, is the bluetooth gps receiver all i need for it to work? by work i mean it'll tell you where you are, where to go, etc...

thanks! :)

I have an adapt AD-350 bluetooth GPS receiver.

Works like a dime! It 'only' cost me 50 euro's (dixons, the netherlands).

Works with any app that can use GPS, (for all I know).

I just paired a NAVMAN B10 the $35 special from Expansys US. It is a SIRFIII and so far it works awesome. Cant really see why it was so cheap. Yet.....

Can I use these with Google Map? I mean that I don't need TomTom or another program at all?

Could someone tell me how to setup GPS connection over Bluetooth? I have a Nokia GPS which was working on normal HTC Touch and I just can't get it work on Nike... This is what I did:

1. Turn on GPS
2. Turn on Bluetooth on Nike
3. Search for BT device, Nokia is found
4. Enter code
5. Select serial port (the only port offered)
6. I create an outgoing port (e.g. COM2) for Nokia (in settings/connections/setting/bluetooth)
7. I set GPS program port to the previously created outgoing port in setting/system/External GPS)
8. I set GPS port number in iGO...

What did I wrong? Please help me.

Thank you in advance

That's all correct. I can't see what's the problem there.

Me neither... On my old iPaq (WinMo 2003) is a lot easier to connect as there is a connect feature in Bluetooth manager. In WinMo 2006 there is no such possibility... How can a bluetooth connection to GPS initialized without iGO? How could I connect from Windows to test the connection?
