i-gotU GT-200

[ChrisGrundy]

Hello everyone,

I recently invested almost $100 in a blue-tooth GPS receiver, the i-gotU model GT-200

Manufacturers web site here:
http://www.i-gotu.com/product/BT_GPS.html

I can easily pair it to my Wing (ROM Aserg 12) but I have not been able to make any GPS enabled software work with it.

this is what I have done so far:

-Pair the device
-Use control panel to assign a com port to the serial service on the device
-Use external gps control panel to point applications to the new comm port
-Open google maps and try to get gps data

After a while I gave up with google maps and tried other applications such as GPS-Mission and eventually GPS autodetect, wich scans all ports and tries all baud rates

So far not a single application has worked.

Has anyone else had experience with this particular receiver, or any other GPS receivers that can be of help here?

Thanks,

Chris

PD: I have already used search in this site and google. Found nothing, this receiver may be too new.

Hello everyone,

-Pair the device
-Use control panel to assign a com port to the serial service on the device
-Use external gps control panel to point applications to the new comm port
-Open google maps and try to get gps data



1) Go back to Control Panel and disable the external GPS.
2) Go to Settings\Connections\Bluetooth
3) Select the COM Ports tab, You should be able to create a COM port 6 with your GPS device.
4) Open Google Maps
5) Go to Menu\Options\GPS Settings
6) Select Set Manually, COM 6, 9600 Baud.
7) Enjoy GPS!

You'll Have to set up each GPS program manually. I've never gotten the automatic settings to work.
