[APP] Solution for using bluetooth GPS in many different applications!

---

I thought it would be of interesrt:
I found an app with which one can use an external bluetooth gps-mouse with many different apps. I am currently using it with google maps, C:geo, Motonav, even gpstest (where it only doesn't show the sat infos but everything else works).
Search for bluetooth gps provider in the market from mobile-j.de. It costs 1.99€ and it's well worth the money!
Now I have accuracy of 1.2 m and spot on tracks with my bt-gps.

I did not manage to find it, can you please post it here?

Great find. 2 Euro well spent. 1m accuracy inside my home with my trusty old bluetooth gps

Cheers,

PS can't post link but if you google on 'bluetooth gps provider' then it is in the top results.

that was mentioned previously in the GPS blasting topic
yet every one believed it was a dud

now somebody else post it, and every one takes it for granted... great... this is just great...

Even if it was posted in the "GPS blasting topic", which I suppose is the GPS Poll topic, before it didn't catch my attention although this is a topic, that I am very closely following. What I did see was an app that catches raw NMEA data and put's it on the screen. Now that program is not useable for anything, while the app I mentioned above can distribute the GPS data to many different programs running on the SGS.

And not meaning to offend you, but I think that this little app is worth an extra thread rather than to be mentioned in a several hundered post thread where it drowns easily under the posts.

And if it was you, who found this app at first: Your the Man!

Just bought this, and tested it on my external Bluetooth GPS and wow, this app works perfectly with my tracks, run.gps, alpinequest, gps test, gps status, runner...

Works with EZCam which is great. Because my car has an infra-red coated windscreen the phone's GPS doesn't work when the phone is placed in the dashboard Brodit mount. This makes it possible for me to place the GPS unit in the rear, where there is no infrared coating.

Cant get this to work with any programs...


EDIT: After a couple of reboots and reconnects to my BT-GPS it works.

Thank you for the tip!

Just a short update:

---

The bluetooth gps provider app works with sygic mobile maps as well!

Alternative - use your Bluetooth GPS receiver as GPS source

---

Try this as an alternative: Bluetooth GPS Mouse (I have a link here as well -- but I am somehow not allowed to post links in this forum ). Anyhow, you should be able to find the program -- just search for 'Bluetooth GPS Mouse' in the Market

You can test it freely and later buy the commercial version if it works for you as well!
